Life and work

Renate Freund was born in 1939 in Neuwied as the second of five children. Being a qualified shorthand clerk, she started her career as a clerical assistant in the purchasing department of a medium-sized enterprise. After that she worked in the technical department of the hospital Marien-Klinikum in Rhineland-Palatinate until she retired. Based on her interest in literature she later developed a talent for literary writing, especially short stories and poetry.[2] Her first book of twelve short detective stories titled Der letzte Tanz[3] (The Last Dance) was published in August 2016 by Martin Werhand Verlag. In January 2017 her poems were published in the anthology Abendfrieden, 100 Gedichte[4] (Evening Peace, 100 poems). In the same year the same publisher issued her poetry book Himmelreich(Kingdom of Heaven) as part of the poetry series "50 sonnets".[5] A third book of poetry, titled Sinnpuppe[6] (Doll of Sense) was published in January 2018 as part of the series "50 Gedichte"[7] (50 poems).[8]
