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.
