Life
Voigt passed an acting examination in Frankfurt in 1948 and then took on radio play roles with the Hessischer Rundfunk and Südwestfunk . From the end of the 1950s, she and her husband began primarily to write science fiction, and then from 1969 to writing crime novels. She and her family settled in Rastatt in the mid-1960s , where the Pabel Verlag is also based, where Karl Voigt was in charge of the bat series. Before that, they lived in Berlin and Frankfurt. After the editorial office of Pabel Verlag had been relocated to Munich, the couple continued to write numerous notebooks of various genres, including erotic, horror stories and some doctor novels.
