Eine Autorin - Drei Pseudonyme
|
Do you speak English? Die beiden Krimiserien "Inspector Terry Mysteries" und "Falcon's Bend Mysteries" sind in den USA erschienen. Die Falcon's Bend Mysteries schreibe ich mit der erfolgreichen amerikanischen Autorin Karen Wiesner. Wir kennen uns nur per E-Mail, aber die Zusammenarbeit verläuft immer harmonisch. Karen arbeitet sehr strukturiert, dadurch habe ich viel von ihr gelernt. Damit unsere Namen beide aufs Cover passen, wurde meiner zu "Chris Spindler" verkürzt. |
