My name is Anastasia. The history books say I died. They don’t know the half of it. Anastasia “Nastya” Romanov was given a single mission: to smuggle an ancient spell into her suitcase on her way to exile in Siberia. It might be her family’s only salvation. But the leader of the Bolshevik army is after them, and he’s hunted Romanov before. Nastya’s only chances of saving herself and her family are either to release the spell and deal with the consequences, or to enlist help from Zash, the handsome soldier who doesn’t act like the average Bolshevik. Nastya has only dabbled in magic, but it doesn’t frighten her half as much as her growing attraction to Zash. She likes him. She ...
This newly updated compendium of facts, observations, discoveries, reviews, serendipities, humor, experiences, and more is not only for the road traveler, but the armchair traveler as well. It reads not as a phone directory but more as a shared diary of discoveries along America's highways and byways. Unless otherwise noted, the author has visited every place mentioned, from Bud's Discount Center in Jasper, Alabama to the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York. Even if you never get in the car and discover such wonders for yourself, you will enjoy this vicarious journey to places both sublime and ordinary as the author makes her way from Maine to Florida and west to the Mississippi River.

Die Bilder auf dem Smartphone sind eindeutig: Du hast es nicht nur wieder getan, sondern auch gemordet. Deine Erinnerungen sagen nichts über die Wahrheit aus. Auch nicht darüber, ob du nun ein Kind geboren hast oder nicht. Und wenn doch: Wo ist es? Wer ist das Mädchen am Telefon, das dich eindringlich um Hilfe bittet? Wem gehört das Blut auf dem Handy, und wer ist der Unbekannte auf den Fotos, der dich zu kennen scheint? Die Parameter der damaligen Ausschreibung von Sebastian Fitzek lauteten: »Du findest ein fremdes Handy mit Bildern von dir darauf, und du hast ein dunkles Geheimnis.« In diesem Werk sind meine drei Kurzgeschichten vereint, die es damals in das E-Book »#wirschreibenzuhause: 100 Quarantäne-Kurzkrimis« der Droemer Knaur Verlagsgruppe geschafft haben.

The nurses of Lovely Lane – Dana, Victoria, Pammy and Beth – are now in their second year and are about to face some truly harrowing and difficult times on the wards. St Angelus needs a new assistant matron, but the members of the Liverpool District Hospital Board have overruled Emily Haycock and Dr Gaskell in their choice. Enter the mysterious Miss Van Gilder from somewhere down south. The life of St Angelus is soon disrupted as her proposals turn the running of the hospital upside down and threaten the jobs of the domestics and porters. But Miss Van Gilder harbours a dark and dishonest secret, and the staff – who are used to looking after their own – set out to uncover it. Will they do so in time, before her meddling begins to affect the morale of the nurses and put the lives of their patients in danger? For one very sick little boy, especially, it will be touch and go.
