I'm glad to hear readers are trying out more of the books but too bad the ordering over at the German Amazon isn't easier -- sorry about that. Thanks for the comment. It's good to know that some people like the stories better. I guess it's easier to focus on particular things in those, but what I like about working on the novels is that it really lets me build up a character. But I have lots of left over material for another story collection, so I will definitely be doing another one of those as well.
Finishing the next one is STILL going to take a while. Finding the time to work on it is hard, and as always there's so much I want to put into it....
