Her books largely cover the genres of poetry and fiction (short stories and essays, crime thrillers, satire and comedy). The latest are available as e-books worldwide. Audiobooks are also expected to follow soon. In some of them, Ani will even take on the role of the narrator.The widely travelled writer grew up up in an international environment spending several years in the US, the UK and twelve in Italy before returning to her country of birth in 2013, where she now resides in the countryside of Southern Germany. She speaks four languages (German, English, French, Italian).During her residency in Italy, she became the founder (2002) and editor-in-chief (until 2005) of "Online Writers Against War", an international internet portal where journalists and authors from all over the world had come together to protest the illegal invasion of Iraq by the United States. During this time, she also worked as a freelance journalist and was a guest author (2004 - 2006) for the English language political magazine "Underground Focus" in London. As an independent journalist, she is still commenting international politics from time to time, mostly for the English speaking world.She is also a committed environmental and human rights activist . Only recently, she launched her newest humanitarian project, "Interviewed by Friends", a long-term engagement designed to combat the rising xenophobia and the sadly often existing prejudice towards cultures different from our own. The project's goal is to revive good old-fashioned manners of debating and to create, once again, a discussion culture that would champion "allowing your counterpart to reflect on a question before contradicting him right away", as it has, unfortunately, become the norm these days.More on Ani Corné and samples of her work are available on her official website and her YouTube channel.view less
