Vanessa Silver lives and works as a journalist in a large city in southern Germany. She discovered her love of writing as a teenager and has written numerous poems and short stories. The genre of dark romance has a special meaning for her, from her memories of private relationships with dominant partners. Her regular research into the world of red light and prostitution makes her first long novel, centered around the heroine Anja Faber, seem particularly authentic. Without being a feminist, she makes sure that her female title characters are strong women. Silver studied law and marketing and works as a presenter for a radio station.
