Das musste sich die damals 10-jährige Evelyne über ihre erste Geschichte anhören. Zum Glück wusste sie schon damals, dass das ein Haufen Hundekacke war. Und schrieb unbeirrt weiter.
Fast zwanzig Jahre und mindestens genau so viele Veröffentlichungen später ist Evelyne nach wie vor der Phantastik verfallen, und das mit genauso viel Leidenschaft wie damals. Dabei tobt sie sich gerne innerhalb des Genres aus und hat von Urban Fantasy über High Fantasy, Märchenadaptionen und Dystopien Bücher für fast jeden Geschmack geschrieben. Dabei darf es auch gerne mal bunt und queer sein. Eben wie im echten Leben auch. -
