The Salt of Ancient Tears
A high concept modern/historical time-slip thriller based on medieval Europe’s most fascinating historical mystery, staged in a tragic, but ultimately uplifting epic saga of love, loss, and redemption.

Gemütlichkeit is the order of the day :)
Very cool! I'll try to tune in. That would be 14:00 - 15:00 CET, yes? 🙂
I definitely feel and share your pain. As an author, musician, and photographer, I feel the creative world has been dealt a crushing loss. Fighting against the AI tsunami is the hill that I’m willing to die on.
My thoughts exactly.

Frost Beard (aka Hair Ice) is a rare form of ice consisting of delicate threads of ice exuding from dead wood under certain weather conditions.

It was Nagy Hüte, Thaliastraße 36. It’s apparently gone now, but not forgotten. 🥰
Yes, it was just by the farmers market😊
My bad, of course the U6. All I remember was that it looked like it hadn’t changed much in the last hundred years. The proprietors were pretty ancient, too, but of course, being Viennese, were sehr gemütlich. I love all the old shops in Vienna, but also the new ones, like those on Neubaugasse.
Years ago, I bought one of my fedoras in a lovely old hat shop on Thaliastraße, located close to the U3 U-Bahn station (I can’t remember the name), but I think the shop is gone now. I still have the hat 😊

Thanks for the update. I don’t figure on ever seeing anything. However, very strange to see my book pop up on the list. It’s not like it’s a bestseller 😅
I checked via the Atlantic search engine and my novel, The Salt of Ancient Tears was listed as downloaded. However, I read somewhere that to receive compensation your book had to be patented in the US.
Lovely observation, thanks 😊

I lived in Ouray, CO. for a year or so back in the day. I’ve traveled all over the world but the San Juan Mountains and Colorado in general captured my heart like few places ever did. Enjoy the beautiful autumn gold! 💛
