Best in Landshut!
Thrilled to be on the Best List 2022 – Auserlesen – from the Youth Jury Landshut with my book Future Fairy Tales. “It’s a collection of stories that shows that fairy tales and the subjects they deal with have lost none of their relevance,” writes the youth jury, summing it up with: “Futuristic fairy tales embedded in a brilliant fantasy frame story.”
The list also functions as the nomination list for the Landshuter Teen Book Prize. Beginning in January school classes, grades 7-10, have the opportunity to read these books in class and then rate them. In the fall, the winners will be announced at a gala reception sponsored by the mayor’s office. Wish me luck!
“Wallflower” in Italiano!
Autumn 2022. So excited! Thirteen years after its first publication my all-age novella “Wallflower” has been translated into Italian. TROVARSI A BERLINO has hit the bookstores! Fantastico!
I’m so excited: my new book, Once upon a Future – Tales from a Distant World, is waiting for you in all good bookshops in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and even Luxembourg! And the first reviews are in too. The bloggers are definitely in agreement: “The author has created a masterpiece with this book!” “The anthology’s variety is exceptional.” “The book is definitely different. Good different.” “I’ve never seen or read the likes of this before.” “A beautifully illustrated and very special fairy tale compilation for the whole family. And a great gift too.” “I could have read on and on.” “The author’s understanding of today’s adolescent world is head-on.” “Fantastic idea!” “Ich liebe es!”
