Wolfgang Hohlbein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wolfgang Hohlbein (born August 11, 1953 in Weimar) is a German writer of fantasy and horror fiction who was born in Weimar, Thuringia and today lives near Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia. His wife, Heike, is also a writer and often works with her husband. He is quoted saying it is she who brings the "fairytale-magic" to his works.
Writing short stories since age 15, Hohlbein was first recognized as an author after sending in a manuscript he and his wife had written at a fantasy and science fiction writing contest in 1982. They won and their book, Märchenmond (English title: "Magic Moon"), was published by Ueberreuter Publishing, soon becoming a bestseller and winning several awards. It is one of their greatest successes till today.
Hohlbein is the best known and most productive German writer of fantasy. Many of his more than 200 books are translated and published in all major European countries except Great Britain as well as in eastern countries like Hungary and Korea. Yet for many years none of his works had been translated into English, not even the eight Indiana Jones novels he wrote. In 2006, Magic Moon is to be translated into English and published in the United States.
He says that Hagen von Tronje, his adaptation of the germanic legend, is his favorite among his own novels.
