My first blog

I decided to use a blog to promote that which I do best – writing crime novels. I’m aware that many obstacles lie on my path, but I’m determined like never before. Sooner or later I will reach the goal I have set for myself.

I was born in Slovenia (in the European Union), but in addition to living in my home country, I have also spent considerable time in the USA, France and Germany. I’m fluent in English, French and German. Because of my extensive international experience my novels are set in the USA and various parts of Europe.

I can boast of having achieved exceptional success in Slovenia, both in libraries and bookstores. All three novels have sold very well, and all three have been ranked among the top 100 most borrowed library books. Enthusiastic readers write to me, saying they can’t put my books down and read them within a few days.

Individual libraries have ranked my books among the top 10, sometimes even the top five most-borrowed books.

I’ve decided to offer one of my books for free for a short period (till 31.12.2011) on Smashwords.

I invite you to visit the following website, where you’ll be able to download my novel:
