Now you gotta love that dragon.
Hi, Antje. Welcome to my blog. Please tell us about yourself and how you became a writer.
I always loved to read and loose myself in a good story. As a child, I read any adventure story I could get my hands on. In university, I started to write a few German short stories, but I never took my writing seriously until I went to the Banff Centre of the Arts in 2007. It was an amazing course, which opened my eyes to how hard writing a book would be and how much harder to publish it.
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Lots of things, but mainly a dance and a sea captain on a cruise ship. ;^)
If we peeked inside your closet, what would we see?
Orderly chaos. I believe I have a system, but to others it might not look like that.
Tell us your favorites:
Movie Finding Neverland
Actor David Tennant
Book Too many to list
Singer or Group Herbert Groenemayer
Coffee or tea?
Both. I like English tea (with milk) in the morning to wake me up and a strong coffee in the afternoon (ideally with a piece of cake)
Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter?
I am a fall person. I love the brisk clear air and the soft light an autumn day. It’s the best time to hike and see the colours change, smell the damp earth and listen to the wind wrestle with the trees.
If you could choose to live in another time, would you prefer the past or the future?
I’d love to timetravel like Doctor Who in all directions of time, but with a preference to the future.
Are you working on any new books now? Tell us about them.
I have a couple of projects on the go at the moment. Mainly I’m working on the second part of the Darinel Dragonhunter adventures. Darinel and his dragon have to leave Princess Tuskja and her kingdom in order to find a cure.
In addition to the second book, I am working on a series of chapterbooks for Cross-Country Ski and Mystery fans. These books are aimed at younger readers like early beginners.

Great interview! And OMG I looove David Tennant - can't wait for 11/23/13!
ReplyDeleteAntje is a delight to know. Thanks for stopping by Heather.
ReplyDeleteI need tea and coffee every day too, but I'm the opposite. I need coffee first thing (black) and tea in the afternoon. I like green tea with jasmine, passionfruit, and orange. Yum.
ReplyDeleteNice getting to know you, Antje.
Yeah, I need my coffee to wake up. Tea the rest of the day. Thanks for stopping by, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteHa! Aspiring to be a sea captain sounds very exciting. The idea of a series for kids having to do with cross-country skiing is very original too.
ReplyDeleteNice interview, sounds like a fun book!
ReplyDeleteYour cover is wonderful - if I were a tween, I'd snap that up in a second! I'm a fall lover, too. Nice temperatures and pretty foliage. Wishing you huge success with your book! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat interview to you both. And I still love that cover.
ReplyDeleteI bet kids would love a series like that, Catherine.
ReplyDeleteIt is a delightful story, Lynn. I highly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Lexa. There's just something about a dragon.
ReplyDeleteSo do I, Beth. It sure makes a person, at least this person, want to learn more about the characters.
