Who am I?

Who is anybody?

Some interesting trivia about me:

1. If you tell me something in writing, I will be suspicious until I can independently verify it.
2. If you tell me something face-to-face I will believe it instantly. If it’s a bad thing, I will get angry on your behalf.
3. My favourite cheese is smoked cheese.
4. My favourite drink is orange juice, unless we’re talking about alcohol, in which case it varies depending on the situation and availability of the alcohol.
5. My favourite place in the world is Niagara Falls (the Canadian side), despite it being a tourist trap. I even bought a giant Cat In The Hat hat when I was there.

I live in Wroclaw, Poland. I write English textbooks, work as an English coach for business people and actors, translate stuff from German into English, do the odd graphic design job and write fiction. I write short stories and stage plays and essays, and my friends have convinced me not to publish my second novel on Amazon, but rather to send it to publishers.

I haven’t published my first novel – I haven’t even finished it. It’s a much bigger thing altogether, and only part one of an at least two-part trilogy. I write to impress my girlfriend, whose job is to know a lot about good writing. She is also my editor. This blog is my training ground.

I change the blog around from time to time. I tell myself it’s because I am continually updating the look and feel of the site, but really it’s because I can’t leave things as they are.

Some more interesting trivia about me:

1. I once had to bribe the Romanian police just to leave the country.
2. Together with the US marines, we gatecrashed an exclusive nightclub in Warsaw.
3. I have travelled in the Arctic during winter.
4. I have a phobia of snakes, but I wish them no harm.
