About Me

My disposition is that of an irritated underdog as I continue in my literary endeavours. Existence is far too strange not to write about its best and worst, and I continue to travel the long night’s journey to fulfill my literary passions and aspirations.

​

My love for literature sprouted in a library of a quaint European spa town hidden behind the Iron Curtain where I spent most of my early childhood—both the library and Curtain. Since that time, I have been irretrievably captivated by the magic of books, literature, and writing across cultures, languages, and continents.

​

My writing style exhibits my professional passion for clarity, affinity for bluntness, love of cinema, and general impatience with dawdling narratives, and that’s why I give readers cinematic action, direct prose, and machine gun dialogue that propel my swift novels.

I understand writing being a craft. To me, cereal box copy counts for as much as does the highest prose, and only the best craft may become the art that is literature. All recorded culture – writing, music, and visual art – are mere shorthand time capsules for existence in any given moment, and left for the future generations.

I have eclectic literary interests, and in writing I draw on my deep affection for realism, magical realism, transgressional fiction, creative nonfiction, and postcolonial literature.

The selection of his favourite writers include Tennessee Williams, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Emile Zola, and I have been deeply afflicted by postcolonial literature the likes of Jean Rhys, and J.M. Coetzee, and forever marked by the timeless classics of Marry Shelley, and Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

My writing philosophy is that of the “click” which authors seek to complete their designs as they build connections of the most implausible kinds.
