Also, in diesem Buch, möchte ich gerne meine Cover zur Schau stellen. Darunter gibt es auch Cover die ich bereits für andere auf Anfrage erstellt habe, sowie auch eigene, einfach so erstellte Cover - Premade Cover. Es ist so, dass ich nach einer Pause einiges umgestellt habe und sich in der Zwischenzeit wohl auch mein Stil geändert zu haben scheint, weswegen dieser Eintrag auch erneuert wurde.
WICHTIG
Ich biete die gezeigten Premade Cover an, sowie meine Dienste als Designer für ein individuelles Cover auf Bestellung.
Am Besten lest ihr hierzu jedoch zuerst meine AGB oder seht euch für Informationen direkt auf meiner Website um.
Mein Forte war bisher immer Fantasy, Mysterie und auch Dunkles allgemein.Nicht so gut, aber sicher nicht unmöglich, sind dabei Comedy und leider auch Romance. Ich nehme in der Regel aber dennnoch jede Herausforderung an - falls nicht, bekommt ihr auch eine passende Begründung, solange es nicht zu offensichtlich ist, wie Beispielsweise ein Verstoß gegen etwas, das ich in den AGB angemerkt habe.
Diese stehen dort nämlich nicht zum Spaß und sind voll und ganz von mir, aus Erfahrung geboren und sowohl für euch als auch für mich, um eine Zusammenarbeit entweder reibungslos von Statten gehen zu lassen oder aber im Voraus direkt auszuschließen. Denn was nicht zusammengeht, geht nicht zusammen, da hilft dann auch kein Drücken.
Lest es euch also erst einmal durch und versucht es dann - fragen kostet ja nichts; bei mir sowieso nicht. Keine Sorge, ich beiße schon nicht ;)

The Dreaming Treasure
The Lake Avia Tour

A young couple travels by car around a lake in Marshland, within the Portobello coast.
The tour they perform brings them several memoirs about an ancient treasure, supposedly brought there by the Normans when founding a colony in Murtoyland, a small town on the edge of lake Avia.
The treasure hunt begins guided by some old maps the protagonists carry with them.
Although, will they ever reach such a treasure?
During my life as a student, I lived in a shared house – a cottage with doors and windows all the time very well maintained and painted, in a street by the High School. The Landlady outstanding for her waxed floor, and, alas!, if her guests or even her children, put at shoe or a toe, out of carpets inside ways!
To reach our rooms, we had to endeavour through a narrow corridor with access to a staircase, covered by a red plastic carpet.
Our rooms were a sort of tiny little closets which walls leaned to some divans, tables and chairs. At the top of the stairs, in between rooms, the common wardrobe.
By noon, we stood at the school's gate, shaking our heads, nodding, looking at the sad marks obtained in the tests assessed and delivered by our teachers – or cogitating about having been invited during lesson to approach the blackboard. Beautiful object was, no doubt, that black-heavy-slate attached to the wall, looking moreover like a sad night rather than an object made of stone. It was a sort of consolation prize after the small framed slate that we carried along with manuals in Primary School: instead of transporting it, we were, thereby it, carried on during lessons.
After school, by noon, I went home for lunch where I could immediately feel the habitual chickpea-soup-ill-fated smell.
Sitting at the table, eating the bloody chickpea-soup and listening to the news, as Radio Renaissance was all the time tuned up throughout the building. Portobello's news service was usually concerned, about events that just happened to occur abroad. This was followed by a comedy of the preference of our hostess, a woman of dried breasts and feelings who boasted her guests to be anaphylaxis, well treated, very clean and tidy. We were a sort of pets, entrusted by our stupid mums to others of the same resemblance, who, in turn, entrusted us to our teachers.
Our readings and hobbies contained affinities to some techniques used in treasure discovery and excavations, so, as to operate on firm land and underwater, such as the use of diving technique using bottled oxygen and mask.
In my Grammar School year 8, by remarkable coincidence, the nine subjects that comprised the curriculum for that year, were ministered by nine different young female teachers. In the awakening of sexuality, spending the whole day listening to beautiful, well dressed masters, chattering about numeracy and literacy was, indeed, very exciting. Staring all day turning our eyes to the knees of some less prudish young governesses, or to be lucky enough to glimpse [mehr]

