The author:

Jona Sheffield is currently Germany's most successful science fiction author in self-publishing.

All three volumes of her science fiction trilogy "Lumera Expedition" have become German bestsellers. The same is true of her current Lumera thriller "Project Eden." Her new Lumera thriller "Prion" will be published this summer.

Sheffield, born in 1978, studied international maritime economics because foreign destinations have always fascinated her. As managing director of a Düsseldorf media company, she headed an editorial department and published numerous texts of her own.

She then combined her passions for great (literary) adventures and outer space with her commitment to climate change by creating the Lumera universe.

She is the founder of the #SciFiForFuture movement, which aims to raise awareness about the pressing issues of our time through fictional but real-life stories.

Sheffield lives with her husband and three children in Dormagen on the Rhine, between the metropolises of Cologne and Düsseldorf.
