A year ago, I launched this blog as an idle outlet for my thoughts and ideas. As sprinkles of genuine attractiveness you will find cute photos of our dog Sherlock. It is a nod to the internet: puppies always sell!
One these pages, some content is in German and most in English. Despite all hiccups, I am happy to report, that it did indeed help me with my original plan: after a very long hiatus, I got back to writing and finished the draft to my second novel.
