Annette Hess
We talked to writer and creative powerhouse Anette Hess about her series’ INTERPRETER OF SILENCE and WEISSENSEE, her journey to becoming a writer, why dialogue is like music - think rhythm, temp and melody – the fear of the blank page and her personal connection to the stories she writes. Plus we got a tiny glimpse of the newest installment of the Kudamm series. Enjoy!
