Hi,
I'm Susanne Goga, a German author. I have published five books so far, two historical novels and three crime novels set in 1920s Berlin. As I am also working as a literary translator from English I am looking forward to meeting many English-speaking people who love to write.

All the best,

Susanne Smile

Welcome I lived two years in Butzbach and two in Wiesbaden - and once spoke and wrote fluent German. Now, I stumble through the weather...:-)

I wrote a novel, Arirang: the Bamboo Connection that has several chapters talking about life in Butzbach and Wiesbaden.

Hello DK,
nice to hear you've been living in Germany. I'm living in the west of Germany not far from Cologne.

Welcome, Susanne! It's nice to know there is now somebody newer than me. My experiences of Germany:

1. In 2002, five days in a coach with a bunch of rich tourists and a pushy guide who wanted us only to go where he got a commission. In Berlin, we went out one night and got into a student-and-journalist dominated pub on the Inter Den Linden, close to Humboldt University. That was the only joy we got from that trip, Dresden aside. We plan to go back there one day.

2. A week in Berlin and surrounds in 2007. We stayed on the Alexanderplatz and always planned to go further afield, bur somehow never did. My Facebook and Goodreads page image has me wearing a Humboldt University sweater.

3 In 2008, after the Baltic states, Belgium and the Netherlands, a cruise up the Rhine and down the Danube. Köln was one of our stops, but we never had long enough in any place, and there were all these pushy guides who wanted to drag us to places where they got commission. We learned to get the departure time and a map before we left the boat, and go discovering.

My German language is almost all nouns with a few adjectives related to wines (rot, weiss) and stuff like that, perhaps three verbs, but enough to have fun.

My next book identifies a number of German subversives who founded Australian science in the mid-19th century by taking a strong stand against the standard view that we all had to be good little well-behaved serfs of the British. Without our lovely Germans*, Australia would have taken longer to become a nation. I really need to get back to Germany.

My problem: I have drifted into writing more about Australia, and that means more travel here and less overseas. It's time to shift back to pure science with a European bias!

----------------------

* Gerard Krefft, Ludwig Leichhardt, Wilhelm von Blandowski and Baron Sir Ferdinand von Mueller, KCMG (he swung both ways), but not forgetting Friedrich Gerstäcker.
