Author
Boris Simic is an American author, born in Sarajevo, Bosnia, in the mid-eighties to a family of architects and engineers. As many had to, Boris, his older brother, and his mom fled the violent wars in the Balkans during the early 90’s. At seven, Boris and his family found refuge in Germany, where they lived for two years.
Once the family reunited with his father, Boris’ family moved to Louisville, Kentucky, USA, to start a new life in the land of opportunity. Boris’s parents began an architectural and construction business where Boris became skilled in the art of woodworking and construction.
After high school, Boris moved north to Chicago and earned a degree in Business and Marketing from DePaul University. After graduating, Boris moved back to Louisville and continued growing the family business while reawakening his lifelong passion for writing.
Beaverton, however, is the first piece of work to get published.
