Hi! Welcome to my website

You’ll find here a selection of my writing: short stories, travel writing, poems, a variety of recipes and other works. Writing has been my biggest passion since the age of eleven when I published my first poem in a school paper. It was written in my local dialect and it was about my “nonno” (grandfather) who was walking as fast as the wind and whose heart would give everything to others, without leaving anything for himself.

Over the years I published poems, short stories and reviews in respected Croatian literature magazines (Rival, Nova Istra, Vijenac) while working as a journalist for the newspaper Novi List. Since moving to London 10 years ago I’ve been working as a translator in the legal field for Croatian, Serbian and other languages of the region. At the same time I’ve been working intensively on improving my English.

Writing is like an irrational frenzy that takes over during every spare moment I can find in between juggling a full-time job and a small baby; usually during lunch breaks at a solitary table in the Caffe Nero opposite the office, those short moments before going to sleep or when stealing some time during a busy weekend. Here is a selection of my old work (translated from Croatian) and brand new pieces written in English.

I’ve just finished writing my first novel in English and will soon upload a chapter or two. At the moment, I am already plotting the next one.

My recommendations:

Sarajevo - Skis and the City


SHORT STORY: An Easter Fairy Tale
