This trilogy is a good way to take a break from everyday problems and other difficulties in real life.
Co-authorship with Lev Kruglikov
Leo Kruglikov is the husband of Elena Samoilova. He shares all her hobbies and loves outdoor activities.

The costumes for these events are sewn by Elena Samoilova for her husband on her own, using her inherent imagination and high aesthetic taste.
To date, the authors tandem has released only two books in the series “On the Road to the Legend”, but this project was conceived as a trilogy. There are prerequisites that a new novel will appear in 2016. Many readers complain that Elena has been writing each novel for quite some time. They should remember that literature is a hobby of the author, and not the main occupation. In addition to writing, Elena Samoilova has a permanent job and many other hobbies.
Snake gold
Novels from the series "Serpentine Gold" came out in the series "Fantasy Magic" from the publishing house "Alpha Book". To date, two works have been published (Children of the Road and Likhodolye), and the third is at the writing stage. These novels reflect the whole personality of such a person as Elena Samoilova. The author’s books are written in a logical and understandable language. She passes through all the feelings and experiences of her characters. For example, in this novel, Elena is keenly worried about the main character - a girl with a difficult fate.
All the events of the novels revolve around creatures of the snake-humans race, to which the main character of the novel belongs. Her family was killed by snake hunters, because the skin of these creatures has magical properties and is able to protect not only from magic, but also from weapons. The main difficulty is that in the world described by the author, laws and society do not protect snake-humans at all, since they perceive them as a resource for obtaining unusual material, and not a living being.
Reviews on the books of Elena Samoilova
The works of Elena, first of all, amaze with their maturity. Many critics praised the colorful style and logic of all the works of the author. Books under her name have been published for more than a year (since 2005), and each work is expected by readers.

The energy and love of life of Elena Samoilova is transmitted to readers through the pages of novels.
Often in reviews you can find a comparison of Elena with another famous writer of the fantasy genre - Olga Gromyko. The quality of the books of both their favorites is highly appreciated by readers for their unsurpassed style and detailed descriptions, which make them immerse themselves in the life of the characters. Meanwhile, it is interesting that Elena began to write, guided precisely by the work of Gromyko, so you can call her a real student of the great writer.
In the circles of fantasy lovers, the books “The Traveler” and “On the Road to the Legend” were most highly rated. The last of these books can be attributed to the classics of the genre and compared with the works of Tolkien and other authors. Fans of Elena’s creativity are sure that the heights achieved today are not the limit. With each book, the quality of the novels improves, the plot twists more and more difficult, the characters of the characters are written brighter and clearer.
