Following her university studies in journalism and text science, Katja Gebbink (born in 1969) exchanged her literary ambitions for a domestic life. But her poetic blood is thicker than water. Within a short period she wrote a novel, a collection of poems and more than a hundred columns. During her turbulent search for the truth of life she gains impressions that she captures in a sensitive way and a velvety style. She goes her own way, has a sharp mind and keeps the attention of her readers from the first to the last sentence. Her sparkling writing style moves the reader, elicits a smile or hits mercilessly at the emotions.
