Author Biography

Born in the Olympic city of Sarajevo in 1977, Bozz Dreamtton aspired to grow into an artist, painter, and writer who would decorate the world stage with his creations. Instead, he lived through more than three war-torn years during the Seige of Sarajevo, during which his dreams never died. By the age of 19, he was a refugee from Yugoslavia living in the United States, having escaped ethnic cleansing, endured the horrors of war and lived to write about it in his fourth language. After nearly two decades as an individual contributor in corporate theater, he decided to become an independent novelist and further pursue his dreams. He is a proud American living in Texas, an artist and a freeman, a free mind and a free spirit, but most of all, he is a proud father of two boys.
