«LeoZeit: Schatten» in two newspapers
Today my piece about «LeoZeit: Schatten» appeared in two newspapers: Stuttgarter Nachrichten and Leonberger Kreiszeitung. Both editions are dated October 14, 2026.
«Mit einem Welpen ins Jahr 1614»
The piece is headed «Mit einem Welpen ins Jahr 1614» and appears in the «Bei uns daheim» section: on page 12 of the local news in Stuttgarter Nachrichten and on page 20 of Leonberger Kreiszeitung.
It covers my visit to Leonberg town hall to present the novel to Lord Mayor Tobias Degode. It also introduces the foreword written by Josefa von Hohenzollern-Emden, the Deputy Mayor.
The piece goes on to describe Alicia and Leo, the Leonberger puppy, the Pomeranzengarten and the journey to the year 1614. It also mentions the ten-song soundtrack and the short animated film that I produced with my husband, Vitalii Kostiuk, to accompany the book.
