Janina Carol (J.C.) Seal

I come from the beautiful city of Freiburg, at the foot of the Black Forest. I live in a small townhouse with my loving husband, my wonderful teenage daughter and my twenty year old tomcat. To earn a living, I work part-time as a technical assistant in cancer research. I didn't start writing until October 2018 but have always loved reading.

Perhaps you are wondering why someone from Germany writes in English? I still remember the first English book I ever read. When I was in the US as an exchange student at sixteen, I picked a random book in a public library and came across “Dragonsong” by Anne McCaffrey. It was the beginning of my passion for stories that go beyond the boundaries of the mortal world, and also the beginning of my love for a language so much more expressive than my own.

When I finally took the step from reader to author, the choice of language was not an issue.

Accompany me into my world of fantasy, adventure and mystery, paranormal and romance.

When I'm not writing or reading, I like to play computer games or watch crime series on television. I'm also on the parents' council of my daughter's school and a member of the garden club around the corner.
