Writer, teacher and translator from Bremen in North Germany

Just realised that I didn't even introduce myself properly:
I'm a lifelong fan of science fiction, fantasy and related subjects.
I live near Bremen in North Germany, the city made famous by the fairy tale about the town musicians.
I'm a writer, not just as SFF.
In my day job, I'm a translator of technical and legal texts. I'm also a teacher, originally for English, but now mostly for German as a second language.
Whether you have already seen The Last Jedi or not, enjoy this pic of Paige, Rose, Chewie and a random panda. https://wandering.shop/media/q7AuoGoI80723gfyVWw
Just wanted to share the beautiful cover for my upcoming SF holiday short "Christmas on Iago Prime".

After hundreds of years, they've had enough. The Turkey Revolution has begun.

Siri ran through the forest, touched trees, breathed deeply.
To human eyes, it was just another robot. To Siri, an Actual Reality headset.

And since I totally forgot to mention this in my introduction, I run two genre blogs, the Speculative Fiction Showcase for SF, fantasy and horror and the Indie Crime Scene for crime, mystery and thriller:

Authors in those genres are welcome to submit new release to the respective blog.
Our featured new release at the Speculative Fiction Showcase today is "Where Nightmares Come From - The Art of Storytelling in the Horror Genre", a non-fiction anthology of interest to horror writers and others:

It works. So expect more photos in the future.
Let's see if I can post photos from my phone. Here is yesterday's lunch, Steak Diane with pasta. I didn't flambé it, though.
I came across the recipe while researching my retro adventure series The Silencer. Food is important in my fiction.

Here's a nice blogpost by @stealthmunchkin about Mastodon and why you don't need to worry about instances to use it. (Basically, think of it like email rather than like the bird site.) https://andrewhickey.info/2017/11/16/mastodon-dont-worry-about-instances/
Things I archived today: Wrote 1158 words and did a cover mock-up that is supposed to look like a 1970s men's adventure paperback. I do think the typography works, but I'll have to crop the image differently to get the effect that I want. https://wandering.shop/media/KX_HKtHGhN8hLF4Ps0M
Apparently, "boosting" means retweeting (retooting?) here on Mastodon. Good to know.
My middle-aged self turned up, full of advice and instructions. I nodded along.
My old self had already warned me, and told me to ignore it.

Good things that happened to me today: 1. Got a translation job in. Good money, not too complicated plus the possibility of follow up jobs.
2. The mail person brought me a cheque and a book.
