Sleeper Cell

Mosul during the reign of ISIS: Aliya grows up in a world shaped by tradition, faith, and strict rules. A life marked by obedience and religious rigor. An arranged marriage to a young doctor brings her to London-to a cold, godless society that is alien to her. Torn between homesickness and inner turmoil, Aliya seeks refuge in a mosque and discovers a community of women with similar beliefs. What initially appears to be friendship soon reveals itself as a dangerous web of extremist ideas.

I live with my family in the far north of Bremen. Writing is my great passion, sometimes exciting, sometimes thoughtful, but always from the heart. Whether it's a regional crime novel or current social issues such as religious conflicts, war and displacement, or personal stories-I refuse to be pigeonholed. My stories arise from what moves me.
