Adrian is one of those people who probably spend more time in their own imagination than in the real world. He had always found reality somewhat boring and had been escaping to these awe-inspiring imaginative worlds full of fascinating stories just to avoid every day’s boredom since he was a child. He was born and lives in Slovakia, the little heart of Europe.
He was always very good with numbers and analyzing everything, or maybe over-analyzing would be a better term. His analyzing part was especially annoying to a lot of people, even to some members of his family. He was a very smart kid and he never let anyone get away with any sort of bullshit, so he was never exactly a popular person among social groups.
Although his major at university was economics and management, his favorite subject during university studies was psychology. “It’s amazing what you can learn about yourself and others thanks to simple understanding of how the human mind works” he says, “It’s like a beautiful puzzle.”
He worked five years as a freelance translator and during this time he started to write all his works in English. Then he made a radical change in his career and worked for almost four years as an accountant for a big corporation. Yes, you read that right. Although it was very demanding and sucked out all of his creative energy from him for a couple of years, he met a lot of good people and gained a lot of inspiration along the way throughout this experience.
More as a hobby than a career, he was pursuing filmmaking and writing screenplays for some time and for a very brief moment he was trying to grasp knowledge of programming and creating video games, which he realized is incredibly time-consuming and maybe a little bit above his skills, so he knocked it on the head, “at least for now” he says. And ultimately he decided to transform his stories and ideas into books. What the future holds for him now remains to be seen.
