About Skybridge

March 2, 2026

I have now started to offer this website in English as well. Over the next few weeks, more and more pages will gradually become available in English. Please bear with me, as I have to do all the translations myself with limited tools at my disposal, it may take a while until every page is ready.

In the meantime, unfortunately, there is no news regarding the book. I am still looking for a suitable publisher. Next stop: Leipzig Book Fair. Let's see if something comes of it. I will keep you posted.

Skybridge is a project that began more than four thousanddays ago with a series of puzzles. Since then, the fates of Hamises, Adlem, the Selutam, Jondr, Ankh Lessep, the Immortal Guinn and all the others have taken hold of me and never let go. Without being able to foresee the consequences, I wrote down their story, just as I wanted to read it. I realised early on that just the first part of it would fill a book. What was surprising was that I actually finished it.

Even more surprising is that the story of the two worlds, Thraen and Beeledhans Eye, also captivated Michael Rieneck. His board game about Skybridge, which he developed together with me as co-author, will be released by Deep-Print Games in a few days. The fact that the board game has overtaken the publication of the book was not intentional and can be attributed to my naive, unplanned approach and my limited, self-taught writing abilities. Or perhaps also to the overwhelming competition in the stressed book market. 
Time will tell whether Skybridge can find its way to a book publisher. In any case, I will stay on the proverbial ball.

In the meantime, I hope this website will offer you, the players of Skybridge, a deeper insight into the worlds of Thraen and Beeledhans Eye.

I am already writing the next part of the story and will keep you updated on further developments here.

Enjoy the aftergreen, the night longs to be long!
