»Since my childhood I am writing ... poems, essays, stories. Most time I added illustrations and self composed music. Early I created little movies with a hand winded camera.
This novel was created from a film script which I had written 1994. At that time I was deeply moved by the fate of the Brazlian Amazone Forest and Tibet - and still am. I had the feeling that they both experineced a similar tragedy. Since I could not find a producer for the movie I decided to make the story into a novel and started writing in 2005.
In August 2011 it was completed and a longer phase of corrections and reviewing followed. In March 2012 it finally found its way into the public.
1994 I had the first music-ideas for the story. Right now I am working again on some titles and hope to complete the CD in August 2012.
