Welcome to my website!

I am a foreign correspondent and novelist who lives near Vancouver, Canada. I was born and raised in Switzerland.

For eleven years I have been writing regularly about Canada for newspapers and other publications in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

I have published three books, among them two thrillers with the German publisher Bloomsbury Berlin Verlag:

Nutze deine Feinde (Use Your Enemies)

Unter dunklen Wassern (Under Dark Waters). This novel was translated into Dutch (Het Donkere Water, De Fontein 2008).

My first book “Nutze deine Feinde” is being translated into English by Amazon/Crossing. It will be published in April 2012.

I am working on a fourth book.

My latest book “Oh, wie schön ist Kanada!” (O how beautiful is Canada!) is in the stores now. (See Blog and Books)
