مصنف کے بارے میں
Son of Croatian immigrants, who immigrated to Australia in 1962, Mate Antolos was born in 1971 in Melbourne, Australia. Mate (pronounced ‘Mateh’) later throughout his life was known to his Australian peers as ‘Michael’ or ‘Mike.’ Educated in the Catholic School system, he later graduated in 1988 and went to Deakin University (Burwood) and completed a Bachelor of Business in Management, sub-majoring in English in 1993. After his tertiary education was complete, Mate found himself working in Bendigo in the textile industry in a family business, and a few later years was encouraged to go to the University of Huddersfield where he completed a Bachelor of Engineering in Textile Studies in 1997. Once he completed his studies, he undertook work experience in England and Northern Ireland and then returned to Australia to join the family business. Later when the business was sold in 2002, he tried his hand at Textile recycling and a small transport business. When his father passed, he became his mother’s sole carer, and that is where writing found him, and he self-published his first set of short stories on Amazon Kindle KDP under the pseudonym Mate Solotna. After the passing of his mother in 2023, he began a novel, The Uneasy Silence, to help him mourn the loss of his mum, and in turn to document the changing face of the Mornington Peninsula. Currently, he is writing his third novel, the third book in the Muravic series, called The Child Soldiers of Melbourne.
