where the writers are

Influences

I've always been fascinated with the art of storytelling. Growing up in a small German town, I wasn't allowed to watch much TV, and so it was books that opened other worlds to me. But it wasn't just reading that gave me pleasure, writing did, too. My writing career began rather late in life, after successful careers as a foreign language teacher and a health coach. Although I have no favorite authors, I enjoy stories that make every sentence count. I'm an impatient reader and writer, and nothing makes me sigh more than words that merely fill pages. I love drama, epic stories, and brilliantly crafted fantasy.
