This book invites you to embark on your writing journey using literary excerpts as inspiration. The 200 quotations from 70 novels by authors from some thirty different countries will open new horizons, allowing your imagination to roam freely. To guide you along the path of writing, 110 themes offer directions that I have personally tested in my own narratives. These themes are designed to illustrate the diverse approaches to a single topic, the multitude of imaginable life scenarios, and to facilitate the implementation of the writing prompt. Now it's your turn to tell your stories and create your own personal writing universe. Publication date: September 1, 2025. Order Press release
Moritz is certainly a tech-savvy cat. He demonstrated this in his previous Moritz Chronicles (Ed Douro), but he also needs nature and genuine social interaction. He has managed to befriend a beech tree. Their dialogues express the deep connection between animal and plant. He hasn't forgotten his fellow felines, however. Moritz and his two cat friends each have their own personal perception of the world, but this won't prevent them from forming emotional bonds. Like all of us, they navigate between reason and feelings. Publication date: February 1, 2024. Order now
Cats don't just sleep. They observe us. Sometimes with a critical, compassionate, or encouraging expression. Moritz goes further. He's connected to the world. He's passionate about current events and deciphers the media. Casually, he raises important issues without overthinking it. By offering his feline perspective on a wide variety of subjects—health, the environment, education, fashion, and even geopolitics—he gives us glimpses of wisdom, well-being, and serenity.
