In English

I remember browsing the library shelves as a twelve-year-old and pausing at an author photo—some kind, bearded man smiling from a book jacket. Back then, I thought: how incredible it must be to write real books for others to read. To imagine a world, turn it into words, and shape it into something as tangible and inviting as the paperback I held in my hands.

Since then, I've written seven books—two short story collections and five novels—as well as numerous essays and columns. My short fiction in English has appeared in Adelaide Literary Magazine and is forthcoming in Asymptote. I've come to learn that transforming imagination into living text is difficult—and only happens in fleeting moments. But those rare moments are what keep me writing. Becoming a writer, I've realized, isn't a goal you reach—it's a direction you follow.

In addition to writing, I work as a psychologist in rehabilitation, as a researcher, and as a teacher.
