Autorenporträt

A few years ago I started to write and publish short stories using a variety of pen names. In 2011, I wrote and published over a million words.

I write using over a dozen pen names and have published over 700 titles that represent over 1,500 short stories, novellas and plays.
My works cover 8 of the 10 categories of the Dewey Decimal system.

Recently I turned my hand to writing science fiction.
I love imagining what might be in the future, but it may not always be rosy so you tend not to see the hero saving the world on the last page on my stories. And I am fascinated by what one might find if we could travel back in time.

I write quickly, to tell a simple and entertaining story. I imagine we are sitting around the camp-fire in an era long gone. The story should be sharp and to the point so that it is memorable. I don't believe in filling 300 pages with mindless waffle.
I don't plan my stories - I put my fingers on the keyboard and let them tell the story - the ending often unfolds from my fingertips without even thinking what it might be.

If you want to travel through time, join me.
