Story Blurb

Non-binary college student Art Haeberlin isn’t used to being so frustrated, especially with their brother, Tristan, who seems to be avoiding them. But when their mother calls with news that Tristan’s gone missing—his truck flipped, an unknown person’s blood on his front seat—the ambitious Art pushes that irritation to the side, dropping everything for a chance to bring him home.

Reclusive Tristan longs for escape—from his dead-end job, his childhood bedroom frozen in time, and from himself. When he starts dreaming of a mysterious woman singing him a haunting lullaby, he gets the escape he craves, drawing him to a derelict house within his rural Midwestern hometown, and into her arms. The innocuous-looking woman, however, is not who she seems. A blood-sucking siren, she’s been ensnaring people for decades, forging a bloody brood of vampire-like monsters before killing them off one-by-one—and Tristan’s next.

To rescue Tristan and the others caught in her web, Art will have to infiltrate the house soaked in death before it’s too late. But houses where you can’t tell who is and isn’t a ghost are better left abandoned and if Art isn’t successful, they’ll not only lose their brother, but also become the alluring Vivienne’s next victim.

What I need

A "yes, these edits work" or "no, they don't" read, which I can elaborate more on if interested. (It's mostly a read on a new story structure.)

What I don't need

I don't need any sort of grammar/editorial assistance, which includes developmental or copy/line edits.

When do I need it

The story is ready now and I'd love feedback ASAP. However, I'd be fine as long as I received the feedback by March 31 at the very latest.

Let me know if you're interested!

Margarete Haeberlin Rudolphi (1879-1954) pintora alemana.

Nació en Potsdam. Era hija del oficial de la corte real Franz Haeberlin y su esposa Fanny, de soltera Braun. Pasó su infancia en Potsdam, donde sus padres vivían en la parte sur del Neuer Garten.

Con un permiso especial de la oficina del mariscal de la corte, la joven con talento artístico recibió una pasantía en las colecciones de arte reales en 1894, donde aprendió de forma autodidacta a pintar mediante la copia de cuadros.

En el primer año, Margarete Haeberlin, de 15 años, dibujó bodegones con platos y verduras al carboncillo y, en los años siguientes, sus primeras acuarelas y óleos.

En 1894, el director de las colecciones de arte de los palacios reales de Prusia, Paul Seidel, certificó que había copiado pinturas de las posesiones de Su Majestad el Emperador y el Rey y que había demostrado un estudio agudo y profundo del arte. Este certificado le permitió estudiar en la Real Academia de las Artes de Berlín en 1897.

Durante este tiempo creó numerosos bodegones , pinturas de flores y paisajes utilizando diversas técnicas pictóricas, con motivos del paisaje de Brandeburgo. A lo largo de su vida marcó su obra con el sello “M. H.”.

En 1901, Margarete se casó con el pintor Johannes Rudolphi, quien se hizo un nombre como pintor paisajista impresionista tardío independiente . Después de su matrimonio, se doblegó a las convenciones, abandonó su trabajo en el caballete y se dedicó a su familia. El primer hijo, el posterior arquitecto Hellmut, nació en 1902. Wolfram nació en 1906 y se formó como pintor y artista gráfico.

Después de mudarse a su propia casa con estudio en Berlín-Schlachtensee, Margarete retomó lentamente su trabajo artístico a partir de 1910. Comenzó a pintar porcelana e hizo cocer sus motivos florales y vegetales en la Real Manufactura de Porcelana de Berlín (KPM). Debido a la gran demanda, se dedicó exclusivamente a esta nueva tarea a partir de 1920.

Margarete Rudolphi murió en Berlín-Dahlem y fue enterrada junto a sus padres y su marido, fallecido cuatro años antes, en el cementerio de Potsdam-Bornstedt.

5. Dezember: Dr.-Carl-Haeberlin-Friesenmuseum

Wyk auf Föhr, Schleswig-Holstein, Deutschland

Als sie aus dem Bus ausstiegen, war das Erste, was sie sahen, ein gewaltiger Torbogen aus Walkieferknochen, ein Erinnerungsstück an die Zeit, als die Insel noch hauptsächlich vom Walfang gelebt hatte. Dahinter lag das große Reetdachhaus, in dem das Museum untergebracht war. “Pfui Teufel!”, schimpfte Torte laut, als er zwischen den bleichen Pfeilern des seltsamen Tores stand. “Ich hasse es, unter den Knochen von ermordeten singenden Fischen durchzugehen.”

