IVAN OBOLENSKY


Ivan’s unusual upbringing provides the background for a fascinating American Gothic series that captures the American high society of the 1970s, weaving intrigue and the occult in a style uniquely his that will enchant the reader.

Ivan attended Buckley and The Hill School and spent a year at Lancing College in Sussex, England before attending Boston University. He wrote in his youth, but it was never a passion. That changed in 2011, when he was hired by his wife, Mary Jo, to write articles on language and current affairs for her company’s website, which were then translated into Latin American Spanish.

In 2012, Ivan attended a Long Ridge Writer’s Group course and started writing fiction under the tutelage of Tom Hyman. As their relationship developed, Tom Hyman became his editor. The short stories led the way to the Eye of the Moon series, Eye of the Moon (2018), Book 2, Shadow of the Son (2021) and Book 3, Dark of the Earth (2024). Ivan was deeply involved in the audiobook production of Eye of the Moon, which released widely in 2023 and won "Honorable Mention" for "Audiobook: Fiction" in the Readers' Favorite International Book Awards.

The first two books in the Eye of the Moon series are published in Latin American Spanish: El ojo de la luna (2020) and A la sombra del hijo (2022).

Ivan's hobbies include photography and music.
