ABOUT ME

I have lived since march 1985 and was born in a village in Tangerang, Indonesia. I have worked in a variety of positions, from cashier, tutor, account manager, to waiter, etc. Nevertheless, writing has always been my favorite thing to do (other than sleeping).
I write comedy, romance, bildungsroman, coming-of-age, adventure, and experimenting in other genres as well. Some of my published novels, including: SUNYI, ROMANTIS, ENAK, My Favorite Goodbye, HALO, Aku Dalam Novel.
Four of my novels have been translated into Malaysian and one into English: Bukan Perjaka (Not A Virgin).
In 2017 I got a grant from National Book Committee and Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture to do a writing residency in the U.K.
For me, writing means to escape and to relate in the same time.
I also ride motorcycle and I love funny stuffs.