Auf welcher Nordseeinsel sich das Buch tatsächlich abspielt, wird nie erwähnt. Aber da sich in Wyk eben so ein Tor aus Walkieferknochen befindet...

Location:          Illhaeusern, France

Photographer:  Eric Laignel

Even in the rarefied world of haute cuisine, the Hôtel des Berges's restaurant is exceptional. This beloved gastronomic institution was opened by Frédéric Haeberlin in 1882 as a modest country inn on the river Ill in Alsace. The cooking was done by his wife and later by their daughter and daughter-in-law. A grandson, Paul Haeberlin, won his first Michelin star in 1952, a second in 1957, and the third in 1967. His son, fourth-generation chef Marc Haeberlin, is now in the kitchen.

Interior Design Hall of Fame member Patrick Jouin and his partner, Sanjit Manku, recently completed their second renovation of the restaurant, celebrating its 50th year of Michelin triple-stardom. Jouin describes the 4,250-square-foot update as “an enchanted moment for diners in communion with nature.” Like overhead reflecting pools, enormous mirror-polished stainless-steel disks ripple on the ceiling. A panoramic mural in marquetry, a typically Alsatian craft, depicts a moonlit riverbank with a heron and storks in flight. On the floor, swaths of wool carpet in cerulean and aquamarine, deepening into a riverbed ocher, “bring the spirit of the river inside,” Manku adds. Finally, a shimmering wall—combining oxidized copper, more than a dozen fabrics, embroidered butterflies, and paper songbirds—adds a flash of fairy-tale fantasy.

"Some centuries after Yunus lived, a collection of his songs came into the hands of a certain orthodox and narrow-minded cleric by the name of Mullah Kasim. This Mullah Kasim sat himself down on the bank of a stream and began to read Yunus's lyrics. Reading through song after song, the Mullah could be heard to mutter the word 'blasphemy,' crumpling that particular page and throwing it into the stream. Unfortunately, he had gone through about two-thirds of the collection before he read the line in which Yunus reminds himself, 'Speak truly, for one day a Mullah Kasim will judge you.'

At that point the Mullah stopped discarding pages. The lyrics that were not cast upon the waters comprise what we know of Eunus's work today." --introduction to Helminski & Algan's translation of Yunus Emre, The Drop that Became the Sea (1989)

DIAGNOSTIC DE TERRITOIRE

Le triangle transfrontalier entre Bâle, Mulhouse et Fribourg: territoire riche en ressources nourricières

Le Rhin, fleuve effleuré par le regard de milliers d’habitants de la Suisse jusqu’au Pays-Bas, constitue une des plus longues frontières naturelles d’Europe et donne son nom à l’Europe Rhénane marqué par un passé et un avenir qui font bouillir les imaginaires. Le site d’étude commun prend place autour de ce fleuve, dans sa partie haute, entre Bâle (Suisse), Mulhouse (France) et Fribourg (Allemagne).

Notre première approche a été de cartographier ce territoire transfrontalier pour observer ce qui relie et différencie ces bouts de pays. Les espaces urbanisés, tâches blanches sur la carte, sont finalement presque insignifiants au regard de l’abondance des espaces naturels: la forêt des Vosges et la forêt Noire encadrent magistralement le Rhin et celui-ci, tout comme les villes, est bordé par des terrains agricoles et viticoles en particulier du côté de l'Allemagne et de la France. Cette composition nous interroge, a fortiori, sur les ressources nourricières de ce territoire : quels liens entretiennent ces terrains avec les espaces urbains transfrontaliers ? Les villes sont-elles approvisionnées de manière homogène ?

