April NEWS Hey Reader, It is April. Spring is here—on the calendar, at least. While my friends in Germany are mowing their lawns, I am examining the lawn in my part of the world to see if a few blades of grass might soon make an appearance. The buds on the trees in our garden are swelling. The red blossoms on my maple trees have already opened. Soon their green leaves will appear. It’s brighter these days. The days are longer. And the sky in the early morning is wonderful. Here's a view from...

March NEWS Hey Reader, It's March. Spring is coming to my part of the world. Finally! I can barely wait for it! In another of my worlds, in the world where Anna and her family and friends live, there is also spring. Do you want to take a look? After the winter holidays, the students in Class Three continued their education in Healing Arts, Animal Communication, Plant Communication, Mental Defense, and in their special subjects. It seemed to Anna as if the snow, which sometimes fell gently,...

February 2026 NEWS Hey Reader, It's February. Still winter. But also the month of Valentine's Day, when we celebrate friendship and romantic love. As an author, when I think of friendship and romantic love, Francisca comes to mind, that wonderful young girl from 1850 who was brought to life by my heart and soul. Oh, what heartache she has experienced! That's what she wrote in her diary: Now I'm sitting on the chair in front of the dressing table and looking at myself in the mirror. So, that's...

DECEMBER NEWS Hey Reader, It’s cold outside in my part of the world. The ground is covered in snow. Birds are gathering at our bird feeders. Squirrels try to get their share. The nights are long and dark. Time to light candles! In another of my worlds, in the world where Anna and her family and friends live, there is summer. It is the time when Inara, the Mongolian Princess, arrives. Do you want to take a look? “They are here!” Benjamin shouted. Anna, Martha, Henry, Benjamin and their animals...

OCTOBER NEWS Hey Reader, It's October. The trees are turning more golden every day. And the leaves are falling. The year is drawing to a close. The good news is — it’s not too late to make progress before the year ends! And I decided to do just that. My previously published books in the Quentin Academy series are receiving new cover pictures. On the new cover of the first book in the series, Anna is still flying to school on her carpet, but the image is more dynamic than before. What do you...

SEPTEMBER NEWS Hey Reader, Have you ever felt this way? When I am in a happy state, life is so easy. My days are filled with warmth and a bright glow. Miracles seem to happen all around me. If you would take a non-human snapshot of me, I would look like this kitten or this pup. When I am in a happy state, I find it hard to understand why I could ever think that life is difficult—let alone, experience it! Alas, that is not always true for me. There are days when my energy spirals downward and...

AUGUST NEWS Hey Reader, It's August. It's hot! Even in the shade, it's hot. Wouldn't it be nice to escape the heat for a while? Perhaps into a winter storm? Just for a change? Come! Follow me! The carpet labeled McGregor Duncan, McGregor Fiona, was still in its compartment. They stowed the Aquilas carpet and took off to the west with the McGregor carpet, into the mountains. Anna suddenly felt cold and weak. She closed her eyes. “Anna, you’re so pale,” she heard Fiona say. “Lie down for a...
