Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a Polish writer introducing my debut novel, an adventure-thriller “The Bewilderment”.
As a Master of Science I’m a IT developer, but somehow I found working with people more interesting than working with machines. That’s why I decided to be a university lecturer. Since 1996 I also carry on a family tiny private college in my marvelous hometown of Bielsko-Biala, Poland.
I love inspiring people, make them feel and think in some creative way. I love to watch a spark in people’s eyes when they discover the new way of solving problems and when they find the things they thought difficult turn simple in fact. That is the main reason I’m back to writing again (I was doing it as a small kid turning some descriptions of my family trips into a vivid adventure story and issuing my amateur newspapers). I want to amaze and inspire people, showing some things from different angle. I believe an independent thinking and being open-minded is a key to make this world better.
Privately I hate boredom so I’m trying to lead an active life. Traveling, learning of different cultures and architecture and all kind of sports, especially skiing, swimming and martial arts are my favorite activities along with good music and books. Nevertheless, now I’d like to share my new passion of writing. I hope my books will entertain and inspire you.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“The Bewilderment” is my challenge to write some extraordinary, unique thriller. I found some idea which definitely had to be written down. Nevertheless I could point some inspirations like ‘The Blair Witch Project’ movie, Stephen King novels, unexplained real story of Diatlov Pass, Tool music, etc.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I will surely miss many but the names twisting in my mind now are: Don Miguel Ruiz, Umberto Eco, Zbigniew Herbert, Dean Koontz, Dan Brown, Stephen King, Harlan Coben, David Baldacci… I also like to read biographies of interesting people. I love everything what’s innovative and unusual.
What are you working on now?
I’m on my first steps to create the second part of “The Bewilderment”
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Only this one: when it comes to writing – erase all the limits – think lateral and be creative!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Think for yourself, question authorities.”
What are you reading now?
“Promise me” by Harlan Coben
What’s next for you as a writer?
Another book for sure, cause I found my new passion of writing.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Maybe “The four agreement” by Miguel Ruiz or some of my favorite astrophysics books… no, I think I would choose some random books I have never read before.
