About me:

I'm a German writer and translator. My published work includes several short stories published in the US and Australia, most notably the Midnight Sentinel series about a pulp-type superhero. As "Ashe Hyams," I wrote a novel in the German Torn series (a fantasy/horror series about a time-traveling superhero), published by Bastei.

Another novel, Return of the Ravager, is now available.

My horror novel Jahrmarkt des Grauens was published in August 2007.

Among my comics work are the serial Yesterday's Heroes for Visual Assault Press, Cyborg Assault Hamsters for 430 Comics and Berserker: The Wild Hunt, which is now online as a webcomic. I have also made other stories available online. Scoop, can be read at Drunk Duck.
My current comics project is Made of Fail, which can be read for free on

As a translator for the languages German, English and Japanese, I work mostly in the field of manga and anime, on such diverse projects as, for example, (anime): Gundam Seed, GetBackers and Maison Ikkoku and (manga): Subaru, Magister Negi Magi and Spirit of Wonder.
