| Introduction | Athina divided her childhood between Mozambique, where she was born and South Africa, where she now resides. Filled with curiosity, she quickly developed an avid interest in storytelling, which led to a lifelong obsession with the written word and books. Always creative, she studied Interior Design, but soon felt the pull of another dormant talent. She then studied Creative Writing, and followed that with Scriptwriting. Shortly after, she started her first novel “Love & Madness”. Since then, she became a high school English teacher, a position she has recently vacated to concentrate on other avenues, among which is editing and proofreading. She speaks, reads and writes three languages fluently. |
