I was born in Croatia in the first months of World War II and I can remember being a little boy later in the war and watching war planes flying overhead to bomb a nearby village. I lived with my parents and three brothers on a farm in the Croatian mountains. It was not an easy life under Communist rule. We worked hard and there was still no money.

Others prefer books that stuff their heads with adventure, science or fantasy, creating new worlds, alternative universes, out of this world tales, magic, or a combination of all of the above.
