Author Biography

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Kruck

Petie's professional life began in a bank. But the bank and he soon found out that it wasn't the right fit. So Petie went to university and studied economics and media sciences. He worked in market research on the side. Together with a colleague, they founded a service agency in 1994, which focused primarily on conducting surveys. Four years later, together with his professor, he founded BIFAK at the University of Bochum, a full-service institute for media and communication research.
In 2006 he had had enough. Petie began writing and published a whole series of books. In addition, he worked as a freelance science editor, having since obtained his doctorate. Because it is very difficult to make a living from writing. Especially if you are dependent on others. At some point, he vowed, I'll take matters into my own hands and set up my own publishing house. At the time, he probably had no idea that it would be children's books that he would soon dedicate his life to. But first he had to get to know Meggie.

After training as an office administrator, Meggie worked for a charity from 1998 to 2019. But she wasn't really able to live out her enormous creative talent. Since the birth of her daughter Jana in 2003 (she plays Feodora in our films) and even more so after Aaron's birth in 2010 (he's our dinosaur), her interest in high-quality children's entertainment grew steadily. The demand alone was difficult to meet.
Then, by an incredibly lucky coincidence, she met Petie in 2017. He had already written a few books. Together with him and Aaron, the actual source of the ideas, she developed the stories from the Dino-Fino universe. At some point, Meggie and Petie decided to go all in. Sometimes you have to put all your eggs in one basket.
From then on, they worked on their dream project every day. Meggie quickly trained in book typesetting and graphic design. Since then, she has been illustrating and typesetting the books of the Dino Fino publishing house on her own.
At the same time, the idea of creating another book series alongside the first (Dino + Ricky) was born. Dino's little sister Feodora was increasingly demanding her role in the minds of the creative team.
No sooner said than done. Meggie and Petie worked together to create the adventures of Feodora + Gino. But even that wasn't enough. At some point, they came up with the idea of creating picture books for the little ones. Meggie sank deeper and deeper into this project. In a creative eruption without equal, she conceived, wrote and designed the first six picture books in just a few weeks - single-handedly.
Meggie has found her Ikigai as a mom of two wonderful children and creative publishing work.
