The Playground Diaries series is more than a set of thrilling novels—it’s a journey through the complex interplay of international politics, espionage, and the resilience of the human spirit. At the heart of this gripping trilogy lies its centerpiece novel, Playground: Ukraine, which captures the tension, bravery, and heart-wrenching struggles of a nation fighting for its freedom.
In a symbolic gesture of solidarity and support, the series will soon be available in Ukrainian. This translation holds a special place in our hearts, representing a tribute to the resilience and courage of the Ukrainian people as they defend their homes and their future.
While Playground: Ukraine itself is set to hit the shelves in early 2025, we’re thrilled to announce that the first book in the series, Playground: Cyprus, has already been translated into Ukrainian and is now on sale. This novel, which sets the stage for the series, explores themes of intrigue, loyalty, and betrayal against the stunning backdrop of the Mediterranean.
Our vision for the Playground Diaries extends far beyond language barriers. Next, we plan to expand the series into Greek, a natural step given the Cypriot setting of the first book. A Greek translation will allow local readers to connect with the vivid locales and cultural nuances portrayed in Playground: Cyprus.
After Greek, we’ll turn our attention to a Russian translation. This is a significant step, as the series delves deeply into the political and social dynamics of Russian-Ukrainian relations. Translating these novels into Russian will provide an opportunity for critical reflection and dialogue, emphasizing the series’ universal themes of justice, identity, and the pursuit of freedom.
Each translation is a bridge—a way to connect readers worldwide to the pulse-pounding action and emotional depth of the Playground Diaries. But more than that, it’s a testament to the shared humanity that lies at the core of these stories.
We’re proud to bring the Playground Diaries to diverse audiences, and we can’t wait for readers to experience this trilogy in their own languages. Whether you’re stepping into the sun-drenched intrigue of Playground: Cyprus, the gripping geopolitical drama of Playground: Ukraine, or the thrilling climax of Playground: London, we hope you’ll join us on this incredible journey.
Stay tuned for updates on translations, release dates, and more as we continue to make the Playground Diaries a truly global phenomenon
