Born in 1968, Jule Meeringa grew up in East Frisia, Germany, where she learned to read amid a wonderful expansive landscape of windmills, lighthouses, dams, sheep, and cows. Inspired by Enid Blyton’s books, she decided very early on to be a writer, and thirty years later she published her first book. In addition to contemporary fiction, she writes thrillers under the name Elke Bergsma.
