About the Author
After immigrating in 1977, he implemented one of his inventions (neural-cell) into a super-sensitive processor for detecting a faint signal from the heart at University of Louisville. In 1994, his family fell apart and his life endured drastic changes and writing has become almost a necessity. There were no friends to listen to his entire story. "The computer has become my real friend. I can write as much as I wish and it will never complain."
Although Shvartsman has written many scientific and technical works, only one book, Color of Truth, has been published. For four years, after a difficult divorce, he wrote the trilogy The Fool and Born Under the Dark Sun as the first book. Several more books are waiting to be published. Shvartsman manages a small high-tech company and manufactures products based on his inventions. He continues to paint, but mostly writes. He is currently working on Dirty Body can be wash off but not Dirtied Soul, which will be published during spring of 2008.
