Your're talking about Andreas Eschbach? I like some of his novels, too.
BTW, he is also a member of the Scrivener forum.

Yes. Good writer, helpful guy.

Andreas had great influence on the development of Papyrus Autor,
especially the style checker, which makes Papyrus unique. There is
nothing like that in German software and I do not see anything similar
in English software. What is more: Papyrus also includes an adapted
edition of the Duden spell and grammar checker - that software used to
be available for Microsoft Office and OpenOffice but was discontinued a
few months ago. But the makers of Papyrus say that their cooperation
with the Duden developers will continue.

I do not know whether and when a English edition of Papyrus will come
out. I'd say that the style checking features would have to be developed
from scratch maybe based on Strunk. We'll see...

Yes, that would have to be the case.
