Bernhard Christoph Lichtinger

Bernhard Christoph Lichtinger was born into a family of doctors in Stuttgart (southern Germany) on July 21, 1961, the fifth of six sons. The author, family man, craftsman, autodidact, inventor and entrepreneur attended one kindergarten, 10 schools, countless countries and 2 East German prisons. Released to Baden-Württemberg after 341 days of miserable food (on Friday, November 13, 1987), Christoph taught himself computer-aided drawing. He first freelanced for the IBM chip factory and then for the sports car fanatic architect Bernd Frank. After he managed to finance his parents' property, Christoph founded his own residential construction company in 1995, which was hit hard by the global financial crisis 13 years later (2008), whereupon he lost everything except the old villa that belonged to him and his second great love Dorothee. After his divorce, Christoph found his first great love Suzanne on the internet and flew to New Zealand to meet her in August 2015. And yes, it is true love! Six months later, Christoph has a little more time again and begins to write down his story ...

After nine years in New Zealand, the last six of which Christoph spent living and working in his camper van, he closes his book again and flies from Auckland to Asia with his dog Rosie in November 2024, since that comes before Europe. Somewhere there, he wants to write the first chapter of his serialised novel, cos he was abandoned by all evil spirits when he was released from prison and is now only afraid of overcrowded mailboxes.
