I’m proud to announce two news: the one, after 12 years my first book „Die Papierfabrik“ celebrates a great comeback, the other, in collaboration with Gerardo Ceres, soon will be published the Italian edition of it „La Cartiera“! At the same time I’m very happy to collaborate again with Werner Strähl, even the Italian version was very challenging for him!

With my editor Werner Strähl we modified the content of the story and gave to the cover a new face!

Thanks to everyone having shared with me the moments

Merry X-mas to everyone & a successful start into 2015!

Nebel über Durban, Sina Merino, ISBN 978-3-906112-09-1

Gefangen in der gnadenlos materialistischen Welt des Rohstoffhandels, getrieben vom Erfolgsdruck, glaubt sich Tristan Damiani, begehrter Junggeselle in den Vierzigern, zufrieden. Bis zu dem Tag, an dem er ein Schloss erbt und er sich mit seiner Herkunft konfrontiert sieht. Stück für Stück trägt er die Puzzleteile zusammen, die vorerst ein verstörendes, dann aber immer klarerers Bild der Umstände seiner Existenz ergeben. Helen, seine Freundin, unterstützt ihn so gut sie kann. Die Frage nach dem wirklichen Sinn des Lebens tritt immer mehr in den Vordergrund.
Die Autorin hat mit diesem Werk ein spannendes Buch voller Emotionen geschaffen. Bezaubernd, fantasievoll. Aber auch realistisch bezüglich menschlicher Schwächen und Abgründe. Was mir beim Lesen etwas Mühe bereitete, sind die kursiven Einschübe. Andererseits machen gerade sie das Buch zu etwas Besonderem. Nebel über Durban ist eine Novelle, die mir sehr gut gefallen hat und die ich gerne weiter empfehle.

La Sorgente goes international!

The newspaper was founded in 1973 by director Nicola Conforti and it’s his life-work, still today surviving in the online-era. It can be bought at the local newsstands or subscribed, most of the readers support the paper with spontaneous contributions.

La Sorgente is distributed all over Italy and as well to these countries: Brazil, Canada, Germany, France, Switzerland, United Kingdom & United States.

From the bottom of my heart thanks to Nicola Conforti and Gerardo Ceres, my interview had a huge worldwide response, I feel very honored!

On 3rd August the Pro Loco of Caposele (Italy, Pro Loco means a cultural community of the village) will present the 88th issue of the local newspaper „La Sorgente (The Source) at the sala polifunzionale (a multi-purpose room of the village). This newspaper was founded in 1973 and is of course online available too. But for the local people this newspaper is always a special event combined with a festivity and some of my relatives will take part.

Caposele is the hometown of my grandparents and as a child I was often there for holidays and I’m still in touch with the local people. Caposele is well-known about the source of the river Sele, which flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea and about the Apulian Aqueduct. In my first book „Die Papierfabrik“ I wrote about the village and surroundings.

In this issue you can read an interview with me, conducted by Gerardo Ceres, one of the editors of the newspaper and some excerpts in italian of the book. I was very surprised discovering a lot of local writers/authors, so it was given in my genes the writing!

I feel very honored to be part of this artists gallery and contribute with my literature part!

Grazie mille di cuore, Gerardo, è stata una bella collaborazione! (From the bottom of my heart, many thanks to Gerardo, it was a great collaboration!)

…and that’s how it looks like:

Exclusive!
Maya Hostettler hosts on her Federbar various authors/writers and offers them a great platform for their works.

I feel honored to be in June the author of the months and took the opportunity for a retro; for the first time the shortstory of my first work „Die Papierfabrik“ (The Paper Factory) can be read in the net and as well the italian translation of it.

Grazie mille, Maya!

Just enjoy the reading: www.federbar.ch

Now it’s official! My road-movie „The Paper Factory-Die Paperfabrik“ is in the selection of the jury of the 1st Calitri  Sponz Film Festival 2014 (Italy) www.calitrifilmfest.it
The festival is directed by the musician and artist Vinicio Capossela www.viniciocapossela.it
Vinicio is a well-known artist in Italy and recently in Greece, he directed last year in his hometown Calitri the first open-air inviting local artists on stage and during three evenings were 30’000 visitors dancing to the folkloristic music till in the morning ;o)

I feel honored, grazie mille!

It’s always a great pleasure to be there and there’s a special feeling in the air when you are wandering around this beautiful baroque town. This time I was busy to promote my new book and as well my whole work of a decade and was delighted to see again familiar faces.

It was lovely to see again Franco Supino. In the past
we worked together in another project. Franco’s essay
„Solothurn liegt am Meer“ (Solothurn is on the beach)
is a nice slogan to the literature days of Solothurn, which
is located close to the river Aare

During my marathon, I’ve foundt time to visit
Stefano Benni’s reading out of his last two novels
„Pantera“ and „Di tutte le ricchezze“. Stefano is in
Italy a well-known author. He writes as well theatre
scripts as articles for the three leading news-papers
„Panorama“, „La Repubblica“ & „Il Manifesto“
