The Pillar of Light (eBook)

Wolf Awert When Wolf Awert started writing stories is unknown. He has invented and told them for as long as he can remember. Perhaps even longer. His companions have told stories of him being constantly immersed in conversations with himself on his way to school. Later, he studied geography, biology, agrology, meteorology, and ethnology, without getting degrees in all of those, and then worked as an environmental scientist at the university. He wrote scientific publications, non-fiction books, and textbooks, invented thinking tools and built a system for idea management. His career took him to many parts of the world where he visited more than just conference rooms. In China in 1980, he had his first experiences with Qi Gong and Tai Chi Quan, which he now teaches as a volunteer. Being personally familiar with weapons like swords, sabers, lances, long staffs and fans from one's own experiences is an ideal basis for fantasy stories. He added the katana and jo (short staff) from Aikido and he kept himself in shape as a student with the foil, dagger, and épée. Today, Wolf Awert lives the quiet life of a pensioner in the Eifel region and only writes fiction now.
