I am a husband and father of two angels Lesra, my handsome boy, and Tirza, my little princess. I am a writer, yet I would like to echo Katherine Paterson, "A Christian first. I have a vocation as a writer; that is my calling. But a Christian first." I also dream of writing books in English. I have been translating some books (from English to Bahasa Indonesia), too.

I work at a SNOHO (small, nice office, home office) so I can have flexible work-hours. I have, on the average, six to eight hours in front of the computer every work day translating, writing, doing my stuffs, or updating my personal homepage (http://www.geocities.com/denmasmarto).

In eating, I love Javanese traditional foods (gudeg, buntil, brongkos, lodeh, sambal teri, etc.) and jajan pasar (traditional snacks, e.g.: serabi, mentho, tahu isi, kipo, emping mlinjo). Yummy!

tentu tahu, perubahan profil ini menjadi 'fan profile' tak lain gara-gara kenarsisan. Jadi, karena memang tak bisa diubah kembali ke profil biasa, biarlah ini jadi monumen kenarsisan saya. Selebihnya, saya lebih suka bersahabat dengan kalian semua.
