A collection of raw poetry, reflecting the story of a teenage girl. A journey of letting go in order to find her eudemonia. Memories that can never be forgotten but need to be retold. Chapter one of a story that has only been told for a quarter of her life, because it is time for her to write her own.

In einer zweiten Welt um uns herum gibt es Magie und Geschöpfe aus deiner verrücktesten Fantasie. Nachdem Tiaras Mutter von Monstern entführt wurde, gibt es für Tiara nur noch ein Ziel. Ihre Mutter zu retten. Ihre Reise führt sie in unbekannte Welten und sie muss mehr als ein Abenteuer überstehen. Dies ist der erste Teil einer langen und beschwerlichen Reise. Dieses Buch wird auf Englisch sein, da auch meine Gasteltern aus Amerika es lesen sollen. Aber ich bin kein Muttersprachler.

This is a collection of anecdotes, commentaries, memories and stories about the human life, the tragedy, the joy, the daily moments that define what makes us human. Moments of happiness, dread and uncertainty tell the story of humanity.

Tolstoi begann seinen Roman Anna Karenina einst mit den Worten: "Alle glücklichen Familien sind einander ähnlich, aber jede unglückliche Familie ist auf ihre besondere Art unglücklich." Das lässt sich auch über die Liebe sagen - das Gefühl ist dasselbe, doch der Ausdruck verschieden. All das Schöne und Tragische der Liebe, aber nie gleich. Reflections of a Lover ist eine Sammlung von Gedichten auf Deutsch und Englisch über ein und dieselbe Person. Über die Widersprüche, aber auch die Hoffnung, die sich mit diesem Menschen ergeben. Die Liebe, die zwei Menschen miteinander teilen. All das findet sich hier. In der Hinsicht ist es ein klassischer romantischer Gedichtband, aber auch so viel mehr. Liebe ist zwar universell, aber nie klassisch. So wie in diesem Gedichtband. Eine längst überfällige Liebeserklärung in Buchform. Mit einem Gastbeitrag von BastiChidori.

While predominantly a work of fiction, this tale is based on a real event that took place during the Balkan War of the 1990s. The civil war around Sarajevo is the backdrop to an unexpected love story. We follow the fortunes of a British comedian who travels to the besieged city to bring some light relief to the suffering citizens. Once there, he is invited to help run an unusual contest designed to bring some normality to the citizen's desperate, war-torn lives. This short story is taken from a collection called 'Fonts', where each story is prompted by the name of a font.

People tell you that real life is not like novels, no matter how great they might be. That's not really true though, is it? Because crazy stuff happens to you all the time, meaningless, but crazy stuff. Like how the taste of your cheap lunch changes when the smell of cleansing agent fills the fast food restaurant. Or how you thought the guy who sits by himself in the park is weird, until you notice he's the only one who feeds the ducks in the winter. Or how sometimes, there's so much you want to say, and then you end up saying nothing. Because everyone around you seems to get along with everyone else. You're the only one who asks the strange questions and notices the weird details about people and things, and no one else cares, and that's why no one understands you. Because you're the main character, and nothing you write about matters. Or maybe the words you scribble down are actually the only thing that matters. Maybe life's just a book after all.

I opened the box with hundreds of unknown, unsolved and forgotten stories. Every one of them is unique and I don't want to believe that they are true, but with every story I read for this stupid job, the thought that all these creatures and supernatural sightings aren't the fruits of sick imaginations, grows bigger and bigger...
