About Me
I've been a storyteller all my life—much to the dismay of my parents, who called it 'lying'. My adventures across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Canada have infused my writing with a rich tapestry of experiences and impressions. When my friends grew weary of my endless tales, I knew it was time to put them on paper.
I grew up in a little town in Germany, the kind of town nobody leaves because no one can see that far. I don’t have many hobbies beyond digital art, reading and making stuff up. I’ve spent my life reading books, analyzing and writing them by day and night. I love sitting in my sun room, looking out over the lake Ontario, reading, wondering how I would have written that story.
I like beer. Bavarian beer you’ve likely never heard of.
I also like jumping out of perfectly good airplanes - I usually bring a parachute.
My Writing Journey
My literary career began with romance novels, culminating in the Soundmaster Romance Series—Romance novels with a Country Music Theme.
Last count I had written over ten of them. I am working on a list of excerpts for you to read from the first three stories in the series, "Guitars & Cadillacs", "Long Way Home", & "This Time". I am hoping to add a full list of excerpts soon. They were all written during 2000 - 2005 and are a great and entertaining read.

As my interests evolved, so did my writing. I transitioned to adventure and crime stories, drawing inspiration from the eccentric characters I encountered while working with startup companies. This shift led to works like "Shadow Dancer" and my most recent series:
The Cannabis Preacher
This intriguing tale, which has grown to four "Sermons," offers a fascinating look at the rise and fall of a medical marijuana manufacturer.
Joyce A.I.
A chilling exploration of cybersecurity and personal data protection, this story delves into the terrifying potential of the information we carry in our pockets.
Ghost Mountain Gold
This financial thriller follows a young geology student who inherits an Indonesian gold mine. With friends and a renowned geologist, they use a bitcoin token to develop the mine, leading to a rollercoaster of discovery, investment, and betrayal.
The Magical Papillon Series
My latest venture into the world of cozy mysteries, this series combines intrigue with a touch of magic. The first book, "Whispers in the Attic," is not only available in print but also as an audiobook, which I had the pleasure of narrating and producing together with my brother - who happens to be an expert audio engineer.

I'm always exploring new genres and pushing my boundaries as a writer. Whether it's romance, thrillers, or cozy mysteries, my goal remains the same: to captivate readers with compelling stories and unforgettable characters.
