Summary

A miller's son
The Dream of Fame
The first contract 


Ever since he was young, singer and guitarist Florian Müller has wanted to be a successful musician. When the famous producer Dietmar Weiss offers him a record deal, he sees his dream within reach. Without thinking twice, he signs the contract. 


But then he has doubts. Was it really wise to give away the rights to his song so lightly? What if the Schlager producer messes up his metal ballad completely? Flo feverishly searches for a way out - and then singer Mia enters his life... 


Rumpelstiltskin in a different way: In "The First Song", author Susanne Eisele retells the well-known fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm and deals with the lure of quick fame, the pitfalls of the music industry and the solidarity among friends. 


Volume 14 from the ranks of the fairy tale spinning mill

    Since the beginning of human interaction, there have been storytellers who have spun tales to inspire and capture the imagination. In homage to Golding's Lord of the Flies and the act of flinging a gauntlet before a duel, these two writers, Gordon Bonnet, and Marlon S. Hayes, have shown their multi-genre talents. 
Two guys in a bar, grandmas, fathers and sons, and myths are a few of the themes in this collection, and the results are noteworthy, entertaining, and soul filling. What if an opportunity arose to have a conversation with one's younger self? Or, what if the pictures on the wall started whispering warnings? Ever imagined how an orc might view humans? What about an epic road trip across America's heartland where anger and grief also ride along? Exactly. 
It's a duel of well-written short stories, with each writer inspiring the other to continue to ascend with their storytelling skills. It's not a competition, simply an acknowledgement of each other's talents.

But when a rogue tech company hacks into their world, he must join forces with the unlikeliest of allies: a human female. Her name is Devon Abrams. A rising star at the firm, she has no idea that her boss is in league with the sinister Fae and their secret war against humanity. If Anson gains her trust, he can defeat the enemy from within. But first he must fight his own attraction—to this exquisitely beautiful mortal . . .  
Devon loves her job at the firm. But sometimes she wishes she could find a man—a real man—who isn't threatened by her success. When she first meets Anson, she's overwhelmed by his powerful masculine presence and disarmingly gorgeous smile. But when he reveals his true mission—and his ability to transform into a dragon—she's irresistibly drawn into an epic battle between humans and immortals, magic and technology, danger and desire. Anson vows to protect her from the Fae. But can he control the flames of passion that blaze within his heart?

One wrong decision will cost Elle the town she’s been entrusted with, the lives of the people she’s unexpectedly grown to love, and her very existence. Can she save the humans she loves without sacrificing her chance at happiness? Or will she let duty overcome desire and be forced to witness the destruction of everyone she holds dear?
