Tzigane
Biography
Tzigane grew up in Southern, California. His mother worked in the Hollywood film industry. His father published a series of three titles in San Francisco. It was inevitable that these influences from film and fiction would kindle an interest in writing screenplays and novels.
Life does not always lead in a straight line however. By the time he became a young adult, the country had been swept by 'space' fever and he worked in Aerospace where he developed an interest in programming and artificial intelligence.
Moving to Tokyo, he was a copywriter for various Japanese firms and developed software for his own company where he was also editor of a trade magazine. After returning to the U.S., he finished his degree in English Literature at the University of California at Berkeley in 1990.
These various interests, A.I., literature and writing finally came together in the last ten years when wrote screenplays (both dramatic and action/adventure) and a novel. One of these screenplays, 'Grail-5' deals with our world in the near future (2064) and the collision of Transhumanism and the nanotechnology revolution. That screenplay became the basis for a novel, 'The Turnings of Fire.'
