Stefan Maiwald, born in 1971 in Braunschweig, is one of Germany’s most versatile authors. For the past twenty years, he has called the island of Grado—nestled between Venice and Trieste—his home. Maiwald’s works span novels, crime thrillers, and non-fiction, including bestsellers like Laura, Leo, Luca and I – How to Survive in an Italian Family, We Are Papa!, and The Italian Principle: This is How Happiness Works! His historical Venice crime novel, The Doge’s Spy, was named Best Debut of the Year by the authors’ and critics’ association HOMER. He also runs postausitalien.com, the most-read German-language website about Italy. When he’s not writing, Maiwald can often be found on Grado’s stunning seven-kilometer sandy beach.

Designer, editor, and author Peter Feierabend has left his mark on nearly every bookshelf—having worked on approximately 3,000 book titles. And his journey is far from over. Born in Hanover, he studied design at the University of the Arts in Berlin and has called Cologne home for the past 25 years.
