"Novelist&Poet. Translator&Blogger. Photographer&PhotoModel. DigitalArtist&CatLover. Lara Biyuts the Silver Thread Spinner." "Live & Learn. I learn what I need and share what I know for certain." A voracious reader in the past, she is author of 8 books of fiction. Too selective to her native literature and pop-culture, she loves books by some great and not so great writers--Chekhov, Nabokov, Oscar Wilde, Ronald Firbank, Evelyn Waugh, W. Somerset Maugham, Plato, Petronius, Martial, John Dickson Carr, Rex Stout--feeling thankful to 2 books: "Memoirs of Hadrian" by Marguerite Yourcenar and "Beloved and God: The Story of Hadrian and Antinous" by Royston Lambert. Her blog Revue Blanche is about the joy of creativity, beauty of originality, power of curiosity, wonder of diversity, and the delight of imagination, limited by the small circle of her interests. See the list of all self-published books at the Lulu Author Spotligh Lulu.com/spotlight/larisabee and Lara's portfolio at SmashWords.com/profile/view/lasept. Note: On this Amazon author page, readers can see some books whose editions have been revised, both the texts and bookcovers. It proved to be impossible to remove the old editions from the author's page, that's why they remain alongside with the current editions of books written by Lara Biyuts, whose given name's derivatives and diminutives permitted to use other pen-names in the past.
