Since mid-October, I was just 13 days at home, 9 of them involuntarily with the flu and bronchitis, the obligatory Book Fair souvenir. The rest I spent most of my father's house, clearing out with fun activities such as housing, or conduct banking and Behördenkram. Or I had to Stuttgart to attend court hearings and even more annoying to do Behördenkram. Time is a luxury that I have ever lost in late 2006 during the move to Hanover needs. Therefore here are all relevant news short and compact, because I find myself already back with one leg on the way to Berlin for a community reading Boris Koch ...
all-age reading in Berlin Otherland Bookstore on 29 November
Better late than never, and in a double sense: On Saturday, 29 November, I read the Berlin Otherland Bookstore of the Aion - CHILDREN OF THE SUN, that is together with Boris Koch, who will present his book THE DRAGON WHISPERER. Beginning of the reading is at 20.00 clock, and admission is free.
Originally, the premiere reading of AION have been planned in Otherland already the end of March 2008, fell after the death of my father, but an avalanche burdensome obligations to victims.
moved AION audio book on the summer of 2009
Some one there will be noticed: The announced end of August Audio edition of CHILDREN OF THE SUN is nowhere to be found. The reason is partly technical in the marketing area, on the other hand, in the general shift of the second-AION part about half a year. Jumbo or GoyaLiT aim is a sort of "double publication" on. Meaning: The audio book of AION 1 appears shortly before the publication of AION 2-point output or even together with the audio book of the second part. Either way, everything moves at least until summer 2009.
AION Dilogie
I "hide" following info only a few months ago in a post-Panorama, had more deeply into the whole official: THE AION is not a trilogy, but "just" a two-parter. Since I can the development of the private situation at present is not absolute estimate and avoided as well as publisher, would like that between the publication of Part 2 and take part 3 may have one and a half years, we have agreed, the story of Mira's world-tree search with band 2 To end. And I'm going to leave but one or two back doors open so that could follow at a later stage a self-contained third-AION novel or even a further two-piece. History will not, however, suffer less. It will not be lost or be told even in the Hogfather to an end.
Work in progress
Finally have a short project overview, so I need to answer during the next four or five months to disappear not always separately, but to use the subsequent paragraphs, just copy and paste the function ... ;-)
for publication by THE BLACK MIRROR: Unfortunately, I do not know a precise date of this published in the U.S. anthology of German and Austrian short stories (see the news of 03.06.2008), in representing my after all, already ten years old Story ASTRO SAPIENS is. According to the publisher but the release is imminent (as of 27 October), but the period of the expected appearance also sufficient for the U.S. Internet booksellers from October 2008 to end February 2009. Wait and see ...
addition to AION novels will also appear by mid-2009, three new short stories: Story # 1
is finished and the editor of mine this weekend in Berlin quasi delivered personally. However, I initially wanted to say anything further about the project - especially since its conception traditionally belongs to the publisher. Since the anthology is published by Beltz & Gelberg (at least as much is revealed) will be out in March, is publishing the first message, however, to wait no longer so far behind . Let
to the letter of Story number 2 - my long-overdue review for the Basilisk-Verlag appearing DUNWICH travel guide - I am the most. This is partly because I've worked out their concept and a dozen pages of notes in October last year, but for reasons of timing has not arrived for writing. At the same time it is another chapter in that episode novel on which I already worked sporadically since 1999, and will follow immediately after the events of Endemion. Perhaps I, subsequently to write the same nor the Innsmouth episode for the planned conclusion of the trilogy guide - then would missing to the end of the novel, only three chapters ...
Story number 3 is a contribution to the anniversary edition No. 50 of the Readers Digest Book of youth. But I've in fact an official invitation to participate, but no idea, and the deadline is too far away - in stark contrast to that of the second AION band, for these ends ... argh ... tomorrow!
