Well it’s memorial day weekend and I get to work on Alraune a bit. My goal is to complete one chapter every month at the least and I’m falling behind. This is mainly because my everyday job has picked up and I’m working five 10 hour days plus weekend work and daily security runs where I live. In this economy having too much work is a blessing so I can’t complain.
Visitors to Anarchist World remain steady. On scribd.com my books Magister Templi and Modern Survivalism draw many more readers than the fiction stories.
There is more OAK material but it is about group energy and as long as there is no group there can be no material. OAK is a movement that will either catch on or die. I’ve made the information as freely available as possible. Time will tell.
I’ve thought quite a bit about the general public and what makes things popular. The final conclusion is that self-evident truth will appeal to everyone.
Regarding the Hanns Heinz Ewers projects I’ve realized that I would rather spend my spare time doing quality translations of this fascinating writer than any other writer and I seem to have a knack for it.
I continue to pick up source material at every opportunity and currently have years worth of translation material that I want to read and translate. In competition with this is the growing need and desire to try my hand at screenplays. I fully intend to make a screen play of Alraune after I finish translating the book.
The Alraune blog is currently active and every few days I’m putting more on it. For those wanting to keep up with the latest that is where to find me.
I will have the entire Frank Braun trilogy translated within the next four years as well as some other stories. I can translate at least twice as fast as I can write my own material and I need to get more books out. Alraune will be my sixth book believe it or not. Lakes Area Pagan Book of Shadows will collect the first four volumes of Lakes Area Pagan into a full color hard cover book that will be out this summer or next fall.
till next time,
-joe
