August Renieri is retired, 66 years old and lives in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

He has lived in many countries including Mexico, Guatemala, Paraguay, South Korea, The Philippines, Germany and now in the Netherlands since 2005.

He has been writing since he was 15.

He has one previous novel and one short story, both science fiction, that were self-published and offered both for free, as a gift to the spirit of storytelling.

He has been a science fiction fan most of his life, with Kurt Vonnegut jr. as one of his favourites, but he has been writing contemporary fiction for the last 15 years.

He is also a musician and a jeweller, crafts that he loves as much as writing.

He is currently working on his next novel.

He says he hopes, that when his time comes, he falls at his desk, in the middle of a word, with his fingers on the keyboard.
