We hope you will join us for Leigh Turner and his book Eternal Life.
​A THRILLER FOR A WORLD OBSESSED BY LIVING LONGER

In a time where life is traded on Wall Street and a newborn baby is worth $300 million, the murder of 10,290 people at the Hughes Procreation Center in Santa Monica seems senseless. Pursued by killers and cops, special agents Jake Parker and Sandy Banks must survive, fight and find love to solve a globe-spanning crime buried at the rotten core of a corrupt society.

Leigh Turner is a writer and former British ambassador to Ukraine and Austria.
He grew up in Nigeria, Lesotho, Swaziland and Manchester, England and attended Cambridge University. 
 
Leigh's diplomatic career took him to Vienna, Moscow, Kyiv, Berlin, Hong Kong,
Vladivostok, Miami, St Helena, Buenos Aires, Beijing, Bermuda, Samarkand, Istanbul and Las Vegas.  

Leigh's books include the Berlin thriller Blood Summit, his satirical thriller Eternal Life and his darkly comic Seven Hotel Stories. His Istanbul thriller Palladium will be published in May 2022
 
Leigh's diplomatic handbook, The Hitch-hiker’s Guide to Diplomacy, will be published in spring 2023. 
​You can find out more about him at at his rleighturner.com blog.

    Please let us know if you can come!

Walking into Alchemy: The Transformative Power of Nature
Exhausted and wounded after coping with redundancy and depression, Amelia Marriette suddenly found her life taking a turn for the better through a chance meeting with an Austrian-born woman, Katie, with whom she was to find love. The couple relocated to Austria and Amelia set out on a journey both physical and spiritual, a journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation through the exploration of nature, centered on her resolution to complete the same 13-mile walk through the hills and woods of beautiful Carinthia every week for a year. By the time that year was over, Amelia knew she had found healing, peace and true happiness

Alchemie Des Gehens: Selbstfindung in der Natur
Würdest du auf deinen Körper hören, wenn er dir sagt, dass du wandern gehen sollst?
Amelia Marriette hat es getan. Und genau das hat ihr Leben komplett verändert.
Amelia arbeitete in ihrem Traumjob als Kunstkuratorin in einem Museum in South Devon in Großbritannien, als sie nach sieben Jahren ihren Job verlor. Es folgten Depression und gesundheitliche Probleme. Aber ihr Leben wandte sich
zum Besseren, als sie zufällig die österreichische Künstlerin Katie traf, mit der sie Liebe finden sollte. Das Paar zog nach Kärnten in Österreich und in Katies Heimatstadt Bad Sankt Leonhard, wo Amelia beschloss, ein Jahr lang jede Woche
denselben 21 Kilometer langen Wanderweg zu absolvieren. Ihre wöchentlichen Wanderungen wurden zu einer Reise der Selbstfindung und führten sie zurück zu Gesundheit und Erfüllung.