En France, la loi de remembrement de 1954 avait pour but de constituer des exploitations agricoles d’un seul tenant sur de plus grandes parcelles. La conséquence de cette loi est aujourd’hui particulièrement visible à la frontière franco-allemande: de grand étendu agricole en France servant une mono-culture régionale (le maïs pour l’Alsace), et une sophistication du parcellaire agricole en Allemagne, porteur d’une grande diversité de culture ausein même de la région de Bade-wurtemberg.

Mulhouse, ville post-industrielle: une fracture sociale jusque dans l’assiette

Mulhouse, ville impériale. Mulhouse, ville-république. Mulhouse, ville industrielle exemplaire. Depuis le moyen-âge et jusqu’à la fin de l’ère industrielle, la ville de Mulhouse n’a cessé de rayonner. Aujourd’hui, elle est confrontée, comme toutes ses villes-cousines industrielles, à des difficultés urbaines et matérielles: chômage, délabrement du bâti, paupérisation de la population… Situé près de Strasbourg et de Colmar (les joyaux de l’Alsace), près de Bâle (ville suisse modèle) et près de Fribourg (ville référente du concept d’éco-quartier), Mulhouse peine désormais à rayonner et surtout, à se renouveler.

Et pour cause, la situation sociale de la ville a très peu évolué depuis les années 50, elle est encore fortement marquée par l’héritage industriel qui divise les habitants selon une classe patronale riche et une classe ouvrière précaire. Cette fracture sociale se ressent géographiquement par la présence de quartiers aisés au sud, et de quartiers prioritaires au centre et au nord. Témoin de cette fracture sociale, la restauration mulhousienne se divise entre restaurants gastronomiques et chaînes de restauration rapide, illustrant les écarts des paniers moyens des habitants

Le bien-manger pour tous était pourtant une préoccupation des villes industrielles, comme en témoignent les jardins ouvriers, ces lopins de terre destinés aux ouvriers pour une culture potagère et nourricière.

CONCLUSION: Frontière sociale au sein de la ville, frontière culturelle avec les villes transfrontalières, l'alimentation, pourtant sujet universel, témoigne des fractures qui habitent et contraignent un même tissu urbain

CHOIX ET HISTOIRE DU SITE

Un patrimoine industriel en friche: l’ancien site de la SACM

Le site de la Société Alsacienne de Constructions Mécaniques a traversé près de deux siècles et est aujourd’hui partiellement reconverti et partiellement en friche. Avec une trentaine de bâtiments, il occupe encore près de 6 hectares dans le quartier de la Fonderie, au sud-est de la ville et constitue un patrimoine industriel et un foncier disponible d’une grande ampleur.

Tenu entre le canal de l’Ill, qui servait autrefois de lieu de détente pour les ouvriers, et le chemin de fer reliant Bâle à Strasbourg, nous l’avons perçu lors de notre visite comme une invitation à la contemplation. Pour des raisons de sécurité, le périmètre de l’ancien site de la SACM est aujourd’hui entièrement muré à l'exception de l’entrée sud. Au nord du site, la façade donnant sur le canal de l’Ill est en effet impénétrable. Sur ce lieu de promenade dominicale, les espoirs d’une ouverture du site au public sont palpables.

Leclerc, symbole d’une consommation alimentaire globalisé

A l’est du site de la SACM, le centre-ville se situe à moins de 10min à pied mais depuis 2004, l’enseigne Leclerc, accompagné de son bâtiment préfabriqué et de son parking, s’est installé entre les deux. Cet édifice bloque non seulement le potentiel d’accessibilité au site, mais est également le symbole d’une consommation alimentaire de masse, déconnectée d’une agriculture locale. L’idée de faire face à une telle surface de vente en proposant des produits locaux, c’est l’idée de lui faire concurrence et d’espérer son obsolescence.

CONCLUSION: Ainsi, l’intérêt pour ce site est triple: réhabiliter un patrimoine industriel dans une optique de rendre public ce site, riche d’histoire et de qualités paysagères, aux Mulhousiennes et Mulhousiens. Créer une offre alimentaire alternative, en s’opposant à une consommation alimentaire de masse.

