About

A portrait of Felicia Heilgendorff, a young woman with open blond hair and glasses, resting a small open leather notebook on her raised knee. She's wearing green jeans, a black tanktop with black hoodie thrown over her shoulders, and a black watch.

Welcome to my little cavern of creative magic. I’m a multi-genre indie author of 3 published books. My flash-fiction collection, Barefoot, is a treasure trove of dopamine hits, while my poetry collection, Mute Conversations, dances between the silly and profound. My psychological thriller, Tell Me The Truth, dives deep into an exploration of memory issues and gaslighting. The depths of our emotions and the themes of trauma and personal growth are often woven into the core of my writing.

My fascination with the human mind and heart has led me through psychology and cognitive science degrees, which deeply inform the backgrounds of my stories. When not writing, I love soaking up art and exploring places with my camera, capturing both the stillness of nature and the loud chaos of cities.

Here in my cavern, everyone is welcome. Let’s make ourselves comfortable, be as messy as we need to be and embrace our vulnerabilities. I want to hold space for all the feelings, no matter how heavy or flimsy we’ve been told they are. They matter. This is the messiness of life that we connect over through words, music and visuals.

I’m not here to impress. I’m here to fully exist. To be vulnerable and share my soul with the world, so you might be less afraid to share yours.

I live in Germany amongst shelves and piles of books. If you enjoy my writing, do pop over on Instagram @feliciaheilgendorff and connect. Also, don’t forget to sign up to my newsletter! You’ll be the first to hear about upcoming book releases, special offers and author updates.
