I was born in Moscow in 1975. Although I speak English, Hebrew, German and a little Ukrainian, Russian is still my native language, so please cut this bio some slack. Unlike my book, it wasn't proofread by a professional translator:). It took me about three years to write God's Memory, because I actually have a full-time job, which is extremely time-consuming. I work as a creative/art director for one of the biggest game development companies in the world. I love my job, it has allowed me to travel the world, speak in front of thousands of people, and develop as a person. It has also taught me a lot about writing, as all games have to have plots, characters, and trailers. But there is one thing that I have always dreamed of doing in addition to that: Writing a real book. Personally, I am not a big fan of cliche, predictable plots, dragons, wizards, or superheroes who can survive a nuclear blast, or outsmart entire governments. I know it sells well, and that's what people enjoy reading, but there are a lot of other people doing that, and doing it so well, that I don't think there is any room left on that market for someone like me. And anyway, I am rather a fan of classical literature, of writers like Maupassant and Tolstoy.
