Herbert Grosshans

Herbert Grosshans was born in Germany. Even as a young boy he was already a voracious reader. He read every book in the small School library at least three times. His teacher gave him even a few books from his own private collection. His favourite books were stories about heroes and gods. He loved the old legends. At age fourteen, a friend gave him a Science Fiction book and he fell in love with that genre, saving his allowance to buy every SF book he could find, but he also loved Westerns and Mysteries. Later he became a member of the Science Fiction Club Deutschland (Germany) and began writing his own stories. One of his short stories was made into a play and broadcast via radio to schools in Germany. In his early twenties he immigrated to Canada. He began reading books written in English and studied to become proficient in this new language. And there was no better way to learn than to also write. Writing became his passion and he enjoyed making his fertile imagination come alive in his stories. During his lunch hour he wrote into a scribbler and at home he pounded away on his manual typewriter whenever time allowed. The majority of his stories were Science Fiction. With the arrival of computers and the internet it suddenly became a lot easier to write, and, most importantly, to get published. His first full length novel ‘Daughter of the Dark’, Book one of his ‘The Xandra’ series was published in 2006 by Midnight Showcase. Then followed Book two ‘Mother of Light’ and Book three ‘Goddess of Life’. The series has since grown to eight volumes. As of April, 2014, Herbert has published more than 28 books in different genres. Most of Herbert’s stories contain erotica and are for adult readers. His books are available from his publisher Melange Books, LLC, but also from Amazon and other outlets. Book seven ‘Alien World’ and book eight ‘Dark World’ in his ‘Xandra’ series were published with Smashwords. To find out more about Herbert’s books, please, visit his website and his blog.
