After her elementary school teacher said that Tanya would probably never learn to read and write properly, it was at the age of ten that Tanya discovered her passion for writing. From that point on, the stories just started to flow. Stewner studied literature and worked as a translator and editor for several years. She now devotes herself entirely to her writing. Her children's book series, especially Alea Aquarius, are huge successes both in Germany and internationally. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew O. Anderson\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in the sunny, sleepy town of Sequim, WA. As a young reader he devoured books of all kinds but was especially drawn to fantasy and myth. His favorites were Homer's \u003ci\u003eOdyssey, \u003c\/i\u003eJ. R. R. Tolkien's \u003ci\u003eThe Hobbit\u003c\/i\u003e, and J. K. Rowling's \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter\u003c\/i\u003e series. As an adult, he continues to explore these and similar stories as a scholar and fan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMatthew currently teaches courses on German language and culture at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN, and has published articles on historical German youth adventure literature. His translation of Andreas Steinhöfel's \u003ci\u003eIf My Moon Was Your Sun\u003c\/i\u003e won the 2016 German Book Office's Translation Competition. Although he has spent three years studying and working in Germany, he is still searching for an American bakery that can recreate the perfect \u003ci\u003eVollkornbrot\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike Alea, Matthew is drawn to the water - the awe-inspiring, thunderous crash of the Pacific Ocean, the gleeful gurgle of the Black Forest's babbling brooks, or the sight of a blustery autumn breeze billowing across the smooth surface of Lake Superior. In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, baking, travelling, and reading.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 7.4 x 4.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 08, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43485397778521,"sku":"9781646908165","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6465\/9545\/files\/M4L_3G1Am89781646908165.webp?v=1782795675","url":"https:\/\/warrenssanctuaryofthemind.myshopify.com\/de\/products\/the-colors-of-the-sea-paperback","provider":"Warren's sanctuary of the mind","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
