Marina Kavallieraki was born in Athens and comes from Chania. She has graduated in the department of French Literature from the University of Bourgogne. She travels through books and she sometimes blogs in the internet to unblock herself, but what she likes the most is to create fairytales with children for children and then to bring them to life through sounds, pictures and crafts. At an early age the phrase “Once upon a time...” seemed magical to her. She keeps herself occupied with the latest technology and especially with its application in education and interactive activities and craft projects for children. She “cooks” her own “fairy- recipes” like “Agapo’s braids” which was distinguished from the competition in short stories of the “Kritiki Estia” (Cretan Hearth) with subject the hospitality in Crete. Some of her short stories have been published in electronic literary magazines. She has been working in a non-governmental organization for the last thirteen years dealing with children. Above all she is the proud mother of Dimitroula.