INTENTION PROGRAMMATIQUE

L’association EPICES, la réinsertion des jeunes “décrocheurs” par la cuisine

Mulhouse, ville de 110 000 habitants, compte 6 collèges en zone d’éducation prioritaire soit un tiers de la zone académique de Strasbourg. Depuis 2009, l’association Espaces de Projets d’Insertion Cuisine et Santé, favorise l’apprentissage de la cuisine pour les adolescents en difficulté dans leur scolarité. Isabelle Haeberlin, qui est à l’origine du projet, aborde la cuisine comme “un des premiers lieux d’éducation et de socialisation”. Définition auquel nous adhérons. Lors de notre rencontre avec les acteurs de l’association, ils nous ont partagé un aspect regrettable: après avoir pris goût à la cuisine, les collégiens ont très peu de choix de formation dans l’agglomération Mulhousienne. La plupart, pour ceux qui en ont les moyens, partent à Strasbourg ou à Guebwiller. Cette information a guidé l’intention primaire et immuable du projet, c'est-à-dire celle de proposer un lieu de formation culinaire type BEP et CAP pour ces jeunes et participer à l’impulsion de cette association.

Composer un programme: une table de 400m de long?

“ Un monde d’objet se tient entre ceux qui l’ont en commun, comme une table est situé entre ceux qui s’assoient autour d’elle. Le monde, comme tout entre-deux, relie et sépare en même temps les hommes” Hannah Arendt

La table, ce plateau universel et multiforme répondant à des besoins universels et multiformes, est un projet en soi, une manière d’être ensemble. C’est ce que nous apprend Hannah Arendt dans cette citation et c’est à partir de cette idée que le programme a été composé. Tout comme la table qui est déclinable en objet de travail, de jeu ou de présentation, les espaces du projet sont pensés avec une diversité d’usage allant de l’espace pédagogique jusqu’à la culture potagère. Tout comme la table autour de laquelle des personnes s’installent et s’en vont, sur laquelle des objets sont installés puis débarrassés, le projet est pensé à partir des flux (humains, de produits alimentaires et de déchets) dans un cercle qui se veut vertueux.

CONCLUSION: Finalement, polariser la vie et le partage autour de l’alimentation s'apparente à une forme universelle et multiforme. Comme une table de 400m de long, le projet propose d’expérimenter la mixité sous toutes ses latitudes.

INTENTION VOLUMÉTRIQUE

Réhabiliter un patrimoine industriel: tisser une nappe entre l’existant et le neuf

Face à la réhabilitation d’un ancien site industriel de plus de 25 000m2 au sol, notre attitude à été celle d’un artisan textile. Comment tisser du vide et construire du neuf à partir d’un existant, sans le dénaturer ? Pour ce faire, les œuvres d’Anni Albers, artiste du Bauhaus, nous ont profondément guidées. Les volumes transversales de l’existant, en noir sur le tableau, sont adoptés en tant que ligne dominante du tissage.

L’unité du projet se lit avec l’ossature métallique, laquelle est servante d’un plan libre et d’une mise en valeur des murs massifs en brique existant. Cette ossature métallique est également reprise pour la création de serres horticoles et de serres habitées, adoptant un langage plus moderne dans la lecture globale du projet.

CONCLUSION: Le dessin du vide à partir de l’existant offre de nouvelles frontalités dans un espace rendu complètement public. Cependant, une autre interrogation subsiste: comment intervenir dans un site patrimonial en ayant une réflexion prospective?

More Quarantine Reading

While the rest of the country has been stuck at home with nothing to do, I’ve been in my happy place----reading! I keep up with the news (most of it has been heartbreaking), and I watch a few Bravo TV shows or binge watch Netflix, but reading is still my go-to when things get to be too much for me and I need to escape.  I don’t understand people who don’t enjoy reading; I firmly believe they just haven’t found the right books yet!

