I live in Iran. I am a university teacher, teaching technical English courses there. I am interested in art, and literature, writing and translation. In my free times I do write and translate stories, short stories, novels for adults and children. I have written, and translated a lot of stories both in my native language and also in English. I have books and stories published in local sites, blogs, newspapers and magazines, and in sites, and blogs abroad. I am not a poet, but sometimes when I am affected by something around, I try to test myself writing something in this form too, while I do announce again that I am not a poet, that's just a sort of practicing.
