My name is Jörn Holtz, and I was born in 1969 in Kiel, where I still live today with my wife. Since completing my training, I have worked in the IT sector and currently share responsibility for global technical support for a product that requires detailed explanation. My duties include advising customers and conducting training sessions for employees and partners worldwide.

The idea for my book series Metamour came to me in 2008, during an unexpected period of unemployment. My American employer had abruptly decided to shut down its EMEA branch, leaving me in the midst of a transitional phase. At the same time, the media was filled with reports about the "Summer of Love," which had taken place 40 years earlier. That was when a question occurred to me: What would happen if a stressed IT specialist, teetering on the edge of burnout—or perhaps already past it—encountered a laid-back hippie child?

This question stayed with me. Time and again, I found myself dreaming of this scenario until I eventually decided to turn it into a story. Since then, I have been working as an independent author alongside my primary career, publishing my works through self-publishing.
