POPULARITY
Im Podcast spricht Maike Werkmeister offen über ihren Weg von der Journalistin zur erfolgreichen Bestsellerautorin. Bekannt wurde sie zunächst durch ihre Arbeit für die BRAVO, wo sie Popstars interviewte und ein Leben zwischen Redaktionen, Tourneen und Großveranstaltungen führte. Diese Zeit war prägend, aber auch extrem fordernd. Der Wunsch, eigene Geschichten zu erzählen, begleitete sie jedoch schon damals und wurde langfristig zum entscheidenden Wendepunkt ihrer Karriere.Der Durchbruch als Autorin kam nach mehreren unveröffentlichten Romanprojekten. Mit ihrem Debüt gelang ihr der Einstieg in den Publikumsverlag, gefolgt von einer Reihe erfolgreicher Romane, die regelmäßig Bestsellerlisten erreichten. Im Gespräch macht sie deutlich, dass literarischer Erfolg kein Zufallsprodukt ist, sondern das Zusammenspiel aus Text, Timing, Verlag, Marketing und Ausdauer erfordert. Gleichzeitig betont sie die Unsicherheiten des Marktes und den hohen Erwartungsdruck, der mit kommerziellem Erfolg einhergeht.Werkmeister beschreibt ihren Schreiballtag als strukturiert, aber auch einsam. Viele Stunden verbringt sie allein am Schreibtisch, fernab der Öffentlichkeit, mit der kontinuierlichen Herausforderung, neue Stoffe zu entwickeln. Nach mehreren Büchern in engem Veröffentlichungsrhythmus entschied sie sich bewusst für eine kreative Pause, um Qualität, Lebenserfahrung und persönliche Balance nicht zu verlieren.Ein weiteres Thema des Gesprächs ist ihre enge Beziehung zu Orten, insbesondere zu Hamburg und Norderney, die in ihrem Leben und in ihren Romanen eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Städte, Landschaften und Alltagsbeobachtungen dienen ihr als emotionale Anker und Inspirationsquellen. Dabei geht es weniger um Kulissen als um Stimmungen und Lebensgefühle, die sie literarisch übersetzt.Der Podcast zeigt Maike Werkmeister als reflektierte Autorin, die Erfolg nüchtern einordnet, kreative Prozesse transparent macht und den Beruf des Schreibens jenseits von Klischees beschreibt. Im Mittelpunkt stehen nicht Glamour oder Selbstinszenierung, sondern die kontinuierliche Arbeit am Erzählen von Geschichten, die Leserinnen begleiten, unterhalten und emotional erreichen.Hier geht es zu Daniel Kaisers Podcastempfehlung in der ARD Audiothek: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/barmbek-bump-prange-vs-rohde/urn:ard:show:f477382001b93bef/
In today's conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Shiloh Werkmeister — a psychotherapist, author, and speaker who blends the science of psychology with real-life strategies to help women protect their energy, set unapologetic boundaries, and live with unshakable confidence. Together, we talk about what it really means to protect your peace while pursuing your purpose. From learning when to say “no” without guilt, to recognizing the early signs of burnout, to navigating feedback and expectations as a faith-centered leader, this episode will help you create space for what God's truly called you to carry. Dr. Shiloh also shares wisdom from her powerful book, The Unbothered Button, including what it means to “press” it in everyday life and how to emotionally regulate when boundaries get tested. If you've been feeling stretched thin or spiritually drained, this conversation will remind you: boundaries don't limit your calling, they protect it.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is D Werkmeister, author of the book Volk. Born and raised in Nebraska, Darin Werkmeister now lives outside of Philadelphia PA, where he was an FBI street agent for 21 years. During that time, he investigated White Collar Crime, Organized Crime, Money Laundering, and Domestic Terrorism. While in Philadelphia, he was an eight-year member of the FBI SWAT team. Prior to the FBI he was a Marine Corps officer. VOLK is his first novel. In my book review, I stated Volk is an FBI thriller with a shapeshifter. I can honestly say that I wasn't sure what I would think about this novel and told Darin that I might not be his audience - werewolves are just not my thing. However, his characters are so strong and engaging, and the storyline so realistic (despite the werewolves), that I couldn't put it down. Terri Watson is the main FBI agent. She is working the case of her career when she sees the beast. But who can she tell? Imagine seeing a werewolf and trying to explain that to your boss. Instead, Terri takes matters into her own hands, and the result is ... let's just say a great twist to the normal FBI thriller story! I enjoyed that we see things from Terri's point of view as well as the wolf's. And Darin made it easy by making all of the wolf's thoughts in first person, present tense. It was rather spooky to be in the head of a werewolf, but this change in POV and tense really added to the story. If you love a good thriller/suspense, even if you don't normally go for shapeshifters, I think you'll love this book. I know I did!
