Bottemless Women And Men

Higher The invisible forces of audiobooks


Three years ago I received a statement of VG Wort, which began with the following in the Official German paragraph:

permitted by law since 2003 without the approval not for commercial purposes duplication for, and dissemination only at individuals, unless such access is not to the work already available in a kind of sensory perception on the basis of disability makes impossible, or very, to the extent necessary to enable the access.

Entschwurbelt means and to the point "without authorization" in about the same as: get with hardly a writer, that will eingesprochen of his novels unabridged audio books and Braille libraries such as the German National Library for the Blind in Leipzig (DZB) be borrowed can. Originally related to the above approval clause works in Braille and audio book abridged versions on tape. The CD held the digitized form feed, and with DAISY standard for navigable a global, accessible multimedia documents. The acronym DAISY stands for Digital Accessible Information System (Digital Access Information System). On such a CD audio book fits with more than 40 hours duration. eintrudelte

As then, the VG-letter word, had still been an audiobook cassette of the speech. Since I do not own a tape deck, because I tape the medium (except in early youth) never could get something ready, I was interested in the content hard. So I fixed up the wrote and forgot about it. Again I had reminded him of me when I went this article at Spiegel Online read. More out of boredom, I researched after the LORD GAMMA audio book - and was surprised to learn that it apparently took a box of novel short version is a more than eleven hours full-audiobook CD.

Now it would of course be able to, I am the only one who has so far heard nothing from such audio books. So I called two friendly authors, of which I was sure they would have because of their successes and constraints Bestsellers really need to know something like this: Kai Meyer and Thomas Thiemeyer. But Nope. Instead, big surprise at the other end of the line (s).

The interesting thing about these audio books: blind and visually impaired is not only the world literature, or so-called "high literature" have been made available, but also detective stories, adventure novels and a wide range of SF and fantasy literature. For example, there beside LORD GAMMA example talking books by Thomas Thiemeyer REPTILIA, David Kenlocks DARK FIRE, Marcus Schmitt's Hammer The censor and POLYPLAY and the nearly complete catalogs of Andreas Eschbach and Kai Meyer. The latter was amazed when I told him on the phone, there would be audio books from HEX and THE SPIRIT RATHER, two novels that have not yet even been published as a regular audio books. Produced, these works from the libraries themselves, according to press release "picked up by expressive and exciting actors, radio hosts and trained speakers in three of its own recording studios.

I do not suppose that the DAISY audio book CDs pretty Cover pictures possess. Blind people can use it to do anything anyway. But the fact that they exist at all and know very few writers of this is remarkable. So I hope that I, as author of the work - can be requested from the producers at least one copy - if you do not even God is blind or visually impaired. Many a critic says although there were more authors than readers, but in this case, the loss has probably limited. An adequate cover can be designed so each author then himself.

The produced exclusively for the blind and visually impaired audio books are included for copyright reasons not commercially available, the libraries concerned, they may only offer to their users, a copy of a disabled pass or an informal letter of the ophthalmologist must be provided. Well, at least the rights of LORD GAMMA are now back with me. Is there a case that is against it, to make the audio book of the DZB production at an official, if I give my consent to this? I can hardly imagine that the DZB honored by the speaker makes a worse job as a paid by Lübbe Audio. Why should you present a visually impaired person miserable spoken audiobook?

Who wants to know if his novels exist as audio books should be on the homepage of Medibus , the media research community for blind and partially sighted people - and be prepared for surprises. I would at least like a CD of LORD GAMMA, because I want Michael Schrodt who has read the novel for the DZB, heard it said in the speaker role of an essential Morner "Arr!" ...

How To Tie The Racquetball Strap




Normally, they are authors quite enterprising, when a new book is published, and is committed to a certain degree of media exposure. But when you look at the panorama of the past six months, one might think that each limpet in the port of Hamburg had an eventful life than I do. Time ignoring the fact that I, at least during the past three months back and again had desired, a limpet to be, however, was exactly the opposite. And as the interview in January for the was fantastic coffee, the world was still in order.

I had this item has already been done several times formatted in the editor - sometimes taken shorter, sometimes longer, sometimes serious or even ironic - and would have to "submit" only press. Instead, I've deleted it again and again and turned off the computer - with the conclusion: this is a private matter. A few days or weeks later I began to write him but again, only to then to drive the same game as before.

After exhaustive 2007 was quite clear to me: such a depletion of body and soul I run for a year, but not two. So I focused the first half month of the year exclusively on the story of Black Prophecy, to take from the middle of February, three months, "Roman Holiday". Three months in which I wanted to accomplish in peace the second AION band and my story for the DUNWICH travel guide.

If the plans.

On the morning of 19 February - my so-called Roman holiday was barely 35 hours old - my father died unexpectedly, leaving a large Lot of problems. Since then, I'm busy managing not just simple (and unfortunately very lengthy) procedure with six-figure debt, trade resolution, accountants and undertakers, inheritance, notaries, appraisers, banks, lawyers, etc. to, as my brother and I all thing must unravel alone. Instead of the last six chapters of AION II, I wrote a speech for the funeral service. That did not really fun. Of course, the possibility would have to reject the heritage - but then my brother was sitting almost on the street, as the former home, where he lives with his family, is also part of the heritage. So Eyes and go.

has now shifted the matter for me from the emotional to the sober and factual area. What remains is a feeling that they had been preparing for two years a new race - just barely fifty meters after the start in the first corner to land involuntarily in the gravel. As much as you want to continue the race too: the car is stuck, then it is only on foot. It is not the loss that cripples the work, but the rat tail on annoying, imposed obligations, which keeps us on our toes ever since. The initial "private matter" was therefore always more obvious consequences for current projects.

In recent months I received numerous e-mails from readers, booksellers and editors / publishers, of which I answered but few have - with a few short sentences, which outlined the current situation. Three or four invitations to anthologies were among them, others asked for illustrations or a cover for a book or magazine. Unfortunately, some wait until today for a response. It never played is not exciting or lucrative projects of importance, but simply the lack of time and the fact that I was hardly at home and am - be it to do Behördenkram to clear out a huge house or a 80 x 80 m large grassy plot of land to mow. The few quiet days, which I find to write, I use almost exclusively for AION II

At this point, so a big SORRY for all unanswered mail and review requests from the past 100 days. The problem with writing books and stories (and reasonably comprehensive reply mail) is currently not not will, but do not. For this reason, I would instantly make it a project commitments, because they were built on very shaky legs. Please no requests for more contributions for story anthologies, illustrations for stories or magazine covers! I would love to promise you, but I can not perceive them. While I hope that the situation eased somewhat in early June, but Murphy's law I do not trust on the road.

Anyway, the AION world keeps turning. It was originally for band 2, which is done to 3 / 4, being considered in February 2009 as the release date. Given the rather complex personal situation, we (publisher, agent & I), we however decided to postpone the deadline and the appearance of the second part about 6 months, since I am currently working mostly with "house-and court administration." Currently, I aspire to be published until the summer of 2009, but the last word because, of course, the publisher. I hope so on the understanding and the patience of the readers of the first part. An unfortunate timing, it would hardly be able to give, but now it happened and to not change. AION 2 will be at least a lot more fantastic than part 1, I can reveal that before, because Mira's journey into (and through) the AION worlds only begun ...
