All our paths have crossed for this year. We're now lying on the sofa, waiting to see what the evening and the new year bring. We're thinking of you. May the coming year be your best yet 💜

Was wird das neue Jahr bringen? Vor allem neue Geschichten von mir. - Zuerst einmal meine umfangreichste und vielleicht letzte Sammlung - Dann meine beiden Weihnachtsnovellen - Und endlich auch der erste Teil meines nächsten große Romanprojekts

This is the perfect read for this season, it brings me back the feeling I had when I first read Fantasy as a young boy. It's everything Fantasy should be and more. And I know, I just know that she is going to break my heart...again...but that's a price very much worth paying ...

And on the Sixth Day of Christmas, Yuletide gave to me: a full day of reading and cuddling with my doggy, and the revelation that if I try hard enough I can let go of all the baddest stuff...

And on the Third Day of Christmas, Yuletide gave to me: a full day of reading and cuddling with my doggy, a magic forrest tree carving and a wish upon a star...
