Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up at Pyli, near Trikala, a small picturesque municipality, smack in the middle of a gorge, a river overflowing. It did provide for daydreaming, and scenic ideas.
When did you first start writing?
If any sort of fiction counts, of any level, that would be at the age of six. Had my moment of eco-terrorism and gene splicing all mixed into one.
