Author bio

As a German author who delights in writing across genres, with a passion for gripping narratives, I've published a fantasy novel and a gothic thriller. With over a decade crafting fictional 'True Stories', short crime fiction and romance novellas for magazines, I love to keep readers hooked. My mysteries blend fact and fiction seamlessly. While my preference for short chapters draws criticism, they're my favorite tool for creating perfect cliffhangers. Daily writing fuels my quest to pack maximum punch into minimum words, bringing stories to life, page by addictive page. My goal is to write page-turning, edge-of-seat mysteries that captivate any reader.
