But Thomas meant it to be “more than a band”, a sort of “music and art collective with an ever-changing cast”. Released earlier this month, Postcards from Berlin… Read More Music Review: [debut] – ‘Postcards from Berlin’

Similarly, I would like to think that most reporters are searching for the truth and not to sell a story; they play such a big role when it comes to us understanding our reality… Read More Book Review: ‘Beyond Suspicion’ by Catherine A.

I have been working on a short story collection with, amongst others, Maeve. The topic is the real meaning of heroism, so no wonder that her recent review of the Netflix documentary “Virunga” captured my attention and made the cut for this month’s Maeve’s Monthly Movie Review feature.
