In memoriam – Gerd Schneider Gerd Schneider was born in 1942 and used to live in Niederkassel near Bonn. After obtaining a degree in German literature and theatre studies he started working as a journalist. Since 1980 he has been writing numerous novels, TV scripts and non-fiction books, including THE STORY OF A GUY WHO WENT OUT TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD AND TO BE BACK IN TIME FOR DINNER (Arena Publishing, 2010). He was also very interested in the life of Franz Kafka about whom we wrote the YA novel KAFKA’S DOLL which was published in 2008. Another one of his many interests was playing chess. He taught chess to children and teenagers at schools and clubs for many years. This led to the publication of a chess instruction book called PAWN, QUEEN, KING – CHECKMATE! A CHESS COURSE FOR BEGINNERS. Gerd Schneider died in the summer of 2016.
