His first book,
Azab Aga, was published in April 2004. Culum wrote the factually accurate history of his family in this book, not changing the names of characters and events. The book's events took place in the first half of the 20th century. The compilation of the stories to which he listened while in the region of
Alaçatı was the theme of his second book,
Alaçatili, which was published in June 2006. The book's events center around a lawyer of Greek origin from
New York City who seeks the roots of his family in Alaçatı, which was a Greek settlement for almost a century. Culum was inspired by the true stories of the Çeşme Peninsula when he authored his third novel
Kalenin Gölgesinde Çeşme, which became available to readers in April 2009. Culum has published his fourth novel
Yengec Disi in January 2018. He made his fifth book about the days ataturk spent in Çesme titled: Atatürk’ün Çeşme Günleri in 2024. ==References==
