Novel: Der Fall Zossner (German)
When Miriam learns that her brother Gregor has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital, she feels like she’s been hit over the head. Is he really suffering from paranoia or are the doctors mistaken?
Initially confused and overwhelmed, Miriam increasingly loses faith that the hospital stay will help Gregor. After all, there are many indications that her brother was right. In her search for the mysterious man who drove her brother mad, Miriam becomes more and more entangled in Gregor’s world until she can no longer trust anyone.
“Der Fall Zossner” is my debut novel, full of mystery and puzzles, that has readers question their own sanity the deeper they dive into it!

Serena Supergreen and the broken wing is a Serious Game intended for 12-16 year olds. It’s a classic point-&-click-adventure for which I wrote all the dialogs and was involved with the story development.

Unanncouned Novel (Novel):
My next novel is completed and only needs some more polishing. Since life keeps me busy, I probably won’t get around to that before October 2024, but it’s well worth the wait!
This time, I went a lot further back in history than in my previous novel, and carefully designed four intertwined plotlines that let you discover the era from different perspectives.
