I studied Medieval History, Art History, Romance literature and language and a little bit Catholic Theology in Germany. My prime research project was the Order of the Knights Templar, and so I wrote my thesis about the proceedings against the Order and finished the first stage of my studies in 1996.I graduated in 2000 about the cult of city-saints in Southern France and their political implications and published my findings finally in 2002.I live in Hamburg since 2003, together with my husband and my cat "Mr. Spock". Here I work as supervisor of the media center at the Institute of Art History and as IT supporter. In my spare time I continue my research in the history of the Templars and other subjects.I'm writing fiction since I'm 12 years old, and so far I've published two historical novels in German and - latest one - a Romance in English. I'm about to explore other genres as well. At the moment, I'm working on a terrorist-thriller.When I don't write, I love to draw and photoshop.
