January 13, 2025 Cradle of Damnation - Innocence Forever Lost - Teaser to the new horror-crime story
In the isolated, fog-covered town of Dürmberg, nestled deep in the Bavarian countryside, Father Jacob is a man slowly losing his grip on both reality and his soul. Once a devout servant of God, the priest’s faith has crumbled under the weight of an ancient, malevolent presence that has plagued the town for centuries—an evil that now holds him in its thrall. This force, far older than the church itself, has manipulated Father Jacob’s mind, turning him into a vessel for its insidious hunger. The entity, bound by a pact of old, demands the purest form of sacrifice: the souls of innocent children.
Father Jacob’s rituals begin innocently enough, masked by his solemn appearance and compassionate facade. He uses his position as a trusted cleric to lure children—vulnerable, lonely, and often abandoned by their families—into his church. At first, he tells the parents that their children are in need of "spiritual cleansing" or "protection" from unseen forces, convincing them that the church can save them. The children are eager to please their parents, unaware that the sanctuary they are entering is anything but holy.
Inside the darkened church, the atmosphere grows thick with an oppressive, unholy energy. The walls, once adorned with comforting symbols of faith, have begun to warp under the weight of the dark force, twisting into grotesque shapes that resemble monstrous figures and demonic faces. Father Jacob’s ritual begins with a series of chants in a forgotten tongue—words that have not been spoken for centuries but carry with them the weight of unspeakable horror.

January 02, 2025 Englisch Lernen mit mysteriösen Mordern / Interview Volkshochschule Wetterau Hessen in Deutschland
In dem Interview spricht Dr. Celeste Fabrie über ihren Hintergrund und wie ihre Tätigkeit als Englischlehrerin und Autorin sich gegenseitig ergänzen. Sie wurde in den 1960er Jahren in Südafrika geboren und wuchs während der Apartheid auf, was ihre Sicht auf die Welt prägte. 1992 zog sie nach Deutschland und unterrichtet seit 2014 Englisch an der VHS Wetterau. Ihre Leidenschaft fürs Unterrichten begann eher zufällig, aber sie fand es sehr erfüllend, anderen zu helfen, eine neue Sprache zu lernen. Gleichzeitig begann sie mit dem Schreiben einer Krimi-Reihe, die mit ihrer Lehrtätigkeit in Verbindung steht und beide Aktivitäten auf spannende Weise ergänzt.
Dr. Fabrie erklärt, dass beide Tätigkeiten – das Unterrichten und das Schreiben – auf Kommunikation und dem Verständnis für Menschen basieren. In ihren Englischkursen fördert sie das Erlernen der Sprache durch Gespräche, Geschichten und kulturelle Kontexte. Diese Herangehensweise setzt sie auch in ihren Büchern um. Ihre Werke, wie zum Beispiel The Silent Web, bieten spannende Geschichten, die nicht nur unterhalten, sondern auch zum Nachdenken anregen und ihre Leser inspirieren. Viele ihrer Kursteilnehmer, die Englisch lernen, finden in ihren Büchern ein interessantes Medium, um sowohl sprachlich als auch emotional oder intellektuell dazuzulernen.
Dr. Fabrie erklärt weiter, dass ihre Krimi-Reihe sich an Leser richtet, die an Themen wie Kriminalität, Psychologie und Technologie interessiert sind. Die Bücher sind zugänglich, bieten jedoch auch tiefgehende Inhalte. The Silent Web handelt von Dr. Evelyn Cross, einer Psychologin, die in eine Reihe mysteriöser Morde verwickelt wird, die mit ihren ehemaligen Patienten zu tun haben. Dr. Fabrie glaubt, dass Krimis besonders gut für das Sprachenlernen geeignet sind, weil sie die Leser fesseln und motivieren, weiterzulesen, wodurch sie ganz nebenbei neue Vokabeln und grammatikalische Strukturen aufnehmen.
In ihren Büchern lässt sich Dr. Fabrie oft von den Fragen und Interessen ihrer Kursteilnehmer inspirieren, was ihr hilft, neue Perspektiven und Ideen in ihre Geschichten einzubringen. Gleichzeitig unterstützt ihr Schreiben ihr Verständnis für verschiedene Denkweisen und kulturelle Kontexte, was sie wiederum in ihren Kursen verwenden kann.
Für die Zukunft plant Dr. Fabrie, bis Dezember sieben Bücher in ihrer Reihe zu veröffentlichen. Das letzte Buch, Brain Catcher: Echoes of Tomorrow, wird einen tiefen Einblick in die unsichtbaren Dimensionen der menschlichen Psyche geben. Sie hofft, dass ihre Bücher sowohl für Englischlernende als auch für andere Leser eine interessante und bereichernde Lektüre darstellen.
Das Interview endet mit einem Dank an Dr. Fabrie und guten Wünschen für ihre Buchreihe und ihren Unterricht.

