A concert violinist by training, he began writing to explore his personal experiences with the paranormal-experiences beyond scientific explanation. According to his family, his ability to dream about the future was inherited from his mother. One of his inexplicable childhood dreams was that he would live in the United States. That dream cam true: he now resides in Virginia. When he is not playing violin with the Richmond Symphony, Mr. Prymak can be found writing, tending to his various business ventures or sharing the gift of his playing at his book signings. Otherwise he spends time with his two children, whom he believes also have inherited paranormal abilities.
His first novel, Forbidden Dreams, not only draws heavily on Mr. Prymak’s paranormal experiences, but also on his life as a symphony musician in Russia and the United States. Although the characters in his love story are loosely based on people he has known, the plot and the characters in it are the fruits of Mr. Prymak’s fertile imagination-or, if not, they are perhaps a premonition of events yet to happen.view less
