Sheffield, born in 1978, studied international maritime economics because foreign destinations have always fascinated her. As managing director of a Düsseldorf media company, she headed an editorial department and published numerous texts of her own. She then combined her passions for great (literary) adventures and outer space with her commitment to climate change by creating the Lumera universe. She is the founder of the #SciFiForFuture movement.
Jona Sheffield is currently Germany's most successful science fiction author in self-publishing.
Her Lumera science fiction thriller series starts with the trilogy, Lumera Expedition. All volumes have become German bestsellers and have already delighted tens of thousands of readers.