Kritiken:
"Habe das Buch in einem Rutsch durchgelesen und dabei viel gelacht. Danach war ich deprimiert und hatte Albträume!" L.H.
"Wenn du weiter so bescheuert schreibst, dann lernst du nie eine Frau kennen." (Diese Antwort bekam ich anonym, als ich meine Comedy-Antwort auf eine Chiffre-Anzeige einer jungen Dame verschickte).
"Habe dein Buch gelesen und mit dir gelacht und mitgelitten. Der Stil hat mich an Charles Bukowski erinnert." Ein Freund.
Der Autor:
Ich bin seit 22 Jahren manisch-depressiv und habe dieses Buch geschrieben, um meine Seele reinzuwaschen. Herausgekommen ist ein sehr kurzweiliges, spannendes Buch über einen schüchternen Jungen, der durch seine Umwelt krank wurde. Es ist aber auch ein positiver Erfahrungsbericht, der zeigt, wie man mit solch einer Krankheit umgehen kann. Dabei ist es sehr unterhaltsam. Zum Schluß meiner Abenteuer gebe ich noch Tipps, wie man mit einer psychischen Krankheit umgehen kann.
Leseprobe:
Es ist dunkel und warm. Ich fühle mich gut. Nichts kann mir passieren. Dieses Gefühl der Sicherheit werde ich nie vergessen. Plötzlich eine Erschütterung. Ich rutsche und schlittere nach unten. Das gleißende Licht blendet mich noch für Minuten. Dabei bin ich mehr mit Schreien beschäftigt. CUT.

Wußte nach der Hauptschule nicht, was ich machen soll. Das Tischler-praktikum war nicht ganz so erfolgreich. Der Boß kam am Ende an und meinte:“Hey, werde Gärtner, Schlachter, aber bitte kein Tischler!“. Das Praktikum beim Klempner im Dorf war auch nicht besser. Das Hanf hatte ich schnell aufgeraucht, und wie man ein Rohr verlegt, wußte ich immer noch nicht

Februar: Die Arbeit läuft wie geschmiert. Werde nach Kiel versetzt. Mom ist stolz auf mich (hatte ich von meinem Samenspender nie gehört). Am ersten Tag fange ich morgens um neun an und vergesse, daß ich nach Mitternacht nicht mehr ins Parkhaus komme (bin sehr manisch,Zeichen dafür: bin fitter, komme mit wenig Schlaf aus). Arbeite die N8 durch.
Mache eine Liste mit sechsunddreissig Punkten, was zu ändern und zu verbessern ist. Am Nachmittag ist die Besprechung mit meinen Teamleitern und dem Vorgesetzten. Fühle mich immer noch topfit. Mittags um drei schickt mich mein Boss nach einem Dreißig-Stunden-Tag (Zeichen der Manie: schlafe wenig) nach Hause. Er freut sich über meine Arbeit. Ich fahre los, bin irgendwann auf der Autobahn. Nach einiger Zeit wache ich auf und fahre immer noch auf der Autobahn!!! Die Augen fallen mir wieder zu. Fühle mich gut. Wache irgendwo zwischen Kiel und Bordesholm auf. Fahre schnell auf einen Parkplatz. Nach einer Stunde Schlaf fahre ich nach Schleswig. Glaube, jetzt den richtigen Zeitpunkt gefunden zu haben, meine Komikerkarriere zu starten... [mehr]

The Paintings of Q. Wang

Spirit: The Paintings of Q. Wang is a collection of contemporary paintings by Q. Wang, a current resident of Southern California. In this “Coffee table” style of high-quality art-book of 44 selected works of artist Q. Wang created during the period from 2006 through 2010, are displayed with only title and date of origin; leaving the viewer to “feel the art”, or as stated in the Preface, “hear the music” without the distraction of a narrative.
Working with acrylic over conventional sized canvases, Q. Wang’s work is easily categorized as being modern art, abstract, using color and lines in very unique and impressive ways. Although, admittedly Q. Wang openly discusses his attraction to the art of Maurice Utrillo, I sense some subliminal influence by other renowned artists. I feel the American legend Alexander Calder aligned with his floating shapes; along with aspects reminiscent of Andy Warhol in his Hillary Clinton portrait; Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gough with some cubism. This said, the originality of Q. Wang stands on his own merit with a fundamental Asian influence. Just as it is obvious to a viewer if a picture on a wall is hung at an angle, not being straight, it is amazingly impressive how parallel, perpendicular, round and exact the geometric shapes are within Q. Wang’s work. He definitely has a highly advanced mathematical spatial relation aspect to his art, resulting in hypnotizing introspection and, in my case, a highly emotional impact. His core talent brings simplicity in shape and form. One of, if not my true favorite, is titled, Woman. In it, Q. Wang takes a red circle, two red domes and a red triangle placed over horizontal colored backgrounds bringing to mind a “nude” like some Hermann Rorschach inkblot test revealing my own thoughts. Other favorites of mine are titled Kiss and Lovers, where two “stick figures” embrace each other, one yellow and one red, over a green background. Just as universal highway and building signage uses stick figures to represent men and women with respect to safety or even a restroom, these figures are international and global in its representation of the love within humanity.
I could go on and talk about Q. Wang’s use of dimensional relations in his landscapes, or his obvious sense of passion for a lady he painted, or even the comedy within his work; but to understand his work you simply need to see it. This book is beyond excellent as a showcase for his talent. Next to having the opportunity to visit a gallery with his work, this book can be easily bought and will truly embellish the library of any art-loving collector. As the famous French film producer Jean-Luc Godard said, “It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to.” Q. Wang has taken me further into the appreciation of my surroundings, people, and love. That is what art is all about.

