About Me





I was born in Athens, Greece on a hot summer day in 1968. Three months later my parents moved to a peaceful suburb of Melbourne, Australia. My Grandparents soon followed.
I spent my early years climbing and falling out of trees, collecting worms and frogs and listening to the vivid stories of my beloved late Grandfather -- a survivor of the 1922 Asia Minor holocaust.
Since my early days, I've loved to tell stories and daydream. I also developed a love for movies, rock music, and anything that had to do with mythology, fantasy, fiction, and the supernatural.
Instead of ordering lunch from the school cafeteria, I held on to my pocket money so I could buy comics, LP's and music magazines.
I still remember my seventh grade teacher complaining to my parents: "Your son seems to be in another world". I must confess. On many occasions, I felt like my mind and soul were in other worlds.
Here on earth, I attended a Catholic Boys' school. I loved school so much that I couldn't bear to stay for the high school diploma. Yet this did not stop me from pursuing my passion for writing.
In September 1987, at the age of 19, I followed my parents back to our native Greece where I've been living here since then.
My all time favorite book is George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four".
I don't own a car and strongly believe the best transportation are our own two feet! I don't carry a WalIet! I don't wear a watch and I have never held a cell phone in my hand! In my limited free time I enjoy watching movies and gardening. At home, I preserve more than forty species of internal/external plants. It's amazing what soil, manure, photosynthesis and water can create.
I now live in harmony with my Puerto Rican wife and our 37-month old daughter.
