Julia DrostenJulia and Horst Drosten write historical novels together under the pseudonym Julia Drosten. In their spare time, Julia loves to do yoga, and Horst runs regularly. Horst is also a very skilled cook, and Julia loves to eat the meals he creates. The autors have written many other works of historical fiction in German, and they greatly enjoy conducting research for their novels--diving into history and making the past come alive. They count flying in a historic biplane, watching the workers in a butcher's shop, exploring Egypt, and being pampered by a beautician among their research pursuits. The authors of The Lioness of Morocco, an Amazon bestseller in Germany and the United States, Julia and Horst live in the idyllic Münsterland in Germany. The Elephant Keeper's Daughter, originally published in German under the title Die Elefantenhüterin, is their second novel translated into English. Read More Read Less
