The Dragons Besides Me
To be honest, there are quite a lot of dragons besides me during my life and somehow, the most inspirations comes from women. Suddenly, the question is, about which of them I wanna talk here. Of course, I could talk about my adoptive mum, since she created a lot of me, but I have my doubts that anyone wants to read a horror story at the international women day. I also could have talked about my biological mum, since my strength is coming from her. But even that seems wrong to me.

A Deadly Sin called Pride
Even though I am not a Christian, I had to learn about the `Seven Deadly Sins´ during my childhood. And Pride is one of them. During the last years, I had many conversations about those deadly sins and their importance for our lives. Although I am nowhere close to agree to the bible and what religion does to humankind, we should avoid committing those deadly sins. Our lives would be more healthy in all directions.

True Fiction
When I was a kid, scribbling stories in the margins of old notebooks, my parents would look at me with a mix of amusement and concern. "You haven’t lived enough," they'd say, "to write anything that matters." A little part of me believed them. I mean, what did I know about life beyond the confines of our quiet neighborhood and the occasional summer trip? But the larger, stubborn part of me knew better. Experience wasn’t my only tool—I had a wild imagination, a hunger for knowledge, and endless curiosity. I’d soak up everything around me and spin it into something bigger.

My aspirations for Vocal
New Year’s resolutions? Not really my thing. But I’ve got some exciting stuff on my bucket list for 2024, and the biggest goal? Changing my name. I really hope my old fanbase sticks with me, but honestly, the past decade has been rough. I’ve dealt with terrible advice and retreated into my own little bubble, and I fear I might’ve lost a big chunk of my loyal followers along the way.

Up, Close and Personal
It has been a while since I felt the need to give an interview. I always knew, that is something that comes with the job. However, I never liked it that much. One of the reasons for that is, that I always wanted the story to be in the spotlight and every interview puts the writer first and the story second. I don’t think, it is important who I am when it comes to the stories I write.

Fear and its reality
For years, people kept poking at me, speculating about my sexuality, and cracking cruel jokes. So, when I finally admitted I was engaged to another guy, it felt like I’d thrown a match into a gasoline-soaked room. The laughter faded fast, and fear stepped in, driving a wedge between me and my family. Suddenly, my private life was up for grabs, and I faced homophobia like I’d never experienced before, even from folks who’d promised they’d be cool with it.
