Amongst others, I am currently working on the following projects:
Das Mädchen aus dem Main (German, working title)
On 31 July 2001, a dead girl was found in the river Main, she had apparently been badly abused before her death and then killed. The identity of the girl is still unclear today, just as the perpetrators are still unknown.
The question of what might have happened is the starting point for this novel. Two girls who are born into seemingly different worlds but whose paths still have a lot in common – a lot of things that nobody ever should have to experience.
I was not Seefeldt (German)
Adolf Seefeldt (also: Seefeld) was sentenced to death in 1936 for the murder of 12 boys and executed a few weeks later. But before Seefeldt was arrested, charged and convicted, another suspect was arested in 1935: a commercial traveler, who remained unnamed in the newspaper reports. The man asserted his innocence and hanged himself shortly after his arrest in his cell.
In this novella, this commercial traveler takes center stage – his life, his thoughts, his process of dying.
Weird titles (in English)
Weird titles – that’s what musician Ben Lee was looking for some time ago in order to write a song, and he asked on a creative platform who might come up with the weirdest title. Since one title wasn’t enough for me, I contributed 12 different titles. Many others contributed totels, too, and Ben Lee ended up writing a song which lyrics consisted only of those titles.
To some of my weird titles, I immediately came up with an ideas, sometimes whole stories, and so I started writing a story for each of the 12 weird titles. Short and long, funny, sad, tragic, optimistic, stories for children, for adults. These are “weird titles”.
#picstories (in English)
What do you expect when you see a picture of a few pens? Or of a plastic bag? Not much? Then you should alter your expectations.
