Niles IT Professional and a Mom Writes a Novel

Alina Rubin is an IT professional and a mom, who, during the pandemic, used the time and energy saved on the commute to explore her passion for writing. Her first novel, "A Girl with a Knife," a historical adventure of a woman doctor, will be available on Amazon on February 26, 2022.

At the time when wealthy young ladies do little more than embroidery, Ella Parker escapes her luxurious but lonely life, disguises herself as a male medical student, and finds her footing in the university; but when she brilliantly saves a patient and gains approval of a famed professor, she must choose between truth and lies, and distinguish between real and false friends, before her pretense is discovered.

Alina Rubin lives in Niles with her husband and daughter. When not working or writing, she enjoys yoga, hiking, and traveling. She's also an active member of the Niles Library and its Writing Club.

"I've always been an avid reader. During the Pandemic, I also started watching period fiction, such as Downton Abbey. One day a story came to me, and I could not sleep until I started writing it. After I finished my first draft, I studied writing and worked with other writers to make it better."

Praise for A Girl with a Knife

"A Girl with a Knife is a riveting, juiced-up morality tale, predicted blockbuster success!"
