Frank Schulz (born February 14, 1957 in Hagen bei Stade ) is a German writer .

Life

Schulz was born the son of a master plumber and his wife Hildegard. Schulz worked as a commercial clerk in Hamburg, studied various humanities subjects and began to write. Frank Schulz also worked as a documentary for Gala magazine .

Schulz published in anthologies, newspapers and magazines. His debut novel Kolks blonde Bräute was published in 1991 and became a “milestone in drinking literature (...) with ludicrous dialogues in pubs and taverns”. It took over ten years for Schulz to publish the second volume of his “Hagen Trilogy”, the novel Morbus Fonticuli or Die Sehnsucht des Laien (2002). The trilogy was completed in 2006 with The Ouzo Oracle .

Between October 2004 and September 2005, Schulz's writers blog Der Kolk-Rabe - the fleeting online magazine for two thousand and one, published the serial novel Bella and the Office of Horror (40 episodes), created in 1994 in an exchange of letters with the writer and screenwriter Norbert Eberlein as well a short story in the summer of 2005, the eso-thriller Dead Never Die (13 episodes).

In 2008, Schulz traveled to Ayvalık on the Aegean Sea as a guest of the Turkish-German town scrutiny project Yakın Bakış initiated by the Goethe Institute . Eight Turkish and eight German authors each took part in this project, who described their visits to the host countries in weblogs .

Frank Schulz is married and lives as a freelance writer in Osnabrück .
