edit data

I am sport journalist, working for one of the most popular daily newspapers in my country "Bulgaria Today". Got a chance to cover last two summer Olympics in Beijing and in London.

My first book was inspired by the amazing story of legendary Bulgarian weightlifter Galabin Boevski, an Olympic, World and European champion. At the end of 2011 he was caught with 9 kg of cocaine at Sao Paulo airport. He was traveling back to his native country with his 15 years old daughter Sarah.

Boevski was sentenced for 9 years and 4 months. He stayed just two years in Brazilian prison and surprisingly one day he returned home...

The book's name is "The white prisoner - Galabin Boevski's secret story". The English edition released on 30 May 2014. Check here all ...more

Our next guest Helen Alexander made my day with her answers. She was pleasant enough to dig deeply on them and to present not only her books, but to draw a personal portrait with words. Speaking of drawing, she is working as 3D computer games designer, who already published few books. Helen is coming from Russia and still keeps great respect from the authors of her native land. Last year she publi Read more of this blog post »
