Sonja Kindler, born in Recklinghausen, has lived on the edge of the southern Black Forest in the immediate vicinity of the Swiss border since she was a child. She has always been fascinated by books. Hardly any genre was safe from her. She read what fell into her hands. But over time, she developed a preference for suspense entertainment. In 2008 she dared to take the step of publishing her own detective novel in addition to her job as a materials tester. In the years that followed, further books and participation in an anthology followed. And she has retained this joy of writing to this day.
