(by an early reviewer) Author InformationLauca is a European writer, author of micro stories inspired by everyday life. Her historical adventure novel draws inspiration from her adventures across China, where she lived for six years, and from Chinese history. Her writing also reflects her interest in foreign languages and crossing cultures, thus it is not unusual to find characters of different nationalities in her stories. She also loves creating micro stories which sometimes stretch the reality.She presently lives and works in the amazing European Union, where she feels at home even though she misses East Asia. Berlin is her city of choice, and when she is not busy in her daily job as an internal auditor, she works on her writing projects and as a qigong teacher.
