OVA CEREN

Ova Ceren writes bittersweet tales of heartbreak and magic, often inspired by Turkish and Ottoman folklore.

​

Blessed (or perhaps cursed) with a mathematical brain, she earned a degree in Computer Science and a master’s that led her into a career in IT, taking her from Türkiye to Britain.

 

After years of wrestling with algorithms in corporate jungles, she finally eloped with a debut novel instead.

​

Ova now lives in Cambridge, UK, with her husband, son, and a spirited flock of ducks and chickens.
