Moi Drodzy Czytelnicy!

Pisanie to moje nieszkodliwe hobby. Tworzenie bohaterów, a następnie przepuszczanie ich przez młyn niebezpiecznych (nie zawsze) przygód i relacji, to zaskakująco przyjemna dla mnie rzecz.

Łączę czasy współczesne z mitologią słowiańską i naszymi słowiańskimi wierzeniami, by nadać obu tym częściom czegoś nowego. Bohaterowie wtedy nie tylko muszą stawić czoła wyzwaniom współczesności, ale także odnaleźć się w dotychczas nieznanym przez siebie świecie.

Powieści to głównie fantastyka, ale osadzona w obecnej Polsce, w różnych jej miastach.
