Introduction of a new universe
Glad, you're here!
I would like to introduce myself in more detail here, but now devote considerably more attention to my space opera.
I am a little nervous, because I have been preparing my exciting adventures for you English-speaking reader for months. But having worked for an international airline for over 25 years and still at it, I travel so often to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, India, South Africa and many other English-speaking countries, I am quite familiar with your language. And to be honest, I have drawn a great deal of my inspiration from these very countries. So I owe you something.
And so here I am. I am working with full energy (almost at warp speed) on the first two parts of Galactic Journeys and am confident that I will be able to publish the first part this spring. The second part should follow one to two months later, and then the other volumes will quickly follow.
Maybe it will take me a little longer to offer an English version of my webpage step by step. But a good part of it is already done and I am always open to suggestions and ideas for improvement. To be honest, however, I am much better at storytelling and the administrative part of my writing life is a tiresome necessity. I'm sure many readers are familiar with such problems.
I can't wait to get started with Captain Brendan and his galactic adventures. I think I write my Space Opera stories in a very classic way, with a lot of enthusiasm. Classic in this context does not mean boring. On the contrary. However, I do not follow a strategy on my Galactic Journeys that turns thinking completely upside down or goes so deeply into the metaphysical that it approaches deep philosophical ideas. Although I really like philosophy and depth of soul. I live out that part of myself in my Standalone novels. But the Galactic Journeys remain light and fluffy, exciting and just as many people want a space adventurer to be. At least that's what I've often heard.
Sometimes it feels as if I myself were lying in a Cryo-tank, only to awaken after centuries in a bizarre and completely alien solar system, where strange creatures await me and extreme challenges.
It's great fun to travel far from Earth to escape everyday problems for at least a few hours. So I invite you to go on a journey with Captain Brendan and to stumble into situations from which he often believes he cannot escape. But somehow he probably always does.
You can expect many worlds populated by humans in a very distant future. Be sure, there are aliens as well! Although they are usually not the ones to be mistrusted. But who knows? The unexpected and the twists of fate often steer stories in unusual directions. All too often, Captain Brendan can't keep up and finds himself in situations through no fault of his own that he would have much preferred to avoid.
The plan is now as follows:
In March/April 2025, I would like to present you the first volume of Galactic Journeys. Six more volumes will follow, and my other books are also waiting to be translated into English.
I am also considering translating my Standalone novels, this time in the genre of Hard Sci-fi. I hope to be able to travel in time to get everything done quickly. As a self-publisher and completely independent author, I would actually like to have eight arms and the aforementioned warp drive to do justice to my esteemed readers – to you!
I hope you enjoy meeting Captain Brendan, his quirky household bot Felicitas, the very headstrong Amavirid Green and a rather affected android called Click-Click. Not to mention his spaceship Chrys with her centuries-old intellect.
Warmly.
