Before embarking on a career in writing, Nenad Gajić's restless nature led him to try many things: for years, he toured as a musician (guitarist, lead singer, and song-writer of a band with which he released two albums), before trying his hand as a banker, manager, entrepreneur, computer equipment manufacturer, award-winning programmer, TV show director, and as an author of card and board games… He has visited Mount Athos and traveled Europe and the world from Moscow to Jerusalem in search of new knowledge. He graduated in Kragujevac, earned his masters in Belgrade, and received his doctorate in Novi Sad (Serbia). He has published, among other scientific articles, works on the renowned scientists Mihajlo Pupin and Milutin Milanković. He considers writing to be his true profession and way of life, and science his favorite hobby. He still keeps a packed suitcase beside his bed, to remain ready for new adventures.

NENAD GAJIĆ IN BOOKS
Blic, Culture, what I read: "Tale of Tales". I really liked this novel by Nenad Gajić, the author of "Slavic Mythology". Riddles, mysteries, fights and surprising twists are intertwined in it.
"Tale of Tales" is a book intended for adults, but it is not only for adults. Reading it, I felt like a child, in a mysterious world like the movie Labyrinth with David Bowie. In short – I love it.
"Tale of Tales - A Shadow in the Dark" is a very beautiful book. As I read it, I remembered my grandmother telling me fairy tales that no one was able to surpass. My grandmother is long gone, all that is left is the memory of her and the wonderful evenings by the stove and beautiful folk tales. And here, Nenad Gajić gifted me one such tale, after what seems like a thousand years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
"Slavic Mythology" is a fantastic book in story and picture. My whole family read it, and my 11-year-old son was especially delighted. He was presented with a lot of information about Slavic mythology in one place, and we adults also learned where many of our sayings and ancient customs come from.
"Tale of Tales - The Two Kings" is a long-awaited sequel to one of the best books I have read in the last few years.
