It's been a long time since I backed this, today it arrived.

Never read the novel. Never watched the show. I bought this because of @colleendoran.bsky.social -- so her vision of the characters will be my first contact with their story

Mit das Beste daran, mal wieder was Geschrieben zu haben, ist, dass der ganze Lesungstrubel wieder losgeht.

Und gute, alte Freunde im Saarland haben sich die Premierenlesung gesichert. Ich freue mich sehr!

After the last book is before the next one. Plotting will be a bitch, so I'm trying something new this time

Das Cover. Es wurde auf meine Bitte hin von Federico #Musetti geschaffen, der bereits die Bücher von @lemander.bsky.social illustrierte.

Fun fact: Er wohnt etwa eine Stunde von der Casa Magni (das Haus auf dem Cover) entfernt
