Anna Mocikat
I was born in Warsaw, Poland, but have spent most of my life in Munich, Germany, where I attended film school to become a screenwriter.
After my professional education, I worked in the German film industry for several years, mostly as a scriptwriter, but I also produced and directed a few short films which were nominated for and won a couple of awards.
Being a huge fan of videogames since I can remember, I expanded my field of expertise and worked as a game writer in the German video game business for a while before I made my childhood dream come true by getting my first novel published.
I’ve been working as a novelist full-time ever since and there’s nothing I enjoy more than this job.
In 2016 I moved to the US and now live in South Carolina. Shadow City was my debut in English in 2019, and I’m excited about many more projects to come soon.
When not spending time in the worlds inside my head and writing about them, I enjoy walking my dogs, playing video games on my Xbox, reading, movies, listening to Gothic and Industrial music.
Yes, I’m a geek and proud of it
Behind Blue Eyes
Summary
They are the perfect hybrid between human and machine. They are the next step in the evolution of mankind. And when they come after you, nothing in the world will save you…
Welcome to the year 2095.
Society has overcome everything that made human life miserable. It has become perfect — so perfect that it needs killer cyborgs to hunt down anyone who disagrees with it.
Nephilim isn’t just any elite death squad member, she is the best. Genetically and cybernetically enhanced, she and others like her strike terror wherever they go. Knowing nothing besides this lifestyle, Nephilim believes that she’s part of a righteous cause.
But everything changes for her after a hostile EMP attack.
She suffers a severe system glitch. Disconnected from the grid, for the first time in her life, she begins doubting the system.
Shortly after the attack, she meets Jake, a 100% biological human, and she falls in love with him. Jake helps her discover that everything she had believed in was a lie.
But there is no walking away from the system. And soon, Nephilim finds herself hunted by members of her own death squad.
In an era of deception, who can she trust? And in this brave new world, is there a place for love between a human and a cyborg?
Behind Blue Eyes is a fast-paced, cinematic action story in a dystopian setting. It’s a modern-day version of 1984 – on steroids.
