First of all this is a community (shared) profile, I'm the main user but the rest of my 'family' is using it too. We are a residential and work community and we are looking at us as a family.
We that's:
- Eva, Mara, Vivien, Indra, Lavanya, Katja, Betty, Charly, Meike, Olivia, Mieke, Mienett, Ruud, Claas, Peer and me Paul. We are living in Canada on Vancouver Island together with our fifteen students.
- Mom, Tess, Fenja, Klaus, Jesper and Roger are located in Hamburg Germany.
- Lou, Miho, Ella and Lou's girls enjoy their life's in Amsterdam the Netherlands.
- Jorge, Raquel, Nuria, Miguel, Joaquin, Anna, Juan, Elena, Paula, Jan and little Nils belong to the Spanish part of the family.
- Carla, Emmy, Jana, Hanna, Rojin and Ben are living in Boston (besides Hamburg my second home town!) and somewhere between Lincoln and Concord New England.
- In Shenyang / China (home number three) it's ChunLing, Bella (ShuTong), Tian Tian, Fan Fan, YoYo, Vivian 1+2+3, Aimi, Sunny, Amber, LingLing, Yuki, Eric, Viona, NingBo, Witold, Andy, Ank (Charlie), Maria, Lance, Brother Lee and many more.
- Last but not least Ravi, Sashin and Katharina are representing us in India.
We have lots of friends all over the world, even though they are close friends they are not part of the family, cause family means something special to us. This statement directly leads to our other family members, our pets.
Those members are:
- Joey a giant male Irish Wolfhound (Betty's savior, see the book 'Joey'),
- Kitty a Giant Schnauzer lady (the undoubted number #1 of our pride),
- Lotti (the wild one) a young Waeller girl (black, stubborn, fearless, teeth like a Crocodile and fast like a cannonball),
- Maxi and Toni two Irish Setter girls (they are cousins and love to hunt and to swim). Because of Maxi's and Toni's favorite activities they took over the bodyguard job for Peers more than 200 Kois.
- Last but definitely not least(!!!) JB (=Jan Bear) who joint our pride by his very own decision. JB moved in at our place shortly after we've migrated from Amsterdam to Vancouver Island. He is a disabled (but never the less untamed) Grizzly bear, and he became a completely integrated part of the Family, he moves free within our home.
And that's what I'm writing about! My/our story's are about our life's, they are telling about opportunities, challenges, losses, trust, deep true friendship, fun, party, loyalty, crime, love and erotic. They pleading for tolerance, alternative life models, ethically thinking and acting, honesty, to question yourself and your intensions constantly and to stand up for your friends. My people are delivering more stuff to write about than I'm able to process in my whole lifetime.
As soon as I'm able to find a person who's capable to translate my books professionally I'll get them translated. I'm sad that I wasn't able to find one till now. For myself I wouldn't dare to do it, cause I'm not a native speaker, besides the type of German language I used within those books is a little more sophisticated then in normal mainstream story's. So ideal would be a person who's an English native speaker with a deep knowledge of Germany (language and country) from the 1980th, 90th and 2000th.
