In 1984 Barbara Nowak was born into the depth of the Bayrischen Wald (Bavarian Forest). At some point she moved into the big wide world. Along the way, she made a stop in Hamburg. She works at a software company in the second-level support. Furthermore she threads words onto long chains and publishes the results. If she istn't dreaming about living with her very own unicorn, she creates and makes things using her hands, like crochet, knitting, sewing or fumbling Bügelperlen (ironing pearls) onto small boards. Superheroes, console games and series are her big passion. She doesn't love the big city because of the urge to take everything the city-life offers but because of all the chances to do so, without the need of actually doing it. Because where she is now, she is finally at home.
