First impressions from the Frankfurt Book Fair 2013. I was at at the stand of my German publishing house Riva with Foreign-rights director Maria Pinto-Peuckmann, Presslady Tina Nollau and Editorial Director Matthias Setzler. The first picture shows me with the Austrian Restaurant-owner and Catering-expert Haya Molcho, who presented her new cookbook Balagan! at the stand of her publisher Südwest.

Promoting my new book “On a Secret Mission” (In geheimer Mission, Riva Verlag, München, 2013) at the Austrian TV-Show “STÖCKL.” together with the well-known Austrian actress Ursula Strauss, who plays a female cop at the Austrian police TV-series “Schnell ermittelt “ („Commissioner Schnell investigates”) a series, that has been sold this year to Sony/Paradigma in the USA and will be filmed as a remake. Then “Neni”-Restaurant owner and Caterer Haya Molcho and rapper-lawyer Gérard, who presented his first album “Blausicht” who sold one million albums and will be on tour in 2014. Barbara Stöckl was our host and presenter of the show.

At a private Champaign reception sponsored by the oldest french Champaignhouse Gosset (founded in 1584) and arranged on december 16 in 2011 with the kind assistance of my dearest friends, international pilots and readers with the phantastic support of more than 20 worldwide active companies, German actor Robert Lohr did a reading from my book „Mythos Pilot – von Abenteurern und coolen Typen“ (published at Molden Verlag) in front of 150 VIP-guests from all over the world, including Capt. Matthew Mattson from US-Air Force, Capt. Robert Schornsteiner from ÖAMTC, private pilot and widow of 2nd World War-heroe Luftwaffe General and flying ace Adolf Galland, Heidi Galland, the president of the „Ninety Nines„-section in Austria, Capt. Monika Stahl, as well as the charming Capt. Cornelia Wolf from Air Berlin. Robert Lohr who is one of the „pilots“ that I have interviewed in my book, plays currently in two of the most successful German TV-series: In „Die Bergretter – The mountain rescuers“ (made by ZDF, a public-service German television broadcaster) he is cast as „Michael Dörfler“, a rescue pilot. And in „The last cop“ (made by SAT 1, the first privately owned television broadcasting in Germany) he is cast as „Roland Meisner“, the pathologist. Both series have a tremendous success with over 15 Million people from the European Union watching them. The event-location itself was unique at the 21st and 22nd floor in one of the highest towers in Vienna – the PORR-tower. For all of you, who couldn´t attend the reception, my friend, photographer and collegue, Michael Hetzmannseder, has made some cool pictures:
