Even as a child, I was a dreamer who experienced great adventures with his toy figures and imagined entire worlds. At school, I discovered a love of reading, and from that moment on, books had me spellbound. I devoured stories that sparked my imagination, stories about faraway lands, friendship, and great adventures. What began with Michael Ende, Karl May, and Robert Louis Stevenson later led me to the great masters of epic storytelling: J.R.R. Tolkien, Rebecca Gablé, Ken Follett, and George R.R. Martin.
I carried the idea of writing a book myself around with me for a long time, until it finally became reality in 2024. My own world emerged from initial sketches and ideas, and with it my first work: “Arrandur – Die Schattenarmee” (Arrandur – The Shadow Army), which was published in January 2025. The second book, “Arrandur – Das Erbe der Könige” (Arrandur – The Legacy of Kings), followed in the same year. From then on, I knew that writing had found me and would never let me go.
In the same year, I fulfilled a long-cherished wish with “Chronicles of a Doomed Man”: the humorous start to a historically inspired series set in medieval England. It was also my first foray into a new genre.
Nowadays, hardly a day goes by when I'm not writing my books or thinking about the next chapters. The year 2026 is all about my two ongoing series, and yet my head is already buzzing with ideas for new worlds and stories. I can't wait to take my readers on these journeys.
