BIO
Biography

 received my degree in English Literature and Classics from Wilfred Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario and my degree in Computer Science from Humber Polytechnic, Toronto, Ontario. I immersed myself into Literature from a very early age. I was always fascinated by such authors as Wolf, Dostoyevsky, Atwood, Tolstoi, Kazantzakis, Homer and others. My work exposes my love for literature, the classics, philosophy and psychology. It dives into the inner thoughts of my protagonists, which reveal either their inner thoughts and their purity or the deceitfulness of their souls.
