I left my native country, Poland, in the 80s and settled in England. It took me a few years to learn English well enough to be able to enroll on an educational course and after three years of full time studies I graduated with a diploma in professional photography. As much as I tried to succeed in photography it wasn't to be and I ended up taking up various office jobs. This however has not been in any way fulfilling and eventually I decided it was time to change my direction in life. I have always dreamt of becoming a writer and it seemed like a perfect time to give it a go. I left my job and spent some time writing my first novel. This novel is called The Encounter. The Encounter is a spiritual story that I enjoyed very much writing and is based on my understanding of higher aspects of life and the meaning of our existence. I have always believed that energy originates from one source and everything exists within that energy. Our bodies are dependent upon energy and there is an universal force which governs our existence. The story has been written around this understanding and brings up various possibilities and often complex, thought-provoking concepts. The information contained within pages of The Encounter can produce many internal conflicts for the reader. However, the understanding is based upon the energies associated with the universal energy of love. People working in unison with love energies can bring about a greater understanding of how life can be transformed into higher level of consciousness, where thought and perception are improved, refined and enhanced, resulting in greater knowledge, unity and cooperation
