2026 will be an interesting year. There is a good chance that my book will be completed. I can't make any promises, but I do have some big plans in the pipeline.

So, what's on the agenda? Of course, the proofreading continues. I'm currently working on chapter 45 of 66. However, as I want to achieve the best possible result, I have already contacted a professional editor. She will read my book again and make corrections and suggestions for improvement. This work will begin in early March. Unfortunately, this means a large investment for me (probably around 5,000 €). However, I was aware of this from the very beginning and I believe it is worth the money. I repeat: I want to achieve the best possible result. For this purpose, I may use crowdfunding to help me with the financing.

The cover of my book is basically finished. A few minor details are missing, but that can wait. I think I'll take care of that once the book has been completely proofread.

I am sticking to my original plan to publish the book in my native language (German) first. Unfortunately, my contacts with German agencies have not been fruitful. I will try again in 2026. But I am not a fool. I know that my target audience is out there in the big wide world. Another thing I have decided to do is to contact an international publisher. I have already found a suitable publisher who is familiar with topics such as fantasy and furry. I would like to make contact with them in January.

Well, those are my plans for 2026. I'll keep you posted.
