Biography

I’m from Germany and grew up in the Rhineland. Because I always loved the sun and the sea, I traveled for many years through Southern Europe. During this time I took on a variety of jobs in order to support myself and allow me a lifestyle that gave me plenty of free time. - Free time for my other passion: reading and writing.
“Sunshine, Sex & Easy Money” is my first published book. I wrote it in my native language German and it was translated into English in 2017.
Today I am married and live in Berlin. However, sun-hungry like I am, I continue to spend a large part of every year in Southern Europe enjoying the sunny climate.
Currently, I am working on my second book which once again covers in a light-hearted way the topic of Prostitution.
