Philipp von Werthern
Philipp von Werthern is Tamara's father, and will be at the book launch of Riders on the Storm to answer audience questions about what it is like to have been written into a crime novel as the main character without any prior knowledge of this happening. Philipp really does live in Hofheim, a small town in the foothills of the Taunus in Germany. He does ride a motorbike with a sidecar, and has so far owned chickens, several dogs (including the inimitable Maschka), a sheep, and a horse. He has booked his Eurostar train ticket, and is very much looking forward to taking part in the event. He will also be happy to sign copies (it's not every day that the protagonist of a novel will sign it for you)
