James Antoniou is an author and translator. His great love is fiction as
he likes to create worlds in which the reader can be lost and escape from the
problems of his everyday life.
"I am trying to offer people around me
everything the books offer to me. For me, a good book is companionship, a
journey, the start and the end of my day."
James
Antoniou has studied English Literature and Psychology, as well as Creative
Writing. He has been writing (and translating) for many years, working in his home place Greece
and internationally. The author has four books published in Greece (plus two upcoming). And three e-books in Greek and an e-book in English language (plus two upcoming), contributed by Smashwords and available at the top international e-book stores.
Essentially,
his main kind of writing is somewhere between thriller and the "adult
fairy-tale", as he likes to call it. However, he has so far dealt with
other genres such as classical literature, fantasy, epic, steampunk and lastly, with suspense detective
adventures.
His personal
view:
"Writers take partly the role of grandfather
before the fireplace, when in the cold nights of winter walk their
grandchildren in worlds where dragons, knights, witches and evil creatures are
living."
