Julia Drosten is a pen name used by a two-person writing collaboration from Münsterland, Germany. The authors have written many previous works of historical fiction in German, and they like researching for their novels, digging into history, and bringing the past to life. Among their research activities are flying in a antique biplane, seeing butchers operate in a butcher shop, exploring Egypt, and getting treated by a beautician. Their debut work, The Lioness of Morocco, was translated into English.
