every writer's dream come true...

Finally on holidays....

I'm sitting on a balcony, below I can watch the ripples of the endless blue sea. For a touch of perfection, I'm adding into this picture some Arecaceae (vulgo: palm trees), waving their leaves at their leisure in the light breeze .

Life can be so good...

This beautiful setting doesn't stop me from sending one of my protagonists to paradise (or hell?) today.

soon you may know for whom the bell was tolling in the second sequel of

Richelieu revisited

Watching a French / German TV documentary on Richelieu, really fascinating!

Politics was a game of chess in the 17th century, no ethical restrictions were taken into account as the noble target would justify any means...

How come that I have to think about Russia today?
Did the world really move on since then?

The Queen's Maid of Honour

The Queen's Maid of Honour (The French Orphan, # 4) by Michael Stolle


Watch out - this book is soon to appear for free download on kindle!

It's a must for all lovers of romance and adventure - and those who appreciate a zest of humour.

You'll travel back to England in the 17th century, a country torn apart by religious fervour and civil war.

This is my special thank you for all readers who went through the effort of rating my books and giving me valuable feed-back.

As today the mark of 200 ratings was reached by Goodreads members, time to celebrate a little.
