Canada
I was born and raised in Germany. I'm a graduate of Goldsmiths College - University of London/UK, where I studied what I am passionate about - Creative and Life Writing & English Literature.
My goal is to create stories that are deep and meaningful.
In summer 2018, I self-published my novel HEART LIKE A HOLE on Amazon and various other online platforms in North America as well as Europe-wide. I'm determined to dedicate my time entirely to writing one day!
For more info, please visit the bio page on my blog.
Oh, my motivation is green tea and Rock.

- Paul Auster
