The Romance of Old Shatterhand

Just had an interesting discussion about Old Shatterhand, Old Firehand, and the romance between the young greenhorn (later Old Shatterhand) and Old Firehand's daughter, Helen, on another social channel. A romance between Old Shatterhand and Old Firehand's daughter? http://connect.lulu.com/t5/Shameless-...
Helen is a well-kept secret - a romance that could not be in Winnetou II.
Although Karl May's chronology is just slightly more than messy - as it doesn't really exist - his novels are nevertheless interconnected in one way or another. That's the real romance of Karl May's adventures.

Fun, fun, fun ...

... and sometimes that's what life should truly be about (you can get serious again at some later date).

Finally! FINALLY! I got my studio all worked out and ready. The easel is standing, the brushes ready, the paint pots open ... virtually - that is! Wacom tablet with intuos pen, ArtRage, Aperture, Elements 11 and my antique PS 5.5, and goodness knows what else - oh, yes, that thing with the 'retina display' the new skinny macbook. It's a life-changing experience.

... just spent a full day 'dabbling' ... can't tear myself away from it.

For the Winnetou projects I have planned I truly need all of that ... and my trusty publisher Lulu.com, of course. Karl May wrote a story about a 'self-made man' ... all I can say is: 'selbst ist die Frau' nowadays; you'll work out what I mean.

Only a short one today, as I've got to get back to my current Karl May translation ... one of the 2014 ones.
