About Me
---
I'm a German teen author who has been writing since her early childhood and decided to publish her first German novel in 2020, soon followed by an English novella. My favourite genres to write about used to be fantasy-themed (Rebel School and the White Lilies Trilogy), but since early 2021, I have switched to more realistic themes. My current WIPs have dystopian elements (FATE) and thriller/suspense elements (#projectHnS).
While writing, you will always find me listening to music, usually classic and hard rock, power metal and punk/pop punk.
Besides writing, I'm a huge fan of graphic design, cover design, art (both digital and traditional) and photography. My sense of humour is non-existant, meaning I find everything hilarious and I have thousands of inside jokes with my besties.
My birthday is June 19th, 2005.
I identify as asexual biromantic and I have a wonderful girlfriend who lives way too far away from me.---

I don't want to give away too much about this one yet - just that much - it's gonna be angsty. Fluffy. And very gay.
(And also in German. Sorry.)
Side note: The cover, too, is a placeholder.

FATE
---
The FATE duology is a series of books that you can't read in the correct order because there is none. Read AFTCBC first and you will drown in spoilers for ISCCHF; read ISCCHF first and you will drown in spoilers for AFTCBC. Fun, isn't it? :D Also, for real information besides the fact that AFTCBC has absolutely CHANGED my writing style, check here:
FATE!

White Lilies Trilogy
---
White Lilies was the reason I started writing in English! I started White Lilies Manor as a German novella that I planned to translate, but writing in English was so much more fun so I never stopped again lol. It's a Fantasy Thriller with slight horror elements - I mean, bloody rites are never entirely child-friendly, right? For a visit (and more details lol) at White Lilies click here:
White Lilies Trilogy!
They're all published!

Rebel School
---
Another of my German WIPs and also probably the first one that is to be taken seriously lol. You could call it a half-dystopia - it plays in the future and the people there have some problems - but I'd rather label it as urban fantasy probably. It's also just in German (for now).
Rebel School!
More Rebel School!
Oh my God there is another!

Sam and May
---
This was probably the first thing I seriously wrote. I also have a physical copy of the first one and plan to get them of the other five books too, but I also really want to edit all the cringe stuff out first lmao.
It was a basic humans-find-out-they're-vampires story but I like to believe I gave it some good twists, maybe. A few chapters of the first one are up on my Wattpad in English, too: here
Have fun. Maybe don't read it. Lol.
---
By the way, thought I'd put it here - on Wattpad, you can also find a collection of shitty short stories I wrote: here. Not sure if they are better or worse than the thing above, lol.
What I actually DO recommend is The Colours Of The Storm which is really gay and fluffy :D

The Magic L
---
My very first WIP! This was so fun to write as a 10-year-old and I still look back at it with pride, but obviously with the necessary distance and it was Not Good™. It was about kids who could change into a different world, where they were magical beings and had to challenge an evil Count who was also their maths teacher and their uncle. 10/10 i guess XD
