Der Perlentaucher unter den Buchläden Eichendorff21

Nina Lisicar was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where her parents were contractors for the Royal Family of Haile Selassie. At 8 months, she contracted cerebral meningitis and survived the disease, but she became deaf as a result. At 5 years of age, she moved to the United States with her family, was outfitted with hearing aids, and attended speech therapy. Her ability to use her voice enabled her to attend regular and private schools and soon she mastered the English language as well as sign language, which is now her second language. She graduated summa cum laude at Gallaudet University. The temples and ruins she had visited with her family in her childhood, such as Egypt and its pyramids and Teotihuacan in Mexico, motivated her to seek greater knowledge and understanding about their history and purpose. While working as auditor for the federal government, she used her free time to write a story that eventually became a novel. It is a fictional romance novel based on her life experiences, as well as applying the ancient alien theories prescribed by Erich Von Daniken and Giorgio Tsoukalos.
