It’s in the Bookstores!
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!”
Stella Menzel and the Golden Thread (English working title) was published in China this summer. So thrilled that young readers in China will get to know Stella’s Russian-German-American family and their lives in St. Petersburg, New York and Berlin. More about the book here.
Berlinale, Here We Come!
So excited that my Rowohlt Verlag novel Das Rätsel von Ainsley Castle was chosen as one of ten novels to be presented in March with “Books at Berlinale,” an event sponsored by the Berlinale – Berlin International Film Festival with the Frankfurt Book Fair. It offers publishers and agents the chance to pitch their books to internationally established film producers. The working title for the film adaptation of my book is “Double Puzzle.” More about the novel here.
