About Us

A ‘T’ on its own doesn’t seem too dangerous, but add another one and you’ll get an explosive chemical reaction. Yes, like TNT we make a noise, and that’s exactly the kind of thing we love to do! You see, we’re a strange international duo that doesn’t care much for good manners. We prefer our Ukrainian and Australian creative sensibilities to clash in a big way, to make big words and big bangs, and we love people to watch!

So, let us introduce ourselves properly. While it’s true we’re shameless exhibitionists of the literary kind, we also like to think there’s a bit more to us than that. Yes, we’re great lovers of kittens, sushi, and orderly queues too! Read on to find out more biographical (but not biodegradable) nuggets of awesomeness like that!

TETIANA ALEKSINA
(aka Unbolt)

Hmmm… What do you want to know about me? My bio? OK!

My bio is laid inside my writings… or is lied. I’m not too sure. Yes, guys, English isn’t my native language, but I have the impudence to write in English anyway.

So, I’m an amateur writer. Surrealism, absurdism, horror, fantasy and poems. You’re welcome! I’m ready for your reprimands and devastating criticism. Let’s go! Fire!

Um… yep. Last but not least, I also use foul language. You may occasionally stumble over something that looks like ‘fuck’, so be careful and watch your step!

Being a true introvert, Tati hates correspondence, but you can take your chances here: tati@unbolt.me

TONY SINGLE
(aka The Janitor)

I’m pretty sure I sprang from a womb then got all growed up and big. And then I started writing and drawing things. The end.

Oh. You want more? Hm. Then why not take a look around and marvel at the sophisticated wordplay on offer? (And maybe read my stuff too.)

Tati lets me stay as long as I keep the plants fed and the rats out of the cellar. So far negotiations with the rats are going fine. (Just gotta wait for them to come back and untie me.) I’m staying away from the plants though. (They may be carnivorous.)

Is that enough detail now?

Tony enjoys correspondence, so anyone who wishes to contact him can happily do so here: tony@unbolt.me

Or you can contact us both here: admin@unbolt.me

What? Are you still here? Seriously, you need to go and explore Unbolt Me right now. Why? Because it’s simply too brilliant to ignore! Oh, and please keep one thing in mind above all else…

Enjoy reading!

  8. More on ESL writers: my good Friend Sofi Stambo, a Bulgarian who came here in the mid 90s has written short stories that have appear in The Chicago Review, Guernica Magazine, Kenyon Review Online among other places, and won her a sabbatical in Lisbon, Portugal. Twice now I think. A week to do nothing but hang out with other creative types, and write.
