Hankthemoose

Hankthemoose, the pen name of Micha Böttiger, is a German fantasy author whose work offers a refreshing twist on the genre. Drawing inspiration from the quiet, reflective moments of everyday life, Hankthemoose’s stories are more than just magical adventures—they are explorations of personal growth, struggle, and the complexity of human nature. Whether crafting a world filled with dragons or a small village on the brink of transformation, his work invites readers to delve deeply into the lives of his characters, whose struggles are often as internal as they are external.

Micha’s journey into fiction writing wasn’t a conventional one. After spending years as a freelance copywriter and gardener, he discovered that true creativity often blossoms in the most unexpected places. Writing, for him, was a way to channel the quiet reflections of his daily life into stories that resonated with readers. His debut novel, The Dragon's Gambit, introduces readers to the Underkeeper series, a progression fantasy filled with nuanced characters and richly built worlds.
