Merhaba and welcome to my website. On this site you will find more about me and my work as an author. For example about my recent book, which is made up of 15 historical short stories set in Istanbul at a time at which there was still a sultan in power.
You will also find a page with some other projects I am participating in. One of them is the German-Turkish online magazine Maviblau.
About me
fictional and non-non-fictional, as print and online
I’ve been living in Istanbul for a few years. Here, I fell in love, first with the city and then with my now wife. I work as a freelance translator and writer. Whether journalism or fiction, the texts I write are usually about life at the Bosphorus.
“How sad,” said the boy as he sat down on the white marble wall at the entrance to the mosque and dangled his legs, “they build such big and such beautiful houses, but nobody lives in them.”
