I always wanted to write. I actually started doing this when I was at elementary school (that’s what elementary school was called back then) and wrote little stories (handwritten) about the local stuffed animals. During my studies I wrote science fiction stories (on a typewriter) and published them in the relevant magazines (including Perry Rhodan). Finally, I ventured into texts with a larger number of words (on the computer) and, after four years of preparatory work, published my first crime novel under my pseudonym Paul Schaffrath in 2015, Bonner Fenstersturz. At the same time, I have published academic titles in the fields of theology, philosophy, art history and literature under my real name Winrich C.-W. Clasen, most recently The last number. A cultural and historical journey from Zurich to Riga (2023).
