From Hamburg/Berlin to the Highlands

Many moons ago, I was born in Hamburg (Germany). After a brief stint in Berlin and losing way too many loved ones, I packed my things and did what anyone would have done in my place: I moved to Scotland.

By day, I'm a translator for HarperCollins Germany, a journalist, and a Scottish historian. By night I write contemporary romance set in the most beautiful country in the world.

I studied Scottish History plus a bit of Scottish and English Literature at the University of Glasgow, so every castle, glen, and village in my books is based on my authentic experience and the real thing – just with a lot more kissing.

Every day, I wish the world was a much better place. Until it is, my books give you the escapism you need. I know I do.

My heroines are fierce, funny, and delightfully flawed. My heroes are grumpy, swoony, emotionally available – and always Scottish.

Things you might not know about me

01

I live and write in Glasgow, powered by strong coffee and an alarming number of pastries.

02

I’m a divorcée, cancer survivor, and former world-traveller. I’ve been around, I’ve seen things. And I’m still here.

03

When I'm not writing, you'll find me exploring Scotland – castles, cottages, cemeteries – and bakeries …

04

I once made David Hasselhoff sing. Yes, that actually happened. Ask me in my newsletter.
