Corina Bomann
Corina Bomann, 1974 in Parchim geboren, entdeckte die Welt der Bücher schon recht früh für sich. Als Kind verzierte sie die Exemplare der heimischen Bibliothek mit eigenen "Wachsstift-Illustrationen", später, als sie das Schreiben erlernt hatte, begann sie, eigene kleine Geschichten zu verfassen. Langeweile in Schule und Bus füllte sie mit viel Fantasie aus, sodass aus kleinen Geschichten bald ganze Romane wurden, die zunächst mehrere Kladdehefte füllten. Die Hefte und eine alte Schreibmaschine wichen nach und nach dem Computer; ihre Geschichten entstiegen den Schubladen und fanden ihre Heimat bei Verlagen. Noch heute lebt Corina Bomann in Mecklenburg und nutzt die traumhafte Ruhe und wunderbare Landschaft, um ihre Romane zu spinnen. In ihr
