Life

As the daughter of an enthusiastic surfer, Pflieger traveled a lot with her family, which she sees as the reason for her current writing activity. "Due to the sometimes several thousand kilometers of journeys, I spent a lot of time reading and discovered my love for the written word." At the age of 9 she also started windsurfing and wrote her first stories around the same time. After studying biology, she worked a. a. for an institute for biological mosquito control. Kerstin Pflieger is represented by the literature agency Thomas Schlück. In 2011, her debut The Alchemy of Immortality appeared with Goldmann, who is referred to as urban fantasy or fantasy thriller; the author herself wanted to write a novel that "renounced the excessive use of blood and innards and was still gruesome" with a criminal act. The follow-up volume will appear in December 2011; No more detailed information is yet public about her third book project; What is certain is that Pflieger will turn to a new subgenre of the fantastic. In April 2011, Pflieger started a series of writing tips on her blog, posts reviews of books or films and news about her work.

Under the pseudonym Julia Corbin , she published her first thriller The Determination of Evil in 2017, followed in 2018 by The Poison of Truth . Both books are set in Mannheim.

Works

The atmosphere of Tim Burton 's film Sleepy Hollow inspired Kerstin Pflieger to make her debut novel. Although the model of the Ichabod Crane is unmistakable for Pflieger's main character Icherios Ceihn, the author has created an independent, independent character with his past and a secret; With the invention of a "Kanzelley for the inspection of unnatural occurrences" as Ceihn's employer, she finally sets herself apart from the model. Furthermore, she regretted that "the dark, blood-sucking and murdering vampire had been forgotten a bit. Since vampires have fascinated me since my teenage years and the books by Anne Rice and the film" Interview with a Vampire ", I decided to make my own To capture the interpretation of these creatures on paper " , so that in her book vampires are portrayed from a side opposite to the current trend. The author also placed great emphasis on research: The Alchemy of Immortality takes place at the beginning of 1771 in Karlsruhe , at the time of the great famine , and finally moves to a fictional location. During the events described there, the author was able to use her specialist knowledge in the field of biology and chemistry for the subjects of corpse sections and alchemy .
