Why Chameleon
Ink? Because the new saga I am currently cooking up is going to focus on a
chameleon, although not necessarily the animal in the classical sense. As I was in the last stages of editing my
first book, Celtic Forest, an orphan living on the streets of a 19th
century town suddenly popped out from behind a stack of barrels in a run-down warehouse.
Being the curious cat that I am, I just couldn't leave this child alone and it didn’t take long until an
imaginative breeze swept through my mind, endowing the unlikely heroine with the
ability to change her identity. As I continued my day jobs, ventured out to
book fairs in search of inspiration and started searching for agents for my
first book, the street-smart chameleon was lovingly dubbed “Mug” and her story
slowly started to take shape. But, I’m sure, I will tell you more about her in the next few
months. At the moment, I am still sketching, experimenting and gathering data
on Mug’s tale.
Whenever I am not stalking Mug,
I am immersed in working on the second volume of my first book. Celtic Forest,
which follows the young warrior, Lugus, and the amnesic maiden, Celestia, as
they unwillingly set out to unite the Celts and lead their people out of
slavery. I am still tinkering with the pitch, but once I have it nailed you
will be the first to see it...would love to have your opinion on it ;)
What do I do
when I’m not writing? I finished my studies in business and English this year
and am currently applying to a ton of different jobs. No real luck so far, which
makes it far more interesting to write than brood over my CV and cover letter.
Other than that, I help out with the marketing of a small restaurant in the neighbourhood
and maintain the website for an alumni foundation. It’s fun and I can do my
work pretty independently. I guess that’s the basics concerning me. I will write more entries as
more things start happening. Wish you a great start into the week!
