About me
Hi, I’m Mario. I live in Heidenheim an der Brenz, Germany, and I write and self-publish books.
My guides are about the things nobody really explains in everyday life: money, your first home, paperwork, planning. In my novels things can get fantastic, funny or romantic – from science fiction and comedy to love stories I publish under the pen name M. O. Polson.
I write in German, English and Croatian – my native language.
