Heathens. Life is a Story - story.one

Stella Verzak

I come from a world of three-hundred word stories, which I've had to write every week in Croatia, if I wanted to or not. But, unlike back then, currently I am in the process of changing my gender, and this is so to speak my first official appearance and writing this work has helped me explore myself as well.

I believe that good stories ought to unfold and play themselves in front of the reader's eyes. As I rather approach writing with film-making techniques, especially from Quentin Tarantino, but I also get inspired plenty by Mr. King and the dark that lurks behinds his pages.

This book isn't for me just words. Each character in the book is a little peace from within me; some are people I've met and most creatures are animals I've had the honor to hold. Also, this book has changed lots through writing it, since I keep getting influenced in life and just have to write it down.
