Florian Hirte: My name is Florian Hirte. I was born in 1987 in Vienna, Austria, and now live in the picturesque Lake Constance region of Germany. Since childhood, I have loved expressing myself creatively - whether through writing, drawing, or artistic video productions. My work reflects my enthusiasm for creative exploration and the joy of bringing ideas to life. Professionally, I work in the social sector, where I have the privilege of supporting people on their life journeys and fostering their development. These experiences deeply influence my stories, inspiring me to explore themes such as empathy, curiosity, and the beauty of life. With Musings of the Stars - Voyage into the Unknown, I am publishing my first book. This story, nurtured for many years, was inspired by my love for my daughter and the memory of my father, who was a passionate lover of books. I hope it takes my daughter and many other young readers on a philosophical adventure. The question of the meaning of life and our purpose on this planet has fascinated me since my youth. Supernatural stories have always held a special allure for me - whether they involve beings from other planets or extraordinary abilities like telepathy. With this book, I had the opportunity to bring all my passions together and weave these themes into a story that can inspire both children and adults to reflect.
