Dieter Luske - Writer - Canungra - Scenic Rim
Dieter Luske (Lüske—Lueske) is a writer and author who works from his home office just 4 km outside of Canungra. He loves creating with Giselle, his artist wife, in their enchanted organic garden, dabbles in art and music, and writes whenever the creative juices are flowing.
Dieter is the author of 7 books and has published hundreds of holistic lifestyle philosophy articles.
Dieter's first published book (1993} is "Do You Believe in You?" a self-help book that resulted from 11 years of consulting and facilitating mind management seminars.
Dieter graduated in 1981 in Medical Hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Counselling, Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Medical Herbalism, and Clinical Nutrition.
In 1999, Dieter founded useNature.com, an online Holistic Natural Health and Lifestyle Directory, which has been the primary Natural Health Directory in Australia up to 2010 and still to this day is a significant go-to website for articles, books, art and lifestyle news comments and recommendations.
Born and educated in Germany, Dieter studied Electrotechnics and Electronics, graduated as the youngest ever with a Master's degree and had his first business at age 21. A few years later he realised "there is more to life than just earning a living".
In 1974 Dieter and Giselle left Germany on a two-and-a-half-year Australia discovery tour. They lived and travelled throughout Australia in a panel van, took a few thousand pictures (slides) and wrote stories about their travels for German magazines.
Dieter's book, "It Happened in the Seventies", a Sea Change Story, revisits that exciting time and focuses on those life-changing events. - View the photos.

A writer's working space:It’s called a working space, but it never feels like work. I enjoy writing, and luckily, it comes easily to me.I write in a style called “Pantser,” meaning to “fly by the seat of my pants.” I write without a detailed outline or plan. I let intuition guide me, and I don’t know exactly how the story will unfold. To make that work, without being blocked by doubt, one has to have the ability to trust one’s intuition. The opposite of a pantser is a “plotter,” who utilises outlines or detailed plans to structure their novel. - I tried that once, but felt it stifled my creativity. I write most days but don’t have a precise writing schedule. I don’t need to get into the mood; I can sit down anytime and start writing. I use two computers, a newer one for writing, designing, book formatting and marketing. The other one is mainly for web design work. I don’t have to set the stage for writing; I don’t need much: a comfortable chair, coffee, music in the background, and a good view out of my window to encourage dreaming. That’s it, my creative working space. Here are a couple of pictures of my writing space:

The Hamburg YearsThat book has been published away from prying eyes.That little guy is Dieter, age 5. He walks by himself to a playground, which is three blocks away. You could do that in the fifties in Hamburg. We (kids) knew we were not allowed to talk to strangers. - But I did, didn't I? The guy had a camera and wanted to take a picture of me - what an honour. Surely, he couldn't be considered a stranger. I gave him my name and address. He needed it to contact my parents to buy the picture :-) Wow, I knew my address at the age of five—credits to me. I grew up a latchkey kid, self-dependent, and looking out for myself. That sounds interesting. Should I make it into a book for the public to see? |
