About HMW Publications
HMW Publications is a small company I created so I could publish my butterfly and moth books and also the story of my experiences as a young girl growing up in Germany during and after WW II.
I was born in Domnau, County Bartenstein, East Prussia (Ostpreussen), Germany in 1938. In January of 1945 we fled from the Russian invasion. In 1958 I came to the United States in order to improve my English. I had planned to return to Germany after two years, but I stayed, married and raised a family instead.
I live in southwest Missouri and have collected, studied, observed and photographed Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) in the Ozark Region for over 30 years.
Most of the photographs you will see here were taken in my butterfly garden.
