Andrea Kriksic

Andrea Kriksic

Born in 1987 in Zagreb, Croatia I had a simple upbringing. Product of a working-class family I lived with big dreams and not too many open options to follow the goal of becoming a professional writer. I always knew I wanted to be one. It was one thing that made my day, regardless of how complex the day was. Sadly my family saw little value in my scribbling and drawing, and in place of having a choice, I was made to choose the safe option. There was simply no room for dreams at the time. So, as most likely anyone I have ever met in Croatia – Economics it was. I have a total of 6 months of working experience in the field in my entire work career.

Currently, 35, mother of one beautiful girl, working general jobs to support my small family of partner and child. Chasing after what they told me was impossible and working on my dream to be a writer. Not just for me; but for my family.

There is not much to say about me; goth is a term I can use to describe my style for over 22 years. Into art, literature, books, SF cons, and cosplay. Considering I take no time off from working on this project, social media, and all other things connected with it – Going to SF conventions counts as both chance to show the world the story and relax from hard work. I would love to travel abroad and see cons out of Croatia. I will given time.

Actually, there is one thing…My character trait of stubborn nature to get things done, determination, and patience to get to where I wish to go. I love to learn and ever since I embarked on this journey of self-publishing chances are plenty.

Bobby Yaps || Musician, Composer, Educator

I am Bobby Yaps, a multi-instrumentalist, composer, dad, and licensed music educator from New York. A 20 year veteran of the New York music scene, I cut my teeth as a classically trained pianist from a young age, and then as a rock guitarist in several bands in the New York area. More recently I have shifted my focus to studio work, songwriting, and composing in all genres. This shift led me to the world of music NFTs, a world that allows for a connection like no other between creator and collector, artist and fan. I host the Music and Art Roundup X Space every Wednesday at 9:30pm ET. I firmly believe music has one of the best use cases for NFTs.