We Are All the Same in the Dark by Julia Haeberlin

Wyatt Branson finds a young girl on the side of the road. She’s got one eye and no desire to talk about it, or to talk about anything, actually.  Odette Tucker, a police officer and one-time girlfriend of Wyatt’s, takes the girl into her custody for her safety.  While all of this is going on, we start to learn Wyatt and Odette’s history, how Wyatt’s father and sister have been missing & presumed dead, how Odette became a cop, despite dealing with a disability.  There’s a lot more to this story, but I don’t want to get too far into it and accidentally cross over into the land of spoilers.  Haeberlin often writes about strong, complicated women from Texas, this book included.  I wasn’t sure how much I was going to like this one, especially since I wasn’t all that crazy about Odette (liking lead characters often times affects how well I like the book), but since I finished reading this one over a week ago and I’m still thinking about it, I’d say I liked it just fine.

The F List by Alessandra Torre

Emma has always wanted fame, and the money that goes along with it…and the easiest way she’s found to get it? Social media!  She uses Instagram more the way regular people  breathe air, with endorsements on everything from clothing to yoga studios---she “sells” her lifestyle.  When she’s asked to participate in a “Big Brother” type reality show with her secret crush and 5 other singles, she realizes that not everyone is who they portray on camera, although she’s having trouble proving that about herself.  I read this book because I read another by the author that I liked very much (Ghostwriter) and was hoping I would like this one, too.  Unfortunately, this was so predictable, I just wasn’t a fan. Written in a documentary style, with posts and interviews, all I could think of was how I’ve seen this type of writing done before…and done better.  Do I make a nasty pun about this being on the F-list for reasons other than fame, fortune, & followers?  Nah, you get it.

The Ultimate Switzerland Itinerary (2020)

From stunning lakes and epic mountains, to adventurous actions and stylish lodges, this Switzerland itinerary takes you on a whistle-stop tour of the nation’s highlights.

In the case of magical European adventures, a visit via Switzerland undoubtedly comes excessive on the record. It’s a compact sufficient nation to suit loads into one journey, however numerous sufficient to see and do loads.

I like which you can begin the day in a cosmopolitan metropolis, by the afternoon you might be biking previous a gorgeous lake and by the night you could possibly be snowboarding within the mountains! What number of locations provide that a lot selection?

Whereas there are many stunning spots you could possibly go to, I’m going to information you thru a route that provides a little bit of all the things, and provides you an summary of the very best issues to do in Switzerland.

It’s a visit I went on December with Most well-liked Accommodations, the world’s largest unbiased resort model, representing 750 lodges, resorts and residences throughout 85 nations. Nevertheless, it’d be equally as stunning (and loads much less snowy) in summer time months. Both means, you’ll go by Lake Geneva, snap pictures of the Matterhorn and luxuriate in all of the chocolate and cheese you could possibly dream of! What extra might you need on a Swiss street journey?!

Watch the video for a flavour of the journey, then discover out extra about our superior Switzerland itinerary…

  Finest time to go to Switzerland

Switzerland is an all-year vacation spot, however you’ll have to determine what sort of vacation you wish to go on earlier than deciding when to go to. These are your two principal choices….

A snow-filled, winter wonderland journey, with a keep within the mountains and loads of icy actions.

A sunshine-filled spring or summer time journey, the place you spend each second exterior, climbing, biking and having fun with lush valleys.

When it comes to temperatures, you may count on highs in summer time of 26 levels within the cities and lows in winter of -30 (within the mountains). With altitude to take care of, you may count on fairly a distinction in temperatures between cities like Geneva and high-alpine villages like Zermatt.

I ought to point out Switzerland is notoriously costly. There are methods to maintain costs down, however I feel it’s someplace to avoid wasting for a particular vacation – maybe a honeymoon, birthday or anniversary. Benefit from the plush lodges, gourmand eating places and create some particular reminiscences.

Champagne welcome at The Capra, Saas-Price

The way to get to Switzerland

There are many flights to Geneva and Zurich every day. From London it’s a fast journey (underneath an hour and a half) and for those who e book a window seat, you’ll be rewarded by beautiful views of the Swiss Alps in your journey.

My return flights from London had been round £150 (together with baggage), reserving simply three weeks earlier than travelling. In the event you plan additional prematurely, or are capable of take the earliest flights of the day, you’ll find offers for underneath £50 return. Whereas I’ve talked about it’s most likely not a rustic to go to on a finances, the flights are extremely affordable.

