I'm a 44-year-old storyteller, actor, and comedian. I've been weaving tales since I was a little five-year-old dreamer. You know, the kind who'd grab a pen and start scribbling away in a notebook, lost in a world of imagination. Life wasn't always a cakewalk for me; I've faced my fair share of struggles, navigating the challenges of poverty. Despite the odds stacked against me, I've poured my heart and soul into writing. Nine books so far, each a labor of love, even though none have made it to the shelves yet. But hey, I'm not giving up. Apart from being a wordsmith, I've dabbled in acting and stand-up comedy, mainly back in my homeland, Croatia. There's something magical about connecting with people through laughter and emotion, and it's been a wild ride on the stage and screen. Let me spill the beans on my life's work – the "GUARDIAN OF NYFAAST SAGA." This epic adventure has been brewing since 1995, and it's a massive undertaking: 15 books divided into three parts, with three sequels already in the bag. It's not just a story; it's a universe I've crafted, a world that's been living in my head for years. Sure, my books haven't seen the light of day for reasons beyond my control, but that doesn't stop me. I'm a married family man with two fabulous kids, drawing inspiration from the ups and downs of life to infuse authenticity into my creations. So, I am pressing on with my artistic journey. Life has thrown curveballs, but my belief in the power of storytelling keeps me going. Join me in exploring the realms of imagination, laughter, and introspection—because, in the end, the stories we tell define us.
