Keith is not an ordinary short story hero. He is a talking stone with deep insights into life and sometimes wishes he could be like a human. Because humans have so many opportunities to communicate, express themselves, and enjoy life. But somehow, they often don’t realize all that they can do and be. Keith is known as a columnist for the literary magazine "Die Schreibmaschine" from Charles Verlag. Yvonne Pioch was born in 1980 in Düsseldorf and studied literature, English, and computer science in Essen. She has worked as a journalist for various media. Since 2005, she has lived in Frankfurt am Main and works as a freelance editor and copywriter. In 2011, she published her first novel "Altraterra," followed by "Der Männer-Backomat" and "Der Männer-Backomat 2.".
