Author Biography

I was born in Athens in 1968. Since childhood I had two major dreams: to become a lawyer and to be able to write. My first dream became true quite early. I studied Law at the university of Babes Bolyai Cluj - Napoca, in Romania. Since 1997 I have been working as a lawyer. As far as my second dream is concerned, I experimented a lot with writing. I translated two books from English into Greek, "Blood Ties" and "On Pilgrimage"; both book were written by the English authoress Jennifer Lash- Fiennes, both of them were published in Greece by "Kalendis" publications. In 2013 my first book "London Tube, seven stations seven stories" was published by Akakia Publications. It is a collection of seven fictional short stories, that combines two great loves of mine: the English history and the London underground. I was always fascinated by the English history. So, I decided to write a guidebook about London and I categorized the monuments of the city according to the historic period they were created. I hope that the "Historic guidebook of London and Outskirts" will urge you to go to London and visit all these places.
