Someone pointed me to the Midsummer Mystery Contest writing competition on the storyteller platform INKITT.com and suggested that I submitted my novel “A Brilliant Plan". And I did, of course. I had it previously published as sort of a test balloon on the story platform Wattpad.com with great success. I never had received so many comments, likes and suggestions than anywhere else. I had over 190.000 chapters read on Wattpad, that’s around 4000 readers! I love it.

If you haven’t read “A Brilliant Plan”, do so! One of my first full length novels in the crime mystery genre, it still holds up pretty well. Well, I must say that, as I am the author. But almost ten years and over ten full-length novels later, it still holds a special place in my heart. It was the first book that I wrote, which story-wise shaped up the way I wanted it. In earlier attempts on other stories, I felt that I lacked the voice and the intensity to make a story work over 300+ pages. “A Brilliant Plan” changed that.

It’s available on various platforms by now, if you fancy reading it on phone, tablet or PC. And, of course, in print, too. Just head over to my books page for the various links.


[Updated] And off we go again... Calendar Moonshine "Brilliant #3" in the making

in ,

UPDATE Jan 3 2021: You maybe noticed, a lot of stuff has happened since this post from April. COVID Trouble took priority. The Transport completion took priority. And my new project, the Audiobook Podcast Version of The Transport, took priority. The remaining 79066 words of Brilliant #3 might come. But then, maybe not.

Chapter One, Word One. Thirty minutes later 934 words down. 79066 words to go. No pressure.

Moonstone Brilliant Series Book 3 First Chapter

Should anyone be teased enough, I recommend of course the two first books in the Brilliant Series, both available in all major eBook Retailers and in paperback.

A Brilliant Plan - It was planned as a routine job: get in, crack the safe, fetch the diamonds. Instead Calendar finds a dead body and by sheer chance becomes involved to find the murderer and the stolen jewels. To stay out of jail, Calendar has to use all her wits, skills and charm. And must solve a century old jewelry mystery.

Brilliant Actors - What could be more exciting than attending the Academy Awards ceremony, joining the hottest after-show party, and have an A-movie star wearing your jewelry? All of the above, plus spending the rest of the night in jail after a precious piece of jewelry is stolen! Calendar gets thirty days to clear her name or go to jail—permanently.
