Hello dear people <3

My first name is Marie,
but I also go by the nicknames Lorea or Blue online (at least in my gaming bubble).

Drawing and Writing are my hobbies ever since I can remember back, but  in 2018 I started writing, finishing and publishing my first real book (on amazon) under the author pseudonym Anni Harms, which was my long-deceased grandmother's maiden name.
I'm a lot like her. She and I have often been a nuisance to the world around us, so I figured it was the best idea to use her name as my author name. 

So what happened from 2018 until now, 2025?
Soon after I selfpublished my book my Mom died by cancer and so my  little world, all my loving and my will to live completly got crushed into pieces and left me shattered. 
I was like a Zombie, stopped all attempts to write or draw, instead I drowned myself in work to numb the pain but it rather worsened everything. Finally I started therapy and rehab and my greatest wish by now is to enflame my love and joy for creating stories again. 

That is why I am here.

I'm here to read. I'm here to gather inspiration, because that's part of what an artist needs to create their own material and of course I do see myself as an Artist. 
And finally, I'm here to share what I am able to produce myself with others. 

I usually write in my mother language German, but I plan to translate my stories and only publish the english versions here, as I also plan to reach out to publishing houses when the time comes with my originals. 

Let's see if that works out and what comes of it. Therefore I also did not word-per-word translate my book titles, rather created new but still matching ones.  This being said: PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT ENGLISH IS NOT MY NATIVE LANGUAGE! I'll try my best, though! 
Thanks for understanding <3

Oh. And by the way, I'm open, largely non-judgmental and extremely communicative (blame my ADHD I guess? xD), so if you're sociable, I'm always happy to have a lively exchange!  
<3 :)
