Autor: Valsirion Scharona
Arndt Schmid, artist name Valsirion Scharona, was born in 1967 in Reutlingen / Germany. In 1977 he emigrated with his parents to Brazil and lived on the Amazon River. Very early he started writing his first novel, at that time still in school notebooks. For a few years he also tried his hand as a comic artist. In 1988 he returned to Austria. After his military service, he completed an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering and graduated as a control engineer. During his apprenticeship, he discovered a special love for unicorns and, as a direct consequence, for horses. Around 2002, he wrote the original script for his first novel in the series „In the Sign of the Black Unicorn“, entitled „Sword Priest“. A few years later he ventured with this the leap to the public. Professionally, he works as a process engineer in the development of plastics recycling in a leading global company.
