Just like me I’m sure you’re asking lots of ‘wh’ questions.

Born in 1958 he is a Romanian science fiction author and journalist but I won’t hold that last bit against him.

Romanian has a burgeoning science fiction community. Whenever I have an awkward letter to fill I end up finding a Romanian author and my googling leaves me with good feelings and a reminder of what it must have been like in the early days of pulp fiction. One thing I did find in my searching was an Australian blogger who visited the Romanian Book Fair in Bucharest two years ago and plans to visit this year’s book fair.

Ungureanu was also the founding member and first president of the Romanian Society for Science Fiction and Fantasy which gives me great heart. He won a national award in 1981 and a European award in 1992 and has written more than 100 stories and sketches in collective volumes. He seems like such an amazing person and I’d be honoured to meet him.

Struggled to find anything published by Ungureanu translated into English, I’m not say it’s not there just that I haven’t managed to find it. I’m sure the day will come, though.