A Child's History Of England

Charles John Huffam Dickens (/ˈtʃɑrlz ˈdɪkɪnz/; 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period.[1] During his life, his works enjoyed unprecedented popularity, and by the twentieth century he was widely seen as a literary genius by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue to be widely popular.[2][3]
Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens was forced to leave school to work in a factory when his father was thrown into debtors' prison. Although he had little formal education, his early impoverishment drove him to succeed. Over his career he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas and hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.
Dickens sprang to fame with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity, famous for his humour, satire, and keen observation of character and society. His novels, most published in monthly or weekly instalments, pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication.[4][5] The instalment format allowed Dickens to evaluate his audience's reaction, and he often modified his plot and character development based on such feedback.[5] For example, when his wife's chiropodist expressed distress at the way Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield seemed to reflect her disabilities, Dickens went on to improve the character with positive features.[6] His plots were carefully constructed, and Dickens often wove in elements from topical events into his narratives.[7] Masses of the illiterate poor chipped in ha'pennies to have each new monthly episode read to them, opening up and inspiring a new class of readers.[8]
Dickens was regarded as the literary colossus of his age.[9] His 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, is one of the most influential works ever written, and it remains popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre. Set in London and Paris, his 1859 novel, A Tale of Two Cities, is the best selling novel of all time.[10] His creative genius has been praised by fellow writers—from Leo Tolstoy to George Orwell and G. K. Chesterton—for its realism, comedy, prose style, unique characterisations, and social criticism. On the other hand Oscar Wilde, Henry James and Virginia Woolf complained of a lack of psychological depth, loose writing, and a vein of saccharine sentimentalism. The term Dickensian is used to describe something that is reminiscent of Dickens and his writings, such as poor social conditions or comically repulsive characters.[11] [mehr]

Abbie Farwell Brown (August 21, 1871 – March 5, 1927)[1][2] was an American author.
Brown was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the first of two daughters of Benjamin F. Brown, a descendant of Isaac Allerton, and Clara Neal Brown, who contributed to The Youth's Companion. Her sister Ethel became an author and illustrator under the name Ann Underhill. Her family, for ten generations, had only resided in New England, and Brown herself spent her entire life in her family's Beacon Hill home.[2]
Brown was valedictorian of the Bowdoin School in 1886.[2][3] She then attended the Girls' Latin School, where she was friends with Josephine Preston Peabody. She was the driving force behind the newly created school newspaper, The Jabberwock, named by Brown after the poem by Lewis Carroll. They wrote to Carroll for permission to use the name and Carroll wrote back, wishing them "all success to the forthcoming magazine".[4][5] The school, now Boston Latin Academy, still publishes The Jabberwock. After graduating in 1891, she attended Radcliffe College, graduating in 1894.[1][2]
While at Girls' Latin School, she was contributing pieces to St. Nicholas Magazine, some illustrated by her sister. Starting in 1898, under the pen name Jean Neal she wrote articles for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. She also wrote a one-act comedy called Quits (1896) set at a women's college.[1][2]
The miracles of Saint Werburgh, including her resurrection of a goose, from the Chester Cathedral
Her first children's book, The Book of Saints and Friendly Beasts (1900) was inspired by her first trip abroad, specifically by the carved choir stalls in Chester Cathedral depicting the life of Saint Werburgh. The book retells Christian stories of the animal encounters of various saints. Brown would write other collections retelling old tales for a contemporary child audience. Her In the Days of Giants (1902) featured stories from Norse mythology and remained a standard text in libraries for several generations. Tales of the Red Children (1909), co-written with James MacIntosh Bell, featured Canadian Indian folklore.[1][2]
Original stories by Brown include The Lonesomest Doll (1901), The Flower Princess (1904), John of the Woods (1909), and The Lucky Stone (1914). She wrote several volumes of children's poetry, including A Pocketful of Posies (1901) and Fresh Posies (1908). Her books of adult poetry, including Heart of New England (1920) and The Silver Stair (1926), were less successful.[1][2]
Brown wrote song lyrics for the Progressive Music Series by Silver, Burdett and Co. She and composer Mabel Wheeler Daniels wrote the song "On the Trail", which became the official song of the Girl Scouts of the USA. Daniels set Brown's war poem "Peace with a Sword" to music and it was performed by the Handel and Haydn Society in 1917. Brown's only juvenile biography was of a composer, The Boyhood of Edward MacDowell (1924).[2]
Brown was active in New England literary life. She edited the 20-volume Youn [mehr]
