Patrick Schömann

​Patrick Schömann, born in 1980, lives with his partner Jill and their dog Luca near the Mosel River. Dogs have always been a part of his life, but he only came to writing through a detour he would never have chosen for himself.

​When his dog Luca was diagnosed with epilepsy, a notebook became his outlet. What began as a personal attempt to process the sleepless nights, the feeling of being overwhelmed, and the often absurd daily reality of the illness, gradually grew into his first book.

​Today, Patrick writes exactly as he experiences things: direct, honest, and without trying to sugarcoat the hard moments. Whether in personal accounts or other projects – his goal is to capture the stories that life writes when things don't go according to plan.
