Dorothee Kocks is the author of two books, the historical novel The Glass Harmonica: A sensualist's tale, and the nonfiction Dream a Little. For half her life, she took a traditional academic path. She earned a PhD in American Studies from Brown University, wrote a well-respected scholarly book, and climbed the tenure ladder at the University of Utah. Then she picked up an accordion for the first time. Music inspired a life change that entailed traveling the world in search of old instruments, funded by various day jobs including a stint as a kitchen hand in Alaska. Dorothee's writing has been called "rich" and "evocative." Early reviewers praise The Glass Harmonica as an "unforgettable saga" that "perfectly combines the novelist's and historian's skills." Like the characters in her book, Dorothee has led something of an itinerant life. Born in Germany, she now lives at the foot of the Wasatch Range in Salt Lake City, Utah, where she worked as an assistant professor of U.S. history at the University of Utah and for a leading online university.
