Story/serial for #WeekofWonders

Coldness’ breath touched me like a draft in an empty castle. On my way to the market, fog shrouded everything. I could not even see the path anymore, walking it by heart- here was the red-painted fence. There the pasture of Sam. Suddenly….

…my heart froze with dread. Looking at my hands I seemed to turn invisible - icy veins throbbing, dissolving into the mist. Surely my eyes played tricks on me in the fog. But the sudden change from day to the universe’s starlight blinking above, let me know that

The acrylic one is creating the tense, mysterious fog mood and the watercolour one the silent/ peaceful fog mood …. I love both versions

I ll cross my fingers for you. Can you send a pic of it - on the German homepage I do not find it

Glad to hear this. I have read many not so good reviews on Goodreads - but I have to admit that the swearing is not a problem for me - as long as it fits the character - I don’t take it personally 😅and the style is already addicting

The first third of the book is a bit “raw” - I have read it is more on the point later - nevertheless it is already addicting and so very promising
