About Me
I'm a South African, and have recently returned from Poland after five years. While there, I completed a recipe book and translated a novel for the South African Embassy in Poland. I also translated and edited the English subtitles of three Polish films - a last-minute job that popped up during our last three months there. My decision to explore 'writing-for-real' has lead me to this site in November 2010, and here I am, a year down the line, still exploring.
