Bewildering Stories biography

to Bewildering Stories bibliography

At the ripe age of 35, I still haven't quite figured out who I am, and what I want to do with my life when I grow up. I like to create and express myself, be it through computer programming I do at work, composing songs, or writing short stories. Sometimes I do not even know where the ideas come from, or what I mean by this or that, but there is that drive to create things that are beautiful, elegant and touching.

I was born in Belgrade, Serbia, where I lived first 19 years of my life. For the last 15 years, I have lived in Sacramento, California. Lately, I have really been drawn to Portland, Oregon; so, maybe, I'll end up living there. It reminds me of my hometown, as the nostalgia has been kicking in a bit, lately.

I am very much an escapist at heart, very fond of wispy clouds, rain, winds, and of course, the mystery that night and darkness bring. I like to create dreamy, ambient music, and write stories that teeter on the edge between fantasy and reality.

I suppose I am just another artistic geek out there, and I am really happy that there is a site such as this one, that helps us join together in an effort to write beautiful, heartfelt, and original stories.
