Paul Martinus Bastiaans

A storyteller born amid the changing seasons and the tree-lined streets of West Springfield, Massachusetts. The tales of his Indonesian parents' journeys whispered epics of hardship and perseverance from their war-torn youth. His parents' stories mingled with the flickering magic of 70s TV, the tales spun by Spielberg and Lucas, and the universe of Marvel's Lee. These influences formed the fertile garden of his mind.

In the woods of Mittineague, bonfires lit the misadventures of a small-town teenager and his lifelong friends, Puck and Tim. In the late 80s, the author followed his friend Puck to Venice Beach, California. From Brandelli's Brig and Zephyr Antiques to the crazed cacophony of Hollywood Boulevard, this new landscape fed the author's blossoming imagination. All the while, stories, like seeds sprinkled onto the soil, were taking root in the writer's mind.

The author’s consciousness wandered in classrooms, but in the school of Life, he was an attentive and voracious student. Each twist and turn, each deep stab of heartbreak or magic first kiss, became the raw material nurturing the stories growing within.

In 2000, the wanderer returned to the forests of his youth, trading the wilds of Los Angeles for the chaotic world of computer systems administration. The stories continued to grow, demanding not just tending but sculpting. With each keystroke, he pruned vines of unfocused ideas, bringing forth narratives that bloom in the sunshine of the reader's gaze. 

The author's voice, an aria of reflection tinged with dark humor's mischievous lilt, sings tales of characters and events born from divine inspiration and the songbook of his own life. They are ballads of shadows and light, grit and laughter, of finding the extraordinary woven into the fabric of everyday lives. These are stories where whispers from the beyond leave you gazing into the infinite you, adventures not just in galaxies far, far away but in the beating heart of every human story waiting to be told.
