Mayers kleines Buchregal
Hello and welcome to my presentation! I am Uwe Mayer, freelance Illustrator, author, designer and now also publisher of my children's picture book „DIE LAUFMASCHINE“, or in the English translation: “The Bicycling Baron". The book playfully tells the story of the invention of the bicycle from the very start. As a subject long overdue, it is original, based on fact and yet told in a humorous and original format with great illustrations throughout. DIE LAUFMASCHINE won the 1st prize from the State of Baden-Württemberg (Germany) for its original idea & concept in 2017. With further funding I was in the lucky position to not only create this important book project, but also publish it in 2019. Die Laufmaschine was nominated by the STIFTUNG BUCHKUNST for “Most Beautiful German Books" („Die Schönsten Deutschen Bücher“), Long List 2019. For this title I am offering foreign rights.

February 2008Sklaven der Einsamkeit
Roman
by Patrick Hamilton, Miriam Mandelkow
Das wohlgeordnete Leben von Enid Roach gerät aus den Fugen. Der Londoner Bombenhagel treibt die 39jährige Verlagsangestellte in die Provinz, wo sie Dinge unternimmt, die sie unter normalen Umständen niemals auch nur in Betracht ziehen würde. Sie verabredet sich in Pubs, hat eine Affäre mit einem amerikanischen Offizier und wohnt in einer Pension mit den unterschiedlichsten Menschen zusammen. Im Tearoom, beim täglichen Abendessen, entwickeln die Pensionsgäste ihr eigenes Schlachtfeld. Hier haben Mr. Twaight und die Deutsche Vicki Kugelmann – erst ihre, dann seine Verbündete – das Sagen. Die beiden liefern Enid, ihrer „Miss Prüde“, einen zermürbenden Stellungskrieg, der diese langsam, aber unerbittlich zur Verzweiflung treibt.

FictionNow Lila Knows
by Elizabeth Nunez
Lila Bonnard has left her island home in the Caribbean to join the faculty as a visiting professor at Mayfield College in a small Vermont town. On her way from the airport to Mayfield, Lila witnesses the fatal shooting of a Black man by the police. It turns out that the victim was a professor at Mayfield College, and he was giving CPR to a white woman who was on the verge of an opioid overdose. The two Black faculty and a Black administrator in the otherwise all-white college expect Lila to be a witness in the case against the police, but Lila fears that in the current hostile political climate against immigrants of color she may jeopardize her position at the college by speaking out, and her fiancé advises her to remain neutral. Now Lila Knows is a gripping story that explores our obligation to act when confronted with the unfair treatment of fellow human beings. A page-turner with universal resonance, this novel will leave readers rethinking the meaning of love and empathy.

HumourEven More Ketchup than Salsa
The Final Dollop
by Joe Cawley
If the first six months of running the Smugglers Tavern had been a baptism of fire, the subsequent years were about as much fun as bobbing for apples in a vat of acid. Having swapped the tin roof of a cold British fish market for the sunny skies of a Spanish holiday island, Joe and Joy succeeded in thwarting the first wave of attacks from bungling bureaucrats, bewildered holidaymakers and their own spectacular ineptitude. What they didn’t realise was that their enemies were regrouping. Not only that, but those enemies had made camp a lot closer to home, enemies that would make their encounters with the exploding gas bottles, East European squatters and big-time Charlies featured in the first book, More Ketchup than Salsa, seem like chapters from Enid Blyton. The trials and tribulations of attempting to make a better life abroad continue... with disastrous consequences.

by Corwyn Alvarez
"Alvarez entices readers to see the town of Mayfield through the eyes of Benny as he creates a kinship with the dogs he walks for his neighbors and takes uncharted paths, twists and turns that give way to new adventures."-Kirkus Reviews If there are guardian angels among us, surely Benny is one of them. Gently challenged and benignly observant, he lives with his long-suffering mother in the quirky and charming town of Mayfield. Benny is qualified for only one job: walking dogs. At that task, he is without peer. But Benny is more than a simple friend to the town's canines; he brings the same guileless compassion to the people around him. Sweet and honest, offering poignant loyalty, he changes their lives. Life is not as simple as he seems. AUTHOR: Corwyn Alvarez (aka Official Ball Thrower for the Dog) lives in Bethesda, Maryland. He is the proud recipient of the Walter Mitty Writing Award from Accidental College and aspires to someday be a worthy road man for the lords of karma. He is currently at work on his next novel.
