Thank you for your question. I write my books in English and some in German. Some of them are being translated into other languages. The first book of the Magora series has been translated into Mandarin(traditional), German, and Spanish. "The Chocolate Clouds" was written in English and German and laster translated into Dutch, Italian, and Norwegian. A Japanese, Portuguese, and Danish version is in the making.

The MAGORA series was inspired by my artwork. When working on a painting for many hours you start wondering what it would be like if the painting came alive. And this is what the book series is about: A painting that becomes a portal into a world of art and magic.

I studied art and illustrations in California. As part of my studies I took a children's book class where I had to illustrate a picture book. During this process my instructor discovered that I had a talent for writing as well. And so I started writing my first picture book.

Take classes, work with professional editors and learn the basics before publishing anything.

You can work whenever you feel like rather than working at a specific time set by an employer.

I usually don't have writer's block but if I am lacking ideas I usually travel or try to see new things.

Since the entire MAGORA series has been completed and I am releasing more books as time passes, I am now working on a Young Adult book that takes places in Alaska. It is a Magic Realism story about old languages.
