Not only classic literature, fantastical tales and heartbreaking stories, but also non-fiction, whether about or , or home renovation. In fact, why stop there?

„Prekäre Welten ist ein Online-Magazin für Spekulative Literatur, welches seit Jänner 2025 besteht. Das Magazin unterstützt die fiktionale und non-fiktionale Auseinandersetzung mit einer prekären Gegenwart und Zukunft und zeichnet seine Perspektiven nach. Es sieht sich als literarisch orientierte Ermutigung, über die Zukunft unserer Welt nachzudenken.“

FUN FACT: I've had 12 Audible releases over the past 12 months, 8 novel-length books + 4 story singles. That's well over 50 hours of Nod/Wells Timelines goodness, and almost 60 if you count the tales that are also in "8."

Not too shabby. 🎧🙂👍
