Do you remember the writer colleague of mine, Karin Ammann?

Well, she recently published her new book „Die Poesie des Montags“, it’s a nice little book with many stories about Monday. She asked me, if I would do the proofreading before going definetely to print? Of course I did!

At her home, we sat for hours at her wooden table and my eagle-eyes read word by word the written flags, meanwhile Karin spoilt me with Amarone and cheese! And of course, she gave me a signed copy of her new book! More infos about Karin: www.karinammann.ch

The election is over and our party Second@s Plus has reached a respectable result with 26417 votes in the canton Aargau or in other words with 1 % we have reached our target and have given a face to our party and our interests. Of course this votes aren’t enough for a seat in the national council, but we don’t aim for this, because we are not experts of politics. We have our mission and will follow it in the future!

Ruedi Josuran & Karin Ammann introducing Ruedi’s new book „Von Mann zu Mann“

Hi everyone!

For one day I slipped in the role of a model by showing my beautiful white teeth! I got up early in the morning about 5 am, combed my hair and put make up on my face. Near the lake of Sempach was the shooting, there were some professional models and as well facultative models like me, but we were casted about our beautiful teeth to boost up the homepage of the company Straumann, who‘ s specialised in dental care and implants. Btw, my teeth are original ones!!!
Ralf Spitzenberger and his team directed the shooting and it was a real interesting experience to see, how strenuos the job as model can be. In fact in the evening my whole face hurted because I had to laugh all the time, show my teeth in an authentic way. Here you see the making of and the resulting pics:

The crew preparing the clothing…

Looking for the right light!

Critical look to the pics!

I think, we had around 5oo shot pics until Ralf Spitzenberger decided for this pic…

and for this one! The pics change alternately with others on the homepage of Straumann,
it was real fun to do this and I would do it again, maybe I should ask Michel Comte?

Karin Ammann, a writer colleague of mine, asked me, if i would do the final proofreading of a new book, who’s about to go be printed? In nearly 5 – 6 hours I read the written „flags“ and she sent the manus by moon courier to the printing.
It is the new book of Ruedi Josuran „Von Mann zu Mann“ (From man to man), he writes about the friendship between men and their communication. The book contains as well some delicious recipes!

Ruedi Josuran is a well-known and popular radiospeaker of Radio DRS 1, after 17 years of radio work he fell victim of a burnout and after the recovery he decided to write this book. I’m honoured having given to this book my last close look before printing, so if there’s still a mistake, so I’m to blame! In the thanking I’m an eagle eye!
Publisher: Orell Füssli, ISBN 3-28005188-6

Karin Ammann published as well a few books, one of the most popular is „Time out-time in“ and it’s recommendable to those who are planning a time out or a sabbatical and the important things they have to consider.

I was invited for a reading at Kaleidoskop in Buchs, the village where I live. And this reading is probably the last one. In the future I will have a low profile about writing, because I want to concentrate myself on the writing workshops and some other new projects, but I’ll keep you informed. Of course in my new projects is a new book planned, I’m thinking about to write my first novel, I have some idea, how it should come out!

Have a good time meanwhile!
Love, Sina

Discussing about the book & explaining the making of…and of course all the emotions I had doing it!

This is a very private insight of my life, I deserve as well like many others a holiday and if it’s possible, once a year I visit my relations in Italy, which live in a very beautiful part of Italy, the environement of Napoli.

This was early the house of my paternal grandparents on one side of the hill…

and on the other side the maternal grandparents house!
