Nach 938.000 Anschlägen und 138.000 Worten ist die erste Fassung meines "Bauchschmerzprojektes" soeben fertig geworden. Das Wort "ENDE" is written, and I feel after all the work a bit strange. But as it is. Now comes a long break, and then - oh yes, the Expos stand for the next ATLAN trilogy on the plan.
Soso, researchers have grown so the marathon gerbil (sorta Duracell edition). This reminds me of the mutated Rennvirpine Thrint of which have been bred by researchers, of course not, but from the stupid Tnuctipun slave. Before then created the Bandersnatch, huge meat supplier with oversized brains (because their brains are a delicacy). Of course, the Bandersnatch not think they will even eat . But of course, the swindle Tnuctipun their brutal masters, and the Bandersnatch are highly intelligent and prepare for the Tnuctipun Revolution.
But in the beginning it was all about the Rennvirpine. honor!

has today announced it: The new FanPro trilogy about the adventures of the immortal Arkoniden - Emperor ATLAN published in December 2010 under the promising name "Star Splitter".
start the series with the novel divers the lava flow from the pen of the "new" ATLAN -author Oliver Fröhlich. Das phantastische Titelbildstammt stammt wie gewohnt von Arndt Drechsler (der diesmal tatsächlich mit Lava zu Werke gegangen sein muss), die Exposees aus der bewährten Werkstatt von Michael Marcus Thurner . Ich freue mich schon darauf, den Roman in Händen zu halten - spannende und kurzweilige Unterhaltung ist garantiert!
Gleichzeitig ist es ein Startschuss , selbst wieder Papier und Stift ( ok , das Notebook ) herauszukramen , denn wer weiß, was kommt - nach der Trilogie ist schließlich, wie unser Fußballfan Achim Mehnert sagen würde, vor der Trilogie ...
Es war im Sommer 2009, als mich eine Fügung der modernen Industriewelt überraschend für einen Tag in die USA verschlug - eine einzigartige Gelegenheit für technische Gespräche, die nicht ungenutzt verstreichen durfte.
Der Flug war chaotisch. Unter anderem fehlten, als die 747 in Amsterdam vom Gate ging, noch die Kollegen, die alle wichtigen Informationen - welches Hotel, wo findet das Treffen statt, mit wem denn eigentlich genau, usw. - in den Taschen respektive Köpfen hatten. Nur eine Nachricht auf meiner Mailbox führte mich schließlich ins richtige Hotel (Danke, Daniela!), das Hyatt Regency in Detroit/Dearborn, gleich neben Ford (well, all Detroit is "right next to Ford). But the room was nice and big. Then came
by tension and jet lag. Despite fatigue was not to think of sleep. Outside, the sun was shining ... In addition, a huge hotel that you are in effect by itself, boring and depressing. Alone and to go on trips, I also was not used to. What we do - the bar?
Finally, I followed my old habit of exploring the area on foot. This has caused in my former "adopted country" South Africa has plenty of head shaking, and no less in the U.S. - a view in google earth immediately shows why: In addition to the hotel and a giant Mall in the center of a nearly endless parking lot (ok, and a few trees), there are around the Hyatt nothing you could be so easily reached on foot (except Ford).
But the air was beautiful and smelled why some unknown reason actually to cotton candy, coupled with my tiredness probably mean - hah! - Has awakened of adventure. I also heard from somewhere, music ... The trail led
me to a really nice restaurant ("The Big Fish"), full of lively, young people and with an ample supply of ice cold beer (I love it). Abroad, it is usually quick with the people in conversation, then, again, at the open-air bar, where a small band played really good. Fish balls on plates wandered, more beer was flowing, a detached himself from the round, for he was the guitarist for the band, and his break was over. The evening was entertaining and really nice, and the U.S. rummaged in spite of the crisis, which was already hit real inroads in Detroit, out of all their hospitality, and the tired guest from 'good ole Europe "felt a fiddle.
came almost exactly a year later in the same place the following YouTube video. By the way, who typical blue rock ballad stuff with good instrumentation, may I recommend the song "Bob's Tavern" by Pat Brennan - that was the keyboard player, and my "beer buddy" Dan spielt darauf die Gitarre, und der Saxophonist - nun der mache durchgehend Musik und hatte kaum Zeit zum Bier trinken ...
PS: Ich nenne zwar das gleiche Keyboard mein Eigen, aber damit hören auch schon die Parallelen auf ...
