Arthur Antonopoulos was born in Melbourne, Australia. He studied political science at Monash University, where he graduated with honors, specializing in Literature. His master’s degree in Greek-Turkish relations was the occasion for him to visit Athens several times due to state scholarships, a fact that brought him in touch with his roots and cultivated his deep love for Greece. Since then he has worked as an English teacher for adults, while his innate love for communication was what led him on the path of writing his first novel entitled “Franchise of Secrets—Dark Athens”. Today he lives in Athens, and is completing his postgraduate studies in “Clinical Psychology” at the Hellenic American University. He continues writing, and presenting training seminars for business staff in Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication. He loves traveling and believes that every day is an opportunity to live a full life.
