Birgit is a new writer with a passion for animal rescue. After adopting her new dog new Harper, she was quickly overwhelmed with the challenges of raising a "puppy on steroids". Together with her close friend, Debra Wagner, she published 'Rescued: A Tale of Two Dogs', two nonfiction tales of love, patience and commitment. In an effort to help bring awareness to animal neglect and abuse in our own neighborhoods, Birgit shares several short stories of animals brought out of the shadows and into the light of love in her second book "Rescued: Out of The Shadows." Fictional short stories and memory books/journals continue to carry the theme of dog rescue. Birgit is also a contributing author to "Be Their Voice: An Anthology for Rescue, Volume I & II". Currently, Birgit is working on her first fiction novel, 'Secrets in Oak Creek', a mystery/romance. Born and raised in Germany, Birgit has spent many years supporting her husband's military career. Moving between Europe and the United States, she now makes her home in the small rural town of Elizabethtown, Kentucky where she enjoys the slower pace of small town living. Early morning weekend walks with her dog Harper are among her favorite activities.
