Hera Lind
November 2, 1957
Hera Lind (Herlind Wartenberg) is a German writer and singer.
She is one of the most successful authors of German literature, entertaining women, with more than 12 million books sold, such as Ein Mann für rides Tonart and Das Superweib. She also worked as a television presenter.
In 1988, during her first pregnancy, she was forced to quit singing; she used the time to write her first novel A Man for every tone that became a great success. Other novels followed in the early 1990s, which became bestsellers; many of these books were also filmed. Their post-1995 releases were comparatively less successful, but also often topped the best-selling lists. To date, her books, which have been translated into many languages, have reached a total circulation of over 12 million copies sold.
At the beginning of her career, she wrote only cheerful, amusing love novels, whose working protagonists are located in a wide variety of environments, with humorously difficult situations and a new love: From the classical concert singer in Ein Mann für jede Tonart, via the journalist in Die Erfolgsmasche to the tourist guide in Der Überraschungsmann and others. Since 2010, she has changed the genre and since then has only written serious, so-called factual novels based on real-life women's stories. The range extends from dramatic fates in the GDR (including: Hell was the prize, a love relationship with a homeless (heart-controlled) to overcome cancer (heaven and hell) and other subjects.
