The Hamster Who No Longer Wanted to Run
Huno pauses, leaves the wheel behind and discovers slowness, connection and the courage to hear his own path again.
Voluntary support
If you enjoy Free Bird or Huno, you can choose a supporter edition in the shop. Your contribution supports me as the author, future stories and the growing Jack of all Trades network.
Support is optional. Both books will remain available to read online in full and free of charge.
The shelf is growing
Two more works are planned. The library is designed so every new book can have a quiet place of its own.
About the books
This library is not an endless product catalogue. It is a place for individual stories, illustrations and quiet discoveries.
The books carry traces of a personal journey: inner questions become characters, paths and images. There is room for that here without having to explain every story completely.
Artificial intelligence was used consciously as a tool for design, translation and technical implementation. It expanded what was possible and supported individual steps, but it did not set the direction: the heart of the books, their questions and the journey from which they emerged are deeply personal.
Free Bird and Huno can be read in full, free of charge, directly in the browser. A voluntary contribution starting at €1 will first be tested for Huno. The next works will include a free sample, with deliberately modest prices of €2 and €3+ for the complete digital editions.
For parents & readers
Free Bird is available in English, and Huno in German and English. Both can be read in full online for free, with no download or registration. This library is one of my first tentative steps and my first way of sending these books out into the wider world. Every downloaded supporter edition supports not only me as the author, but also the growing Jack of all Trades network—and creates space for future stories, illustrations and shared projects.
