I was born waaaay back in 1952 and had a very lucky "Baby Boomer" childhood. That meant I got to see all those great Hammer films at the cinema, I watched The Mickey Mouse Club and Disneyland on TV (not to mention Batman; The Wild, Wild West; Dark Shadows; Star Trek; Lost in Space and so many more cultural touchstones), and I knew and loved Vincent Price, Walt Disney, Bette Davis, Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. I was 16 when Woodstock "happened" and man walked on the moon. I not only remember where I was when JFK was assassinated, I watched Nixon give his resignation speech. I saw The Exorcist first-run, did the Twist and the Frug, survived Viet-Nam, Civil Rights, disco, grunge and rap (barely). Somewhere in between all th

Born and raised in Ukraine. I write rarely, but when I do, it consumes me entirely—I can’t focus on anything else until the manuscript is finished. English is my third language, which adds to the challenge, but that only makes it more rewarding when something good comes out of it.

My writing journey began after I enrolled in the Marine Academy—a decision that ended in spectacular failure. The experience was so absurd and funny that I had no choice but to write about it. And so, my first novel, "Marinizm", was born—inspired by my own fiasco and my admiration for Charles Bukowski.

My latest works include "ICE: A Survival Novella", a tribute to my granddad, and "The Happy World of Unhappy People", a humorous book meant to slow down the rushing c
