Interested in his Slavic roots from an early age, Andrew Anzur Clement spent his teenage years devouring a good number of sci-fi/fantasy books, during which time he first encountered the characters of Stas and Nell. While working and studying in Central Eastern Europe and South Asia, he discovered an insatiable wanderlust that has taken him to many fascinating places across the globe. Now in his mid-twenties, the native of Southern California lives on the far side of the Atlantic. He can sometimes be found slinking through the nosebleed section of Europe's opera houses, searching for inspiration.
