Elisabeth Steinkellner

Elisabeth Steinkellner wuchs im südlichen Niederösterreich auf. Lange Zeit wünschte sie sich nichts sehnlicher, als Zirkusartistin zu werden. Als sie zwölf war und ihre Eltern immer noch keine Anstalten machten, sie in einer Kompanie unterzubringen, änderte sie ihre Pläne und wollte fortan Schriftstellerin werden. Oder Meeresbiologin. Oder Schaufensterdekorateurin. Nach dem Abitur kam es anders: Sie absolvierte eine Ausbildung zur Sozialpädagogin und ein Studium der Kultur- und Sozialanthropologie in Wien. Nebenbei entdeckte sie die Faszination des Zirkus von Neuem, schwamm in verschiedenen Meeren und dekorierte statt Schaufenstern ihre häufig wechselnden Wohnungen. Nur die Lust am Schreiben will sich in nichts anderes verwandeln lassen und
