Juliane Seidel was born in Suhl/Thuringia in 1983 and has lived in Wiesbaden for several years. In addition to her work as a team assistant, she puts a lot of time and heart and soul into various queer projects (e.g. the review blog "Like a Dream", the reading festival "QUEER gelesen") and has been writing fantastic children's and youth books for over ten years. Meanwhile, in addition to the first volumes of the children's book series "Assjah" and the self-published urban fantasy series "Nachtschatten", she also has her first publications in the queer field to her credit, including the two benefit anthologies "Like a Dream" and "Like a (bad) Dream", which she edited. Her urban fantasy young adult book "Heart of Crystal" also focuses on queer heroines.
