edit data

Birgit Horvath-Muck is an Austrian author who feels most at home in the realms of speculative fiction. When she's not writing, Birgit is trying to avoid getting off at the wrong bus stop (plotting in your mind while being out and about does that to you) and developing a talent for navigating past the towering book stacks in her apartment without constantly bumping into them.
Her first novel "Josephine" was published in 2010 in her native language German. "The Attic in My Yard" is her first book in the English language. ...more

“Th' first thing to have in a libry is a shelf.
Fr'm time to time this can be decorated with lithrachure.
But th' shelf is th' main thing.”

“There are some books that refuse to be written. They stand their ground year after year and will not be persuaded. It isn't because the book is not there and worth being written -- it is only because the right form of the story does not present itself. There is only one right form for a story and if you fail to find that form the story will not tell itself.”
― Mark Twain

“If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories — science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”
― Ray Bradbury
