Crime novels "Russian Girl" and "Phasmida" - Karin Holz
- Written by Portal Editor
Karin Holz was born in Regensburg and has deep roots in the old cathedral city. At school I was already a permanent member of the theater and singing group at the age of 10.
Later I performed dialect at events, birthday and Christmas parties.
Finally, I dared to take the step to something bigger and in 2004 I published my first crime novel "Russian Girl", which tells the story of child prostitution in the Czech Republic.
The detective novel “Phasmida”, dialect stories, poems on Zen meditation, stories, anthologies, audio books and texts for the Buddhist magazine Intersein followed
In the spring of 2015 my short thriller "The Last Stitch" from the Regensburg Requiem will be published by Dover Publications, Inc. Mineola NY. The title "German Stories of Crime and Evil from the 18th Century to the Present", translated by Dr. M.Charlotte Wolf.
Three years ago I founded with Dr. Marita Panzer the Regensburger Literaturbrettl. Every 4th Wednesday of the month, an author from Bavaria is a guest on our reading stage.
I love Bavaria, the Bavarian Forest, nature and the people.
I live according to the principle of mindfulness without mainstream and consumerism. Every now and then I break out of everyday life and spend my time in the monastery. My elixir of life is the daily mindfulness meditation according to Thich Nhat Hanh
I am a member of the East Bavarian Writers' Association and the Association for the Promotion of the Bavarian Language.
