Now
the calendar spring is already more than a month old and we are a
little too far away from the corresponding spring-like feelings.
But
even the different varieties of the weather conditions may support us
something good during the time being; they offer us a wide range of
possibilities for literature.
Let
them put us all in the right mood and welcome the funny spring month
May with sunshine and spring feeling temperature.
Frieling-
Verlag – Poetry Contest 2024
As
in the years before, I have given my best within the poetry contest
2024 to reach one of the first places. This hasn’t been the case,
but my poetry has been noticed for being under the best 222
participants of total 731 – isn’t this a very great success?!
My
poetry will be publshed with my colleagues within an extraordinary
book under the title „Du siehst mich nicht“ coming on the market
probably mid of July 2024. I am proud of being also an author in this
book and if you wish to participate the happiness with me – you can
purchase this book in the online-bookshop of my publisher,
Frileing-Verlag, Berlin, and also in the book trade.
A
photo of the poetry contest book 2023 can be seen here!

hours.

Book
Fair Saar 2024 – still LIVE at place :
Live
book fairs are always more funny than online-book fairs and without a
finalized book project (still working on) it’s difficult to be
invited as author for a presentation. Therefore I keep my wonderful
experience made with the online book fairs of the years 2020 and 2021
active which you can still visit on YOUTUBE :
„Samstags war Badetag“ (2020)

„Beim (Ein)topf bleibt es nicht“ (2021)

Enjoy it!
