Lana Rotaru lives with her husband in Aachen. Her reading madness began in her early youth, which she spent hour after hour in a public lending library. Now hundreds of books and e-books fill her living room and e-reader shelves and there is no end in sight. She only takes a reading break when she is writing a new novel herself. She started her career as a self-publisher, but always longed for a permanent publishing home, which she found at Impress, the label of Carlsen Verlag. Her “Crushed Trust” series (genre: romance novel) and “Seven Sins” series (genre: romantic fantasy) have taken the bestseller lists of online bookstores by storm.
