Klaus Gehling is a German writer who lives in Germany and South Africa. After a career of more than forty years as a psychologist and psychotherapist, working with people with intellectual disabilities and mental health conditions, he now devotes much of his time to writing. Years of working closely with people from very different backgrounds deepened his interest in the complexity of human behaviour and the often unexpected consequences of ordinary choices. He writes short stories inspired by everyday life, preferring observation to explanation and leaving readers space to draw their own conclusions. His work has received two first prizes in the international Write a Story in 100 Words competition and an Honourable Mention in the Sleek City writing contest. Five of his flash fiction stories have been published in Christopher Fielden's Nonsensically Challenged. His story Ninety-nine Balconies appeared in the anthology My Life as a Kumquat, published by Michael Terence Publishing.
