Her debut novel Nebesa v robidah, roman v zgodbah (Blackberry Heaven) (JKSD, 2007) won the 2010 European Union Prize for Literature (EUPL).

In the warmer months she lives in Jurovski Dol, where she runs a small biodynamic farm. With the eco-artistic collective Zelena Centrala she hosts young people from all over Europe, bringing them into contact with the land and trying to equip them for combating climate change. In the winter she lives in Berlin where she is trying to figure out how this kind of engagement with the issue of climate change can also be conducted in the concrete surroundings of a vast city with over three and a half million residents.
