Ein Update zur Pandemie und #SchwesternDerKlinge!
Eigentlich sollte mein Amazonen-Epos im Herbst diesen Jahres zur Frankfurter Buchmesse @Book_Fair erscheinen. Wegen der aktuellen Situation wird es aber zur Verschiebung kommen. 😢

Persönlich betrifft mich der Virus nicht.
Doch der @KnaurVerlag, wo der Roman erscheint, kann in der Hochkrise nichts mehr rausbringen, weil Buchhandlungen geschlossen haben.
Romane, die in den nächsten Monaten kommen sollten, müssen entsprechend verschoben werden.

Und damit meine Amazonen nicht in einer Herbstflut von Neuerscheinungen untergehen, verschieben sie sich mit. 💔
DIE SCHLECHTE NACHRICHT: Wahrscheinlich werden die Amazonen dadurch erst 2021 veröffentlicht, hoffentlich zur Leipziger @buchmesse. 👎🏼
