Madlen Krushev says that writing runs in her family. Both her parents have had a flair for writing all their lives and published poem collection books in their youth. Madlen had a passion for writing from an early age that she carried into adulthood. Her inspiration has largely come from the children she has taught; the things they say and do, their facial and verbal expressions, thoughts and actions, and their “real life problems and experiences” have been a treasure chest of ideas. Her nine year old son has also been a fountain of ideas in this aspect. Her children's stories are both “educational” in terms of learning experiences for the younger reader as well as colorfully illustrated and entertaining.
