Biography

Born 1960, in Germany, the author writes under the pseudonym Ani Corné in German and English.  Her books largely serve the genres of poetry (in German and English language) as well as fiction (short stories and essays, romance novels, crime novels, satire and comedy).  Not all titles are available in both languages; some are published exclusively for the  English speaking market, others only for the German speaking one, but most are available as e-books worldwide . Audiobooks are also to follow soon. In some of them, she will even take on the role of narrator herself. Since the COVID pandemic, she has been successfully self-publishing print editions of her most recent works.

Growing up in an international environment, Ani Corné lived for several years in the USA, Great Britain, France and Italy. She speaks four languages (German, English, French and Italian). During her 12-year stay in Italy, she was, among other things, the founder (2002) and until 2005 editor-in-chief of "Online Writers Against War", an international Internet portal in which journalists and authors from all over the world had joined forces to oppose the violation of international law when the USA invaded Iraq. During this time, she wrote as a guest journalist (2004 - 2006) for the English magazine "Underground Focus" in London. 2013, she returned from Italy to her country of birth and has been living in the countryside in southern Germany ever since. In recent years, she  focused more on writing poetry and novels than on journalistic work, but still expresses herself in occasional online articles on international politics.

Ani Corné is also a committed environmental and human rights activist. A few years ago, she started her latest humanitarian project "Interviewed by Friends", a long-term commitment to combat the increasing xenophobia and the prejudices against other cultures that still exist.The aim of the project is to revive the "good old-fashioned" way of debating and to return to a culture of discussion that advocates that each interlocutor is given time to think about a question before being immediately interrupted with the opposing opinion or, worse, insulted or slandered.
