Conceived and created in the midst of lockdown, my new baby — uh, I mean book — arrives in March 2022 in German!
Stella Menzel and the Golden Thread (English working title) was published in China this summer. So thrilled that young Chinese readers will get to know Stella's Russian-German-American family and their lives in St. Petersburg, New York and Berlin. More about the book here.
So excited that my Rowohlt Verlag novel “Das Rätsel von Ainsley Castle” was chosen as one of ten novels to be presented in March with “Books at Berlinale,” an event sponsored by the Berlinale - Berlin International Film Festival with the Frankfurt Book Fair. It offers publishers and agents the chance to pitch their books to internationally established film producers. The working title for the film adaptation of my book is “Double Puzzle.” More information behind the link.
