MARIE CRUICKSHANK
author
Marie Cruickshank was born in Belfast, Ireland in 1945. She studied domestic economics at the Belfast College of Domestic Science.
As a teacher, she was able to travel extensively during the school holidays and spend a lot of time with French friends and family in France, where her love of gastronomy began. On her travels through Europe she began to collect interesting recipes from all parts of Europe and to develop her own cooking ideas from them and had several culinary affairs..
It was on one of those trips that she met the love of her life, her husband Blair, who invited her to join him in the romantic Scottish Highlands, a place that offers cuisine in its own right. It's a place that has more to offer than beautiful landscapes, mythical stone circles and haggis. As well as beautiful castles and rolling hills, there is also wild local salmon, excellent beef and lamb, and fields of strawberries and raspberries.
Marie has lived with her husband in the cozy seaside town of Nairn on the beautiful Moray Firth for 37 years now. The small town in the Scottish Highlands has holidayed many celebrities including Charlie Chaplin and Burt Lancaster and is famous for its championship golf courses.
After early retirement from teaching, Marie Cruickshank started an online travel company arranging bespoke car tours of Scotland, Ireland and France, winning an award for Highland Business Woman of the Year in 2006.
Due to her travel business she has traveled extensively to view and inspect hotels and restaurants in Scotland, Ireland and France. In doing so, she found inspiration and added something to her book that she hopes you will enjoy.
When she's not cooking and trying out new recipes, she can be found in her garden or volunteering at a local charity shop.
SONJA DAEMEN
Autorin & Fotografin
Sonja Daemen, born in Leipzig in 1952, grew up in Erfurt, Frankenberg and Greifswald.
The conditions in the GDR prevented her desire to become an interpreter. At the age of 18 she went back to Leipzig to get to know her hometown. There she studied the rather unpopular chemistry and also completed the inspiring training to become a specialist translator. Language and languages have been her passion from an early age.
She has been writing poems since she was 16. She was also fascinated by photography; She made her first photographic works in her father's darkroom when she was 14.
Since she only had socialist foreign countries left to explore the world, she discovered Hungary and Poland, first learning Hungarian and later Polish through self-study.
The change of location remained a constant in her life, only interrupted by a longer period of sedentary life when she moved to live with her husband in Frankfurt an der Oder, where her two children were born and grew up.
After the political upheaval, she had to reorient herself professionally in the early 1990s and completed a part-time degree in social pedagogy. In addition to the alternating activities as a chemist, translator, tour guide, interpreter, official, cultural development planner and migration consultant at various locations in Saxony, Brandenburg and Berlin, she was continually artistically active in the photographic and literary fields.
Since 2005 she has been self-employed as a freelance author, photographer and language teacher,
In 2006 she received a master's degree in modern German literature and was deputy chairwoman of the Free German Authors' Association in the state of Brandenburg for several years. After numerous contributions to anthologies and literary magazines, her volume of poetry “Irrsinn Aktenlage” was published in 2011 by Engelsdorfer Verlag Leipzig.
In 2017 she moved back to one of her childhood places, Greifswald in Western Pomerania.
Sonja Daemen writes poems, short prose, stories, plays, essays and satirical glosses. She also translates fiction from Polish and Hungarian. She is currently working on her first novel. She has already shown her photographs in many places. They are characterized by multilingual readings and the combination of literature and photography in exhibitions and readings.
Sonja Daemen has processed her experiences from this period from 1978 to 2006, when she lived in the German-Polish border region, in her volume of short stories "In the Borderland - Snapshots from the Oder Region". Her short stories are anecdotes from her life, the photographs are contemporary witnesses and memories of a time before our time.
Sonja Daemen describes her book as autobiographical fiction that addresses historical and social upheavals.

ROSMARIE STUCKI
DIALECT AUTHOR
The dialect author Rosmarie Stucki, born in 1945, has lived in Steffisburg in the canton of Bern for a long time.
She is the mother of author Ursula Gerber, a second daughter and a son.
As a teacher, wife, mother and grandmother, as well as a passionate yodeler, she draws on her wealth of experience from school and her life for her Bern-German dialect stories.
Among other things, the author performed for many years as a solo yodeller. From 1975 - 1996 she was the main yodeler with the Herbligen yodelling club and performed in various duets and trios.
For 31 years she was the conductor of the Wirtenchor Thun.
For 12 years she ran the yodelling club Blümlisalp Thun and
7 years the male choir Mühlethurnen.
Swiss customs have always been very important to her. Of course, this also includes the Bernese German dialect. Rosmarie Stucki prefers to write in Bernese German and is known for her books and her captivating readings. In her "rustic" Bernese German, one of the many Swiss dialects, author Rosmarie Stucki describes entertaining short stories from everyday life. The author's reading is as exciting and captivating as her writing. It is a pleasure to listen to her and also to read her books. Whether it's about collecting mushrooms, the monthly "Höck" organised by the countrywomen, how she felt like she was on the wings of an eagle during a gliding flight, about people and animals; the author Rosmarie Stucki knows how to tell something special and particularly amusing about everything and has many anecdotes to tell. These are stories to marvel at, laugh at, think about and sympathise with. Little encouragements for the heart and the mind. Her hobbies were reading, knitting and reading aloud, and she was really good at that - genuine and lively. She enjoyed giving lectures in old people's homes and wherever else she was asked. Anyone who attended one of her lectures wanted to hear her again and again. It is a pity that there is only one audio CD of her, and now she no longer considers her voice suitable for reading aloud.
The Bernese dialect author has published a total of five books in Bernese German with Blaukreuz Verlag.
