Starting my thread with this essay about my books & my cats. I created it a few years ago & keep it updated. It's whimsical, it makes me happy, and it's a good intro to my writing. I hope you enjoy it.

Note: All images in the blog post had alt-text last I checked. Book pages on my site should all have alt descriptions as well. Should. It's a work in progress.

hat Franz Doppler . Er wurde 1821 in der heutigen geboren. Für uns sind er und sein Bruder Karl wichtig, weil sie einerseits Instrumentalvirtuosen waren, die weit herum gekommen sind, andererseits aber auch tolles Zeug komponiert haben. In der Musikwelt gibt es noch mehr solcher Paare. Darum dreht sich folgender Text.

Seit über zwei Jahren schreibe ich für den einen Flötenblog. Ab und zu habe ich Euch hier schon mal Texte davon vorgeschlagen. Hier ist der Link zum ganzen Blog, schaut doch mal rein. So speziell, also nur für Flötisten, ist der gar nicht. Es gibt viele Musikbeispiele und so manche interessante .

Sep 27 What is the strangest research you've done for your writing?

When I was writing Herakles and the Cyprian Centaur, I researched horse cocks for the centaur character and came across a zoophilia message board that was both incredibly helpful for my writing and incredibly weird to read. I thought nothing could faze me but it turns out learning about how to give oral sex to a pony did 😅

Sitze jetzt in der Mittagspause mit Notebook in einem Café und frage mich, wer eigentlich die Idee aufgebracht hat, dass das Arbeiten an solchen Orten so toll sein soll. Also, ja, ich kann Mails lesen und beantworten, aber für alles andere fehlt mir dann doch mein Schreibtisch und der zweite Bildschirm (ja, Luxusproblem, ich weiß) und überhaupt.
Aber es ist angenehm ruhig, und gleich gönne ich mir noch ein Stück Kuchen.

@andijah Kommt halt auf den Beruf an. Die Cafésitzer sind ja allesamt wir Autorinnen.😎 Also, wir sitzen im Café, wenn's am eigenen Swimmingpool zu kühl ist und wenn wir den Champagnerdunst mal wieder mit Koffein auflösen müssen. Gleichzeitig gucken wir viel rum oder quasseln, das nennt man dann "Leute beobachten", "einen Plot entwickeln". Diese Außenwirkung erzielt man auch eher als am Swimmingpool. @writers

Do me a favor? Help me pick out a tagline for my Mike.Sierra.Echo query letter. Lit agents ask for taglines in query letters. A tagline serves two purposes: to make a memorable, positive phrase that customers remember and helps them identify your book. I wrote all evening and came up with these. Now I need your help to pick the best one that grabs your attention.

Make sense what I'm asking? Polls only let you post 4 options so I'm posting this in the microblog - post the number of the tagline you like:

  1. Getting to space is a lot easier than getting away from Grandma ...
  2. From loss to joy and back again
  3. Sometimes you have to leave Earth to find home
  4. "The end of everything is the beginning of everything else"
  5. "I go where you go kid. Let's look at some stars ..."

The Coffee Pot Book Club concludes with:

Intriguing Historical Discoveries from the Rabbit Hole – by Wendy J. Dunn!

When your research takes you down the rabbit hole, and you get lost... 😁 I'm sure that's a feeling many of us are familiar with!

I know this might seem an odd request, but I'd like to celebrate the removal of my first novel's edition from . It was published by a now-defunct small press that went out of business in early 2019 and orphaned a lot of books, so if anybody had bought the Kindle edition of Without Bloodshed since then I wouldn't have gotten paid.

The only reason my 2013 debut is still on Amazon is that secondhand print copies are available for sale. Now I can go full if I want.
