Autorenporträt
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, USA, Beatrice King is a resident in Germany, and holds a masters degree in international business and sustainability from the University of Hamburg. She is a climate activist who has travelled extensively in North America and Europe. Many of these visits offered first-hand examples of the effects of global warming, some of which now inspire storylines, as well as the paths and challenges her characters confront. In fact, Death in the Alps was inspired by her masters thesis, which focused on sustainable adaptations to climate change in Austrian and US ski industries. Beatrice also depicts themes relating to other broad issues of our era, such as cultural bias, inter-generational dynamics, and mental health; topics that will be explored further in coming works, along with...yes...another murder.
