His novels are regulars on the bestseller lists. So far, the writer from Einöd near Homburg has sold over three million books with his dwarf saga alone.
What the hell is that weird guy up to in the Lidl car park in Quickborn-Süd this autumn evening with his mighty battle axe?
Answer: He’s a fantasy fan dressed up as a battle dwarf on his way to the Beluga cinema next door. Markus Heitz will soon be reading from his books there.
Heitz is probably the best-known German fantasy author, for some he is “our Tolkien”, and whenever one of his books appears, it becomes a top 10 bestseller. The volumes of his “Zwergen” cycle have a subscription to the top places there.
