Early History<\/h5>\n

I was born in 1967 on the Bergstra\u00dfe<\/a> and spent the following two and the last two decades in the Odenwald<\/a>; this will show up in this blog from time to time. Those ten years in between, I spent in Holland (to be more precise: Noordwijk, Zuid Holland<\/a>), working as a secretary, and in the Palatinate<\/a> (Germersheim), interrupted by study-related trips to Granada and Moscow (\u201ealmost to the space station\u201c, as our local newspaper wrote at the time).<\/p>\n

Languages<\/h5>\n

What do you study in Germersheim? Translation<\/a>. After I had acquired diplomas for English and Dutch via distance learning, I started with a nearly new and a totally new language \u2013 Russian and Spanish. Not even halfway through the first semester, my knowledge of Russian from school was used up, and I quickly demoted it to second language. With Spanish as major subject, I finished my degree and returned to the Odenwald.<\/p>\n

I started a more or less successful career translating non-fiction books<\/a> on leisure-related subjects, mainly from English and Dutch. Over time, video games were added to my portfolio, preferably in a fantasy setting, as well as board games. From time to time, a Russian text comes along to be translated. More recently, Spanish has become my main working language.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Music<\/h5>\n

In the late 1990s, I also took up another job: as I had some piano lessons as a child, I became an organist for the Protestant church in Lindenfels<\/a>. In order to put this on a more solid footing, I started to hang around music workshops and folk music events. Some of these will be mentioned in this blog.<\/p>\n

Finally, I spent another couple of years on distance learning to get a BA in History and an MA in Musicology. From the many intriguing bits of information I learned during these courses and those I dig up myself following on from there, I grow the ideas which I then turn into novels and short stories<\/a>.<\/p>\n
