#PhantastikPrompts zu meinem Debütroman "Edward Corby - Das Erwachen"

3. Welches Geräusch oder Klang tauchen in deiner Geschichte immer wieder auf?

Gute Frage, nächste Frage. 😉 Geräusche spielen tatsächlich nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Sie werden nur erwähnt, wenn man sie braucht. Es gibt keine spezifische Klangkulisse.

It's here! I have received copies of my new Quaker Quicks book, Speaking in Quaker Meeting for Worship: what, when, how, and why. Hopefully that means it will also be reaching bookshops soon - the official publication date is at the end of May.

Finally, someone has noticed that male #authors are disadvantaged in #publishing 🙄
/sarcasm

Cook told The Bookseller: “There has never been an independent publisher that champions literary fiction by men. Which is not to say we won’t publish fiction by women in the future – but the emphasis at first will be on male authors.”

A city at peace in a world at war. ‘The Stockholm Run’ is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland and Sweden during World War Two. It uses many real settings, transported eight decades back in time.

During the war Dundas Castle, south of Queensferry, was taken over by the RAF and became the headquarters of a barrage balloon squadron defending the Firth of Forth against enemy bombers. It has a key role in the early part of the novel.

The image shows a frontal view of Dundas Castle in bright sunlight, though under dark skies. There’s a long shadow of a tree extending out across the grass in the foreground towards the castle. The front cover of 'The Stockholm Run' is shown in the top left corner.

We’re sorry to announce that our new book, Hurt Me Plenty, plus a host of reprints are further delayed until May 21st.
This is due to a delay in receiving stock that is beyond our control.
Thanks for your patience!

I hadn't noticed this before - the library seems oddly specific about the borrowing time: 23.4 days?? 🤔

The library self-service terminal, after I borrowed 3 DVDs - it says for each one that it's "Due in 23.4 days"
