Gunnar Schwarz

I couldn’t have done it any other way. Born in the late seventies into a family of writers, my path to becoming an author was, in a sense, already set.

Inspired by my parents and sisters, I started writing short stories as a teenager and developed a remarkably versatile writing style. The genre where I feel most at home is the thriller. The desire to create a tangible sense of suspense with my own words drives me to work on my stories every day.

When I leave my desk, it’s usually for long walks with my dog. The quiet of rural northern Germany inspires me and gives me space for new ideas. I enjoy the peace and seclusion. And although I’m neither shy nor unattractive, I’ve decided to keep my face hidden—for now.
