I was invited short-termed to the JugendArt in Olten for a reading. So I don’t appear by name on the poster. Again I had stage fright, but great support from my closest friend Sandi and her mother, thanks!

Hello!

At the 1st book fair in Basel I met the 1st time the managers of my publisher house, Dr. Hänsel-Hohenhausen and Stefan Fassel-Wenz, as well my production supporter Björn Bordon. During the production we only were in contact by phone or mail.

At the fair I had ten minutes left to read a few lines of my written work. There were a lot of visitors walking from stand to stand and some of them were very attentive to listen to my spoken words…I sold a few books too and had my fun to autograph them!

With my publisher I spoke already about my idea of the filming, but this is another branch and a much more difficult one,not to underestimate!

Welcome in a vain circus!

…the camera

Here it is, visible and in a few days readable!

This book is dedicated first to my aunt Anna in Buenos Aires, it’s her lifestory and to the people to who I’m tied with love.

Dedicated as well to the gentlemen, from who I got many roses
Dedicated as well to the unfair ones, who were very bad to me
Dedicated as well to the few, who let me down, while I believed in them

And finally to all the little people around me, which will be our future tomorrow!

My journey goes on, a lot of new things are expecting me, in my bag I carry the good moments along, that’s the stuff life’s made of; simply for the ones, who don’t know this yet…

My first book & the bookmarks

Hi everybody!

My book varnishing will be well remembered to my guests. They all could live a beautiful experience in the wine cellar @ restaurant Hirschen, with mediterranean delicacies, good wine, candle-light and the story in living form, because there were the other protagonists of the book present and they were glad to talk about their own story. Many thanks for the flowers I received!

Auntie Lisa is happy, to have her part in the book,
she was the godmother of my book…well, our family-book!

the other protagonists of the book: my mother, auntie Lisa & uncle Francesco

auntie Anna’s old passport and the one way ship-ticket Naples to Buenos Aires

Here you have a little foretaste of my coming book!

Estacion Retiro Buenos Aires, in the far 17th April 1964 my aunt’s ship
landed in the harbour of Buenos Aires. There her husband welcomed her…

…by train introduced her to their new home in the quarter Villa Pueyrredon…

My uncle tried in Buenos Aires a career as opera-singer,
as remembrance he has got two records, you can only
hear them on a grammophone

my aunt succeeded with the founding of her own paper factory

Oh man! What a month was march,  a real rollercoaster!

Beside, that I earn my rolls as a banking auntie, I was a postering-girl, talkerin as well, and managed all my appointments with all kinds of journalists, moderators and event-managers, so I got a training in self-marketing! In between I had my study exams, my birthday-party, a wedding and two funerals!

My reading @ KiFF in Aarau in front of 150 listeners was successful. Beautiful was the support of my dears, thanks! It was quiet like a mouse there, I felt the eyes of the listeners laying on my lips and I got really blushed, fast heart-beating, sweating…it’s called the stage fright!

The recording of „Talk im Schlosshof“ was extremly thrilling and amusing, because my real 1st TV-appearance. The recording had to be interrupted, because the talkmaster Ruedi Vorburger was driven to tears about the content of „Die Papierfabrik“…for the 33minutes-clip were 5 hours of preparation necessary: hair-dresser, make-up, styling, briefing, check-up, recording, re-recording, casting…at the end the director said:

Game, set & match!
