Life

In 1983 he was a participant in the prestigious Clarion Science Fiction Writers' Workshop for aspiring science fiction and fantasy authors, in which he subsequently also worked as a lecturer. His first novel Inner Eclipse (dt. Inside Eclipse , 1993) was published in 1988. His second novel Subterranean Gallery (1989) (dt. The underground gallery , 1994) won the Philip K.
