Mechthild Gläser was born in Essen, in the summer of 1986, and has a degree in Politics, History and Economics. Today, she still lives and works in the Ruhr area of Germany, where she occasionally dances ballet incredibly badly, but only when nobody is looking. She loves to think up abstruse stories, and has started writing at an early age. She finds inspiration everywhere, at best when drinking a cup of
peppermint tea.
