This is hugely embarrassing and upsetting to me. "A Song for Ghosts" officially launched on February 23rd. I do know of some purchases made. Apparently my provider does NOT know of these. Whether there was a mistake in the trasmission from platform to provider or some other techincal issues remains to be seen, but for my provider to look into it I need to proove that their claim of zero sales is faulty. If you can and feel comfortable to do so, I would be beyond grateful if you could send me a proof of purchase (a screenshot maybe, and anonymized) where the purchase date, the platform and of course, the title of my book are visible. You can send these either via DMs or per email at [email protected] I'm sure my provider is as anxious as I am to resolve this issue. Also, please rest assured that everything provided by you will be only used on my end as proof to my provider and deleted once this is done. #writerslife #technologyisthebaneofmyexistence #asongforghosts https://www.instagram.com/p/B-or0QQqQh7/?igshid=fdi2gbtcvz0n

Only today, only today! Today is the last das you can get "A Song for Ghosts" for only 1,99€ at https://bit.ly/2PkcnYd History is your thing? Drama is your jam? You like opera? You wanna read about character who brazenly combine capes with red striped pirate trousers? Hit it up! And if you wanna hit me up instead - march 14th I'll be in Leipzig at the #queerbookfair at the booth of @obscurcouleure.v #asongforghosts #writing #novel #obscurcouleur https://www.instagram.com/p/B9eE3B0A9GZ/?igshid=19pgrygecnfop

The suitcase was packed, everything was ready and I was hyped for #LBM2020 - but sadly, today the organizers announced that in consideration of current events and developments a convention of this size and scale would be irresponsible to hold. I cannot say that I don't see the point. I do. And I can only thank the organizers for having fought so hard until the end so we would have a convention. But in the end the health and lives of potentially thousands of people is more important. I'm honestly grieving, a little. This would have been the convention to show off "A song for Ghosts", my first major publication and I was bouncing at the thought. The LBM is the time to meet old friends and make new ones and I'm a bit at a loss at what to do. But well, there's an upside to everything. This year I would have introduced the ebook of "A song for Ghosts". Next year however? "A Song for Ghosts" as ebook AND as a print, ready for you to touch and leaf through and even better - it won't come alone. This time next year, the follow-up, "An Ode to Life" will probably be out already and the thought of presenting two novels actually makes me happy again. How did you take the news? Where you planning on coming? What will you do to fill the time? #writing #writerslife #nolbmnoproblem (but really, it is) #asongforghosts #anodetolife https://www.instagram.com/p/B9SFr_RqWtv/?igshid=1htpv4x5eoya0

Less than two weeks! Only thirteen days! And then? Then the #lbm2020 will open its gates again and for four glorious days the madness only a large scale convention for literature, comics and manga can bring. And I'll be smack in the middle of it. Meet me there! I'll be dashing around all over the place, but most of the time I'll be in Hall 1 booth D400 with the @obscurcouleure.v - So drop by, hang out, say hi! We'll have comics, novels, novellas, anthologies, buttons - we have cushions! - published both by the obscurcouleur association and the individual members, s olots of fun stuff for everyone. And for those who want to take a look at #asongforghosts - I'm currently preparing booklets of chapter 1 to leaf through and take a good look at! I'm so excited! https://www.instagram.com/p/B9GpUx8qReO/?igshid=t2sji91bqsae

Snippet time! Ivan laid at his side, an arm idly thrown over Garvanos' stomach, his head leaning against Garvanos' chest. Garvanos' free hand lazily ran through his hair as he read, occasionally interjected by Ivan finishing a sentence or providing one half of the dialogue, but it grew less and less frequent as Ivan's voice got heavier and his speaking slower, his accent thicker. Curious? You can get the novel here https://bit.ly/2PkcnYd and for a very limited time pay only 1,99€. #asongforghosts #novel #queerromancenovel #historicalfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/B9C7M5Kq0rC/?igshid=l5l8efo93bv