Lake Geneva from Montreux, Switzerland

In the event you’re already primarily based in mainland Europe, there are many trains connecting all the foremost cities and cities too, together with Zurich, Geneva, Bern and Lausanne.

When you’ve reached Switzerland I’d advocate hiring a automobile so you may discover the nation by yourself time. It’s a gorgeous nation for a street journey, particularly when you get into the alps.

If driving doesn’t fill you with pleasure, then don’t fear – most locations are accessibly by public transport. You would possibly discover it useful to select up Swiss Journey Move which covers transport within the nation by rail, street and waterway, and is out there for journeys between Three days and 15 days.

How lengthy to spend in Switzerland?

I’d advocate spending 5 days in Switzerland to actually really feel such as you’ve had a flavour of the nation as a complete. Nevertheless, for those who’re restricted to a shorter size of time, you could possibly cram an honest overview of the nation into three well-planned days.

A 5-Day Switzerland Itinerary

There are many locations you could possibly go to, however I’ve targeted on three principal areas – Lausanne / Lake Geneva, Saas-Price within the Swiss Alps, and Zermatt near the Matterhorn.

LAUSANNE ITINERARY

Discover town of Lausanne

Lausanne is a really fairly metropolis, with a shocking Gothic cathedral, historic buildings with vibrant facades and a buzzy procuring scene. I’d advocate a wander via town centre, climbing the Escaliers du Marché (picket stairs which might be over 400 years previous) to the cathedral, then climbing to the highest of the tower for an excellent panoramic view of town.

Exploring Lausanne metropolis centre

Afterwards, head right down to Les Arches, a novel bar set contained in the archways of the Grand Pont bridge. The bar appears to be like out over place de l’Europe, so it’s the proper folks watching spot. All through the festive interval, you’ll discover Christmas markets round this space too.

Lausanne Cathedral 

Take pleasure in views of Lake Geneva

Whatever the route you decide in your Switzerland itinerary, it’s doubtless you’ll go Lake Geneva, or Lac Lémon as I affectionately heard it referred to in Lausanne. 

We didn’t have the very best climate throughout our time in Lausanne, however on a transparent day the views from Ouchy (Lausanne’s port space) are completely spectacular. Take a stroll alongside the sting of Lake Geneva and also you’ll see boats coming and going, with stunning views of the snow-topped Swiss Alps within the background. There are many eating places on this a part of town, many with stunning lake views.

I took these pictures from Montreux, a brief drive from Lausanne. Simply have a look at how clear the water is!

Lake Geneva from Montreux, Switzerland

Keep at an opulent resort in Lausanne 

We checked into five-star Royal Savoy Lodge and Spa in Lausanne, considered one of Most well-liked Lodge’s assortment in Switzerland. I’d liken it to staying at The Ritz in London!

Royal Savoy Lodge and Spa, Lausanne

It’s historic, grand and also you’ll really feel like a princess as you wander from marble-clad lobbies to plush lounge areas. There’s a fine-dining brasserie, winter chalet that includes an indulgent cheese-filled menu, a cocktail bar and cigar lounge. 

The brasserie is overseen by Michelin-starred Chef Marc Haeberlin,  and options locally-sourced seasonal elements.

One of many highlights for me was the spa. It could have been round zero levels exterior, however the steamy jacuzzi space made me really feel toasty!

Find out about perfume in Lausanne

On my first day in Lausanne I visited fragrance professional Philippe Okay’s perfume store for a particular Artwork Of Perfume expertise. The idea is exclusive; over a couple of hours I’d have a session with Philippe, who would analyse my character and my reference to fragrances, then match my outcomes with a fragrance inside the retailer.

Philippe Okay, Lausanne

It wasn’t a easy evaluation although. I’d liken it to a counselling session with a psychologist, who occurred to learn about fragrance! I realized about myself, relieved myself of some burdens I’d been carrying, and left with a perfume I’d by no means have chosen alone. It was a revelation!

Philippe Okay, Lausanne

The enjoyable continued with dinner on the Royal Savoy Lausanne’s Brasserie, the place the barman created a cocktail which complemented my chosen perfume!

SAAS-FEE ITINERARY

Keep at an opulent mountain resort in Saas-Price
