I love two things: writing and travelling. That's how I ended up in Istanbul. Originally I'm German, but I've also lived in Ireland and Denmark. Mostly I'm writing in German as it's the easiest being my mother tongue, but from time to time I also write in English. Other languages are rather seldom, despite the fact that I speak ten languages.
Also I write a blog that contains non-fictional texts about Istanbul, and my life, but it's only in German.

Nowadays I live together with my black tomcat "Bodrum" in my favourite city Istanbul.

My favourite books and writers are:
- Ulrich Plenzdorf: "Legende vom Glück ohne Ende" (Legend of the luck without any ending)
- Hans Fallada: "Kleiner Mann - was nun?" ("Little man, what now?")
- Buket Uzuner: "Istanbullu"
- Orhan Pamuk
- Sophie Kinsella: "Shopaholic"
- Marian Keyes
- Enid Blyton
- Philip Pullman: "His dark materials"
- J. R. R. Tolkien: "Herr der Ringe" ("The Lord of the Rings")
- J. K. Rowling: "Harry Potter"

Hi!
My name is@RobThier and together with a friend I'm running the Translingua translation project on Wattpad. We started out with a list of multi-lingual people on wattpad willing to do translation work, but now we are setting up  a platform for cooperative translation. We are allways on the lookout for multi-lingual people willing to contribute. Would you be interested?

Kind Regards

Ich finde deinen Schreibstil super, nur der zweite Teil der Geschichte vergeht mir zu schnell. Da hätte ich gern noch viel mehr Details gelesen.

@Dreaming_Girl Dankeschön! Ja, ich arbeite nicht gern mit Reimen, das kling meist zu gekünstelt bei mir.