December 23, 2024 "A Hand on Your Shoulder: Finding Strength in the Storm"
Hello, my dear friends. Welcome to this special episode. It's that time of year when we really need a helping hand or just some emotional support to encourage us. Today, I want to speak directly to someone out there who needs that little extra encouragement. Maybe it’s you. Maybe you’re carrying something heavy that you don’t talk about, or perhaps you’ve been feeling like life’s weight is just… too much. This is your moment. I’m here for you.
Take a deep breath with me—right now. Breathe in... and out. Feel your shoulders relax just a little. Let’s make this time together a sanctuary, a moment of peace, a place where you’re understood and supported.
I want to remind you of something important: You are not alone. It may feel like the walls are closing in, like no one sees what you’re going through. But I see you. Not literally, of course. But I know the courage it takes to wake up and face another day when things feel unbearable. And that courage? That’s your strength. It’s proof that you are resilient, even when you don’t feel it.
Let’s talk about something practical. When life feels overwhelming, the mind often spirals into a whirlwind of what-ifs and should-haves. You start to believe every harsh thought that runs through your mind, as though they’re facts. But here’s the truth: Not every thought is true. Not every thought deserves your energy. Imagine your mind as a garden. You can’t stop every weed from popping up, but you can decide what you water. Focus on nurturing the seeds of hope, kindness to yourself, and small victories.

September 22, 2024 Cutting Through the Noise: Finding Purpose in a World Full of Social Media Distractions
Today’s episode is a big one, and it's something that I think touches all of us, no matter how old you are or where you're from. We’re going to dive deep into a topic that’s been weighing on a lot of minds lately—how modern life is making us feel lost, overwhelmed, and disconnected. Why, in this age of social media, 24/7 news cycles, and instant everything, do we feel more isolated and unhappy than ever?
Let’s start with the basics: "overstimulation". We are bombarded by so much information all the time—whether it’s news, social media posts, or endless notifications—that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Everyone’s trying to keep up, from teenagers glued to their phones to older generations who feel like they’re being left behind. We’re all being pulled into this whirlwind of needing to be “on” all the time, to be liked, to feel relevant. And let's face it—social media is probably the biggest culprit here. Instead of helping us connect, it’s driving us further apart, making us question ourselves, compare ourselves, and feel like we’re not enough.
So, why is everyone so unhappy? Think about it. Even though we have all this “connection,” people are lonelier than ever. Instead of living for real-life relationships, many of us are living for likes, comments, and the validation we get online. We’re trapped in this cycle where we feel like we have to prove ourselves—prove that our lives are exciting, prove that we’re happy, prove that we’re successful. But deep down, we know it’s not real. And that’s exhausting.
What I want to talk about today is the search for meaning, and why it feels like more and more people are going through this existential crisis right now. Look at the world—it's changing fast. We’ve got economic instability, political tension, climate change, wars—it’s no wonder we’re all feeling a bit lost. The world is uncertain, and when the ground beneath us feels shaky, we start asking, “What’s the point? What really matters?” This is happening across generations. Whether you’re a teenager struggling to find your identity or a parent worried about your family’s future, everyone’s asking these deep questions.

June 02, 2024 Replacing Weapons with Hemp Seeds - World Seed Treaty
Did you know that the current global military spending exceeds $1.9 trillion annually. Redirecting just 10% of this amount could provide hemp seed, education and training to millions of families, fostering food security and economic independence. Today, I will be discussing a visionary aspect where Industrial Hemp Seeds could change the world agricultural and geopolitical imbalance right now. And why? In a world grappling with climatic catastrophic conditions, geopolitical conflicts, severe water shortages, soil erosion, and escalating poverty, industrial hemp emerges as an unexpected saviour. Governments worldwide, compelled by the urgency of sustaining their populations, should embark on a bold initiative to make hemp a primary crop. This ancient plant, once overshadowed by more lucrative but less sustainable crops, proves to be a keystone in addressing multiple global crises.
