I love putting myself behind my desk and write, think of what I want to narrate and write again. It is a very independant life, if you can afford it.

How to picture my heroes?
I only started to add the illustrations in March 2012, just to add something extra for all those tablet and smart-phone readers. (Can you believe I mostly read from my smart-phone nowadays?), causing my German translator Andreas von Pronay a few more gray hairs as he had to go back into the (completed) German novels to see whatever I changed.

“Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring barque,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.”
― Great Sonnets
