I am nearly thirty, mother of three and work as a family helper with system therapy methods for a small, fine company in Berlin.

I grew up in the East of Germany, hence, I still appreciate bananas (literally and symbolically) and speak Russian. I have studied Pedagogy, Sociology and Psychology.

The Potterverse fascinates me for many reasons. The main one... it is my secret escape from a rather harsh reality.

As I wake at stupid o'clock every morning, I have time to write, too. The topics are usually dark and involve abuse, violence, rape and severe psychological problems.

I listen to a lot of music, mostly classical. A long time ago, I have applied to study Church Music (without being religious), but I wasn't accepted. Oh well.

My favourite authors here are: Bellegeste, Cecelle, ApollinaV, FoolishWishmaker, Malora, owlsaway, WatchersGoddess, Seraphin1977 and ObsidianEmbrace.

In general I like to read Fyodor Dostoevski, Nikolai Gogol, Anton Chekhov and Mikhael Sholokhov. The Russians just write the best stories in my opinion. Full of melancholy and sadness and alcoholism and poverty. Real and raw and awesome.

I smoke, drink and work too much.
