I was born and raised in Athens, Greece. LA is my home base, where I live with my two children and our multitude of pets. I have worked as a photographer and a translator moving from one place to another (New York, Key West, Florida, Germany, Slovakia). I have a Bachelor's in English Literature with a concentration in African Literature and Creative writing. I speak five languages. My favorite motto is "live and let live". I am the author of five novels. Currently, I dedicate my time to writing, website designing, and promoting my children's read-along photo storybook: Twinkie, The Tiniest Dog in the World.

The king just wouldn't stay down and malcontents wanted him back.</span></p>
