About the author

Painting and crafting were always a favourite pastimes of my children Anuschka and Timothy. So I came up with the idea to write stories and have them illustrated by my then 16-year-old daughter.

I started writing Christmas stories because the Christmas season was always very special for us.

The stories are all very gentle, but at the same time powerfully emotive. I write about friendship, communication, finding and acknowledging common values, mindfulness and acknowledging one's own mistakes.

The digital age has completely changed the way we communicate. Most children now prefer tablets or computers to the bound book and that's why we decided to publish our stories as e-books.

Our stories are available in German, English and soon also in Spanish.

Happy reading!
