Interview with Angelika Rust

I’m interviewing Angelika Rust, the author of The Girl on the Red Pillow. Angelika is from Austria, which I got wrong on the first question, but loved the answer so much that I had to run it, even if it shows I’m less than perfect.

Austria! It’s Austria…I’m sorry. It doesn’t make much of a difference, neighboring countries, basically the same language, but…imagine telling a Scotsman he’s English, or a Canadian he’s American. Let’s just say that during the football (soccer, in the US) season, you’ll find that your average Austrian will cheer for any country as long as it’s not Germany, and leave it at that 🙂

I think the language difference makes this story even more remarkable because it is written in English and I couldn’t really sense an accent to the writing. Tell us something about yourself, Angelika.

About me, I’m in my late thirties…

About angelikarust

My name is Angelika Rust. I was born in Vienna in 1977. These days, I live in Germany, with my husband, two children, a despotic couple of cats and a hyperactive dog. After having tried almost every possible job from pizza delivery girl to HR consultant, I now make a living knowing English. No, I haven’t yet figured out what I want to be when I grow up, whenever that may be. In the meantime, I write the occasional book.
