Bea Eschen

Bea Eschen was born in June 1964 in Freudenberg, Germany, and grew up there with her three siblings. She left Germany as a young woman. There were many reasons for her decision to emigrate: boredom, new opportunities, and a restless desire to see the world. Over the following decades, she lived, studied, and worked across three continents, in South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. Her personal life experiences find their way into the fictional stories she tells in all her books.
