Award-winning author: 2020 Readers' Favorite Silver Medal! *** Born in Bulgaria, I have lived in places like Germany, Belgium and Iraq, before settling down with my family in Luxembourg. With varied interests, I have always suffered from an insatiable appetite for facts stemming from an unrestrainable intellectual curiosity. It has certainly influenced my academic background and career: after acquiring Master degrees in Greek Philology, German and English Translation, I graduated in Crisis Management and Diplomacy and, most recently, undertook an MBA. My career has been equally broad and diverse, swinging from that of an army paratrooper and a military intelligence analyst; through to that of a civil servant with the European Commission, and presently, that of a clerk, performing purely financial tasks in a major bank. Member of MENSA, I am keen on reading, travelling and scuba diving. For my book 'Fascinating Facts for the Whole Family' I involved my elder son Pavel (then aged 8) to do the illustrations and handpick the facts. Here is a testimony: ‘A fascinating list of facts perfect for anybody who just wants to know stuff! A FINALIST and highly recommended.’ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards Visit https://www.raiseyourbrain.com to subscribe for my newsletter.
