Mütter, Töchter und andere Krisen: Familie 2.0 - Band 01
Start der neuen Reihe FAMILIE 2.0 Annette ist Geschäftsfrau, sie liebt ihre Villa, ihre Firma und ihre Familie. 'Genau in der Reihenfolge', meint Tochter Monika, die sich ganz der Familie widmet. Als sie ihren Mann Udo jedoch bei einem Seitensprung erwischt, zieht sie mit Tochter Sarah in die Villa ihrer Mutter. Annette, die Udos betriebswirtschaftliche Fähigkeiten zu schätzen weiß, macht ihn dennoch zu ihrem Geschäftsführer. Da sind Probleme ebenso vorprogrammiert, wie bei dem Versuch ihres Ex-Mannes, seinen ungewollten Ruhestand zu verheimlichen. Die herrschende Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise macht die Situation auch nicht leichter, verhilft aber zu neuen Ideen – und schafft am Ende völlig neue Verhältnisse. Ein paar Worte zur Reihe In Bad Brunn, einer fiktiven Kleinstadt im Wiener Becken, wohnen Menschen wie Du und ich. Sie lieben und hassen, haben Hoffnungen und Träume, Vorlieben und Vorurteile - und sie haben Familie. Nun ist Familie ein durchaus dehnbarer Begriff. Während man früher in Großfamilien zusammenlebte, sich später gerne in die Kernfamilie zurückzog, entstehen in unseren Tagen oft Patchworkfamilien, die - mit etwas gutem Willen - zu ganz erstaunlichen Konstellationen führen können. Ihnen widmet sich diese Reihe - mit einem Augenzwinkern, aber ohne auf realistische Hintergründe und amüsante Details zu verzichten. Viel Spaß!

Puede que todos estén buscando hacerse ricos en esta ciudad en auge y sin ley, pero será un amor más precioso que el oro lo que los salvará a todos al final.

El sueño de su hija (Her Daughter's Dream)
Cubriendo los años desde 1950 hasta el siglo XXI, esta dramática conclusión a la historia de dos tomos explora las vidas de cuatro generaciones de mujeres. Cada una ha presentado un frente valiente para disimular heridas profundas, a menudo sin comprender el amor sacrificial de una madre por su hija. La pequeña Carolyn Arundel siempre tuvo un vínculo especial con su abuelita Marta, debido a que la tuberculosis mantuvo a su madre, Hildie, alejada ocasionalmente durante meses. Pero cuando Carolyn va a la universidad durante la turbulenta época de la guerra de Vietnam, la golpea la tragedia y ella corta todos los lazos familiares, desapareciendo en la cultura del amor libre en San Francisco. Ella reemerge dos años después, perdida y embarazada. Con la ayuda de sus padres, logra construir una vida para su hija antes de enamorarse del guapo y encantador Mitch Hastings. Spanning the 1950s to the 21st century, this dramatic conclusion to a two-part saga explores the lives of four generations of women. Each has put up a brave front to mask deep hurts, often not understanding the sacrificial love of a mother for her daughter. Little Carolyn Arundel has always had a special bond with her Oma Marta, especially since tuberculosis took her mother, Hildie, away for months at a time. But when Carolyn goes to college during the turbulent Vietnam War, tragedy strikes and she cuts all family ties, disappearing into the free love culture of San Francisco. She reemerges two years later, lost and pregnant. With the help of her parents, she builds a life for her daughter, May Flower Dawn, before being swept off her feet by the handsome and charming Mitch Hastings.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Brotherhood "A love letter to the power of music, this thoughtful, humorous exploration of what constitutes living versus mere survival sees Chen (Light Years from Home) at the top of his game." -Publishers Weekly starred review "A strong emotional core carries Chen's (Light Years from Home, 2022) latest, which is ultimately about healing from old wounds and learning how to embrace life again after loss-even if you're dead." -Booklist Being a vampire is far from glamorous…but it can be pretty punk rock. Everything you've heard about vampires is a lie. They can't fly. No murders allowed (the community hates that). And turning into a bat? Completely ridiculous. In fact, vampire life is really just a lot of blood bags and night jobs. For Louise Chao, it's also lonely, since she swore off family ages ago. At least she's gone to decades of punk rock shows. And if she can join a band of her own (while keeping her…situation under wraps), maybe she'll finally feel like she belongs, too. Then a long-lost teenage relative shows up at her door. Whether it's Ian's love of music or his bad attitude, for the first time in ages, Louise feels a connection. But as Ian uncovers Louise's true identity, things get dangerous-especially when he asks her for the ultimate favor. One that goes beyond just family…one that might just change everything vampires know about life and death forever.
Mike Chen (Author), Emily Woo Zeller (Narrator)

Israel Zangwill was born in London on 21st January 1864, to a family of Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire. Zangwill was initially educated in Plymouth and Bristol. At age 9 he was enrolled in the Jews' Free School in Spitalfields in east London. Zangwill excelled here. He began to teach part-time at the school and eventually full time. Whilst teaching he also studied with the University of London and by 1884 had earned his BA with triple honours in philosophy, history, and the sciences.His writing earned him the sobriquet "the Dickens of the Ghetto" primarily based on his much lauded novel 'Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People' in 1892 and its glimpse of the poverty-stricken life in London's Jewish quarter.As a writer he was keen to reflect on his political and social outlooks. His simulation of Yiddish sentence structure in English aroused great interest. His mystery work, 'The Big Bow Mystery' (1892) was the first locked room mystery novel. Zangwill was also involved with narrowly focused Jewish issues as an assimilationist, an early Zionist, and later a territorialist. In the early 1890s he joined the Lovers of Zion movement in England. In 1897 he joined Theodor Herzl (considered the father of modern political Zionism) in founding the World Zionist Organization. Zangwill quit the established philosophy of Zionism when his plan for a homeland in Uganda was rejected and founded his own organisation; the Jewish Territorialist Organization. Its stated goal was to create a Jewish homeland in whatever territory in the world could be found for them. Amongst the challenges in his life he found time to write poetry. He had translated a medieval Jewish poet in 1903 and his volume 'Blind Children' in 1908 was well received. 'The Melting Pot' in 1909 made Zangwill's name as an admired playwright. When the play opened in Washington D.C., former President Theodore Roosevelt leaned over the edge of his box and shouted, "That's a great play, Mr. Zangwill, that's a great play." Israel Zangwill died on 1st August 1926 in Midhurst, West Sussex.

Midlife Magic & Medusa: Paranormal Women's Fiction
No rest for the weary, right? Alex has barely strapped on her magical training wheels when a gorgon slithers into town! Medusa isn’t just seeking asylum, either. She expects Alex’s help in breaking her own family’s infamous curse. Old hatred runs deep in creatures with such long memories, and keeping the entire town from going after Medusa with their own torches and pitchforks may prove impossible. Thankfully, Alex has a couple of hotter than-sin distractions to help her. Erm, help her learn to control the wilder aspects of her magic, that is. Unfortunately, her ex-husband’s prolonged recovery--under her roof—doesn’t exactly put Alex in the mood for romance, and she can forget fostering calm feelings of control. Handing Mike over to Medusa may be Alex’s biggest temptation yet. And with her barely contained magic on the fritz, Alex may not be the best witch to help remove Medusa’s curse, anyway. Especially since she can’t seem to do anything about her own. But when a high-ranking demon tries to use Alex’s family to force her own curse into action, those magical training wheels have to come off. Time for Alex to pull up her mom-jeans and kick some demon ass.
