Michael Schild

Author Biography: Michael Schild

The Many Faces of Suspense – A Vision for the Extraordinary.

Michael Schild is an author who defies simple categorization. With a passion for complex characters and atmospheric settings, he transports his readers into worlds that are as fascinating as they are profound.

His literary journey began with the gripping stories surrounding Kiara, whose adventures captivated readers and found their full expression in several special editions and the sequel Kiara 2. With the Athena series, Schild proved his talent for dense thriller plots, which were consistently and compellingly continued in Athena 2.

Schild also masters the art of the regional crime novel. In SOKO COLD CASE Bergisch Land, he dives deep into investigative work, combining authentic criminology with the striking atmosphere of his German homeland. These are stories about the shadows of the past that never quite fade away.

His latest work, TRUMP: Power. Delusion. Ruin., showcases his ability to tackle highly relevant political and psychological themes, offering a clinical and investigative look at one of the most polarizing figures of our time.

A deliberate contrast to his suspenseful works is his love for nature and detail. With projects like his Animal Calendars, he shows another facet of his creativity—an eye for the quiet, beautiful moments and a fascination for our animal companions.

Whether exploring the depths of the human psyche in his thrillers or solving the unsolved mysteries of the past in his crime novels: Michael Schild always writes with passion and the aim of not just entertaining his readers, but pulling them right into the heart of the action.
