I’m a German-based author living in Leipzig. I’m 39 years old, and I love stories. There is not much else I love in the world, but I love stories. I don’t care if it’s movies, comics, books, or a shadow play on the cave wall. I love stories; it’s my way to make sense of the world, to make sense in a world that doesn’t make sense to me. And like I said on the main side, it’s my way to tackle my depression and find some kind of purpose in my life, besides working in an office all day, selling my soul for a fixed salary. (It feels like that sometimes)

Why do I write in English, being a German author? Most of the media that I consume is English. My inner monologue is in English, maybe 30% of the time. So it’s really hard for me to write in German. I’m in the funny place where I often forget the German word and just remember the English one. And it is a challenge for me to write in another language. And most importantly, it’s a way to reach more people. I really hope my writing reaches people, or better, the right people. People who are moved by my writing and enjoy my stories.

It’s not a way to earn money for me. I sell my soul for that. It’s my way to earn my soul back, piece by piece. So on this side, you will find my writing free of charge and for you to enjoy.

I hope my writing; and to be fair, it is pretty dark at times, can be a light for you to enjoy and find some meaning.

Writing is my way to become a better human being and contribute something to humanity, something I can believe in. Even when it’s dark sometimes.

Special shoutout and thanks to my editor: Eva

She helps me a great deal with my style, mistakes I make in my writing, and the overall shape of my stories. Without her, it would be just a mess of words strung together. She is the filter that transforms my thoughts into a coherent story and shows me logical and grammatical errors. Every story I write goes first through her watchful eye. I’m a better writer because of it. So when you read my stuff, don’t just think of me, but of my editor too.
