Zsolt's first book in 1992 spawned a long writing career as the editor and publisher of computer technology guides which ended with the sale of his publication StorageSearchdotcom in 2018, and retirement. Still writing, but now readable stuff, in 2023 he published 4 books for children which were inspired by the rural countryside of Hampshire and Sussex where he lived while doing all that jargon filled computer writing for the US and China markets. The kids books range from an illustrated bedtime story to full length novels and one of them - Jamie and the Tree Troll: a legend of the South Downs in Sussex - has crossed over genres from kidlit to folklore. Zsolt, now a member of the Alliance of Independent Authors, lives in the scattered rural village of East Chiltington by the South Downs in East Sussex, in England. In 2026, he will publish his debut novel for adults - an 800 page dystopian adventure called - the Last Book. (Though it will not be the last in fact.)

There aren't no such things as tree trolls! - said Jamie (7) when his uncle (that's me) said it was tree trolls who'd been stealing food from their backpacks whenever they went for picnics in the ancient woodland surrounding their cold house in Underhill Lane, perched part way up the North slope of the South Downs and a mere foggy walk betwixt Ditchling Beacon and the Jack and Jill windmills in Sussex. Well, we can all be wrong sometimes. In this tale you will learn what's really beneath the hill in Underhill Lane, some Saxon history concerning a long forgotten battle on Brighton beach, a myth of hidden gold and some real magic too.
