I was struggling with being born a boy from a very young age. After a troubled school "career", obligatory service (with the Red Cross) and a year working in a bar in the UK, I went to France for a couple of month, before I returned to Germany and happened to run into my former ambulance driver (and fellow Ziwi), who's friends were starting a company in music, selling used equipment from the UK to bands in Hamburg.

Eventually I joined the business as maker of flight cases and speaker cabinets (copies mainy of JBL and Electrovox designs) to begin with and in 1978 became a partner and manager. After five years it all went to pot and I finally came out as transgender. My stories here reflect in a lot of ways on that period, even though all characters apart from the protagonist are entirely ficticious.

Today, living as a woman since a long time, I am registered to certifiy electrical systems of all sizes and work mainly as Consultant or site manageress, looking forward to more time in the job, hopefully teaching about my extensive experience with "Life, the universe and everything".

Oh, and I am accomplished in the astrological system of the "Münchner Rhythmenlehre."

My overall word count is around 600K
