Moving into a new office
These are exciting times indeed. Since I started my business in 2007 I was always working from home, sometimes under really miserable conditions, but you don’t really need much as a translator. It basically boils down to a computer or laptop, working internet and maybe a mobile phone. But now, for the first time in 13 years, I have a real office in a real building! Fairly soon I will also put up a sign above the shop window. There are still a few bits and bobs to be done, to be sorted etc. but most of the stuff is already here and set up. In fact, I am writing…

Blogging on an island in the wild, wild west
Blogging. Again! I have a confession to make. I have blogged before. But I think I was never really good at it. Why, you may ask. After all, it is just a blog and you are a writer, so, get going. Well, I think it has something to do with the fact that I am a bit passionate about things that are really close to my heart. And then, when I write about it, at one point, I am getting carried away very often. That can be a good thing to blog or write everything what is on your chest, but it can also horribly backfire and I still feel…

Books
Here is a list of the books I have already translated. They are available through various channels like amazon, weltbild, kobo, apple, google play, barns & nobles and many more. Some of them are only available as e-books, others also as printed books e.g. paperback. It is great fun to translate a book, so much more satisfying than short snippets of text or data. That can be fun too, but books to me are more fun as I love reading. The Warning of the Ravens – Die Warnung der Raben read more … Hello my name is Peter – Hallo, ich heiße Peter read…

Work Examples
Below you find some of the work I did or am still doing. As I mentioned before, a lot of information from my old website got lost, therefore it is a bit difficult to find my testimonials back 🙂 During the presidental campaign of the US of America I was asked to translate the lifeline of Senator John McCain. I must say, that it was a really interesting thing to do. He earned my full respect, may he rest in peace. At the same time I also had to proofread the lifeline of the former President Barack Obama which of course was also very interesting. …
