Welcome to the New Year. I truly believe that 2013 will be the year, when eBook readers will soar in countries like Germany and France. Last year, I prepared to become active, and this year I will. Most of my finished novels are translated, and I will begin publishing them one book per month from…
Peter Cruikshank, an aspiring novelist has tagged me as The Next Big Thing. I feel honored that he picked me, especially since he based his decision on my book “Urchin King“. OK, I could have done without the extra work (I’m in the last throws of translating the last German novel into English), but I…
My absolute favorite author is Diana Wynne Jones who died in March 2011 unfortunately. She managed to create something new with every single one of her stories. Not like some big successes (HarryP cough, cough), where the same story repeats with slight variants. Every single one of Diana’s works is unique, the characters so alive…
I know, I have been neglecting this site somewhat lately. It wasn’t on purpose. With the kids on holiday, my schedule went haywire, and I decided to focus on getting me next books ready for publication. In the next months, you can expect at least 5 more eBooks to see the light of day, starting…
First and foremost, one of my short stories was accepted for an anthology that will be published early next year. The best thing is, that they’ll pay for it — not much but I will get free copies too. It’s my first ever paid publication in the USA! Hah! I was so delighted, I spend…
This week, I’m featuring two free books again. I haven’t read anything else from Karen Chance yet because I don’t like to get started on long series but I might just make an exception since I enjoyed these two books a lot. I will also check out some of her other free stories. About “The…
This review Monday nearly became a Tuesday because I got exciting news. My eBook “Urchin King” made it into the semifinals of “The Kindle Review Best eBook 2012” competition in the YA category. I was so surprised that I nearly forgot to write this post. But here we go. I met Will Hahn when he…
First of, I love Fairy Tales in every disguise. If you don’t, this book is not for you. Catspell is the retelling of a little known Fairy Tale called “The White Cat” but it’s so wickedly funny, you don’t recognize the tale until half way through the book. Even then, you can’t predict the outcome.…
Hi, John Byk interviewed me about my eBook Ann Angel’s Freedom and about publishing in Germany in general. If you’ve wondered what I sound like, here’s your chance to listen to me interrupting the moderator all the time (yes, it’s really hard to shut me up when I start). Also, I forgot to say that…
… I thought I had lost all my posts on this first page of my website. Luckily I just moved them accidentally. So now, everything is back to normal. Also, I updated the German part of the site because I published the first eBook available in German and English. Amadi, the Phoenix, the Sphinx, and…
