Sündinud 1978 Tallinnas. Kirjutanud novelle, lühijutte ning romaane. "Pikaajaline kokkusaamine" koondab 2017-2020 kirjutatud novelle. Alates 2020. aastast kirjutan novelle harvem ja olen keskendunud pikematele tekstidele. 2021 ilmunud "Madis Jeffersoni 11 põgenemist" räägib mehest, kes kogu elu üritab põgeneda. Teos on kirjutatud fragmentaarse romaani vormis ning sündmuste sujuva ülemineku asemel toimub tegevus hüpetena. Raamatu sündmused põhinevad olulises osas päriselt toimunud sündmustel ja mahukal arhiivimaterjalil, kuid tegu on siiski romaaniga. 2022 ilmunud "Hea venelane" on suureks kasvamise lugu aastast 1993. Peategelane on eesti-vene perekonnast pärit 15-aastane poiss, kes sattub poolkogemata rivaalitsevate sensitiivide maailma. Raamat on kirjutatud filmilikus võtmes. Neljas raamat ilmub 2024 septembris. Born 1978 in Tallinn. "Conjugal visit" is a collection of novellas, where most stories deal with the issue how incidental meetings influence people´s lives. "11 Escapes of Madis Jefferson" is a novel about a man, who has been escaping all his life, from home, Foreign Legion, later from prisons and mental asylums all over Soviet Union, while KGB, army and other people are trying to catch him. Story is built up in a fragmentary form, dealing with turrning points in his life. Book is based on the real story of Johannes Lapmann. "The Good Russian" is a growing-up story taking place in 1993. Protagonist is a 15-year old boy from Estonian-Russian family who is suddenly taken into the strange and adventurous world of fate healers, whilst he is trying to figure out his identity, love, friendship, business and getting to a Shamen concert. Translations published or being published in German, Hungarian, Finnish and Latvian.
