Ntinos Petrakis

Dinos Petrakis was born in 1970 in Athens, where he studied business organization and management for one year at the Piraeus University of Applied Sciences and further at the University of Piraeus. Since 1998, he has been living in Rethymno. There, after working for a few years, he realized that he would not pursue a career in business organization and management. In 2004, he released a poetry collection titled "From Kerpini to Taiwan" with two friends. Ten years later, he published his first novella, titled "Summer Solstice." Both of these books were self-published. In 2015, his short story "A New Home" was selected for the collective edition "Put Yourself in My Place" (published by Taxideftis) in the nationwide short story competition with the theme of solidarity.
