Background
Information
Born in Hungary, I emigrated early on to Canada and have dual citizenship. I currently split my time between Vermont, USA and Bordeaux, France and have lived at various times in Hungary, Canada, the UK, Germany, Austria, Japan and Uruguay.
Exposure to many different cultures and languages has deeply marked my writing and influences come from many different sources. I have also always had an abiding interest in the environment, and therefore several of my books are environmental international thrillers.
In my books, I endeavor to provide some learning to the reader about different cultures and / or international / environmental issues, while at the same time titillating and thrilling him / her with suspense and a good plot.
Influences include Graham Greene (The Third Man) and Stieg Larsson (Millenium Trilogy).
