Croatian-based author with eight published books behind my name. So far, all of my titles were written and published in my native language except House of Durga. I am proud to say that in Croatia I have managed to climb to the status of a bestselling author and have gained fantastic critique from both readers and academic circles. The main genres I write in are: psychological thriller mixed with a pinch of horror and Science Fiction mixed with a pinch of a thriller. It might be interesting to mention that I am a huge lover of local mythology and have been on a mission to try and salvage what is left by bringing it into my books.
As for other things I do besides writing? Well, I'm proud to say that these are some of the trades I can put on my resume; Editor, Illustrator, Columnist, CEO of Naklada Cranium (Croatian-based publishing house). And in my free time, I am managing a YouTube channel under my name on which we upload short podcast stories about Croatian Myths and Legends recorded in English. I love spending my time with my boyfriend Danijel, my six cats, and an oldtimer dog. What else could I say? I'm a bad singer, an even worse dancer, and still, there is nothing stopping me from singing and dancing.
In the end, I'd like to say a huge thank you to all of you who will give my books a chance. <3 You make it worth writing.
