For many life changes, one can point to a specific event that was pivotal for that change in life's direction. In my case, it was a book I read more than ten years ago, and also something that the author mentioned in one of her interviews. Check it out! How many of you like "Twilight"? Take care and stay safe!

Last weekend my family and I went for a long dog walk starting in Bad Ragaz and ending up in the fields of Maienfeld. These names won't mean much to most people. But what if I told you that this is the spot where one of the best-ever selling books was written (no, not mine ;-)) and all the events in the book happened exactly here? Any ideas? Perhaps if I tell you that another name for this place is called Heidiland, you'll probably know what I'm talking about. In 1881 Swiss

I know many of you can't leave your homes. In Switzerland, we still can (provided we keep distance). So I hope that by taking this virtual walk with me today, you get to enjoy the nature at least a little bit :) Take a good care of yourselves, stay healthy and be optimistic! We will get through this! p.s. A reminder: "The Senthien" e-book is free during lock-down :-) https://dl.bookfunnel.com/skbvl4vf0u

This video is for my YouTube subscribers, and today we are celebrating a round number 10! ;-) Join me on a little trip, and I'll tell you what a book from Nicolas Sparks inspired me to do. My wish is that the books I write inspire you in some way too and make you do and feel things in a certain way just because you once read my book :) This, I believe, is a wish I think I share with all other authors. https://youtu.be/sCWsJ7mq8Nc

But it had to happen because this is my passion, and sooner or later, I would have naturally come to be just that—a writer. Do you have a passion of your own? Do you want to follow your dream? Watch this video and see how I changed my path to follow mine. I hope you’ll be inspired to pursue whatever you’re passionate about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0z8293Oy4

A good book is when I can’t wait for my next available free time to sit and read the next few pages. When I read the page on the left and my eyes keep jumping to the page on the right, desperate to find out what will happen. A book that I often rewind: I go back to read a paragraph again and again, because I really liked it. A story where I identify with a character: someone who is good, brave, but still has some minor faults I can relate to. A book where I can tell that the

I bring muddy pawprints on dark wooden floor, Get two yummy bellyfulls but I meow for one more. I jump up high, pressing fly under my right paw, Snatch it, crunch it in two bites, delicious though it‘s raw. I wake up from my midday sleep, I strech, yawn, then sit, I look around for cuddly place. See Mom. Mmm. Good fit. Then I snuggle on her laptop, pressing shift, delete, ignore, She smiles, gives me best of cuddles while I purr and snore. Evening is all quiet, bo
