Yes, Antoine de Saint Exupery was one of my favorites back when I was driving helicopters for the U.S. Army. I think he touches the heart of all aviators at some level. Tom

About Me
Günter Heyes is my “Pen Name” and I wish to use this name for the entire 8-9 book series of “Tiny Eden”. I was born in Austria, Europe and I am now living in Montreal, Canada. I am in my 50’s of age and have been in my life pretty much the character as I describe the character with the same name in the book. I am an accomplished Pilot and Mechanical Engineer. I am is also a political activist.

I am deeply concerned about social justice, the environment and foremost about human rights. I am also an "Anti Organized Superstitionist" and pretty much everything the “good old god-fearing right wing” hates. My political insights come from my past involvement with my country’s Military Intelligence Service and naturally with my consequent exposure to the double-faced lies of big politics during my service. In the book, all my past experiences are well blended into the story. It often makes the reader wonder “If” this book is not fiction but truth after all?

My books have one common thread throughout! “Kill the dreams of a child today and you have created the Dictator or Terrorist for tomorrow…” For me, politics is always personal. Pretty much picking up on the saying – “What goes around, comes around” – the Book Tiny Eden underlines that an often so simple and almost unimportant gesture or action can have severe consequences for the future, be they negative or positive. What I think makes me such an accomplished writer is that I can take the “so boring” politics and turn them into gripping personal stories.

Tiny Eden - 3rd edition & Little Heroes

My book – “Tiny Eden”, the 3rd edition is now out since end of October. It is also now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. However I rather sell it direct on my Homepage

Those who have read my other posts in the various groups will know that I began writing originally as early as 14. – (This was a dare from my German Lit. Teacher & one shall never “dare” a Teen)

For reasons unknown, even back in my early childhood I always thought that something was wrong with the world and still is. As I grew older I naturally realized that many things “Are” because of past events that shaped things to what we have now. This then resulted in this desire to examine the issue of – “What if there would be a civilization that had not been exposed to all the S*** of historical events?” This main thread began to take shape more and more over the years.

If I say that the 3rd edition is now in print it means the 3rd of actually published, but the many ½-ways canceled (handwritten) editions would be in the 50-some try and discard ones.

“Tiny Eden” is a “series" of a total of 8 books. (2 are in editing stages; the other 5 are in various stages of writing) All 8 deal with the same event but as viewed and experienced from 8 different people.

It is hard to pinpoint the actual genre of the books other than “fiction”. “Tiny Eden” deals with all topics! Politics, society, economy, war & piece, trauma and sexual abuse, religion and so forth.

The website is a work in progress. We have even a forum on it in which members can add comments or discuss topics on all issues. However the main information is on the website, as well the link to buy direct from the publisher, - Authorhouse at $24.99

"Little Heroes" is the 2nd book that I published under my "Real Name". Since it is a documentary I have decided to use my legal name for all documentary publications and other "Real Life" issues and use the Pen Name Guenter Heyes for all fiction work.

"Little Heroes" is the true account of 6 street kids and their daily battle in midst of poverty in a small Barrio in the Dominican Republic. It is also the main fund-raiser, together with "Tiny Eden" to start the project as it is described on the website.

I do not travel and sleep in Hotels and resorts. I travel and sleep in the houses & huts of the people in the land I travel in. This way I get to walk in their shoes and experience the daily reality of their lives.

With the new year starting, I wish to renew my efforts to begin this grass-roots project that has been boycotted since years by nothing other than greed.

As we begin a year of global uncertainty, with recession or even depression looming over our heads, we have to come to realize that our economic principles are the key cause for the present crisis. The economical sustainable solutions that i offer in this project can and could be transplanted into any corner of the world. And if the people "above" do not realize this, then maybe the people from "below" can start this movement.

The book is available from I-Universe direct at $12.95.

Sure all my books are also available at Amazon and Barnes & Nobles. However I do not link to there for a simple reason. Of all the royalties that are meant to be funneled towards the PROJECT, the direct buy ensures me the true royalties, while with Amazon and B&N I loose up to 90% of these royalties.

Additionally I with these groups: Tiny Eden, I-Power, Atheism & Nudism

I also require VOTES for my PROJECT so please VOTE

Marketing

My take on marketing is quite different as many might agree with:

As a new author I get swamped with e-mails and notifications as how to make sure that tomorrow I will be as successful as "Steven King" or the other great authors. I consider this approach a complete false one. It seems a "North American" phenomena that one has to pay to be promoted. Nothing is more removed from the truth than this assumption!

1st of all one has to realize this: If the book is good, readable and liked, then it… Continue

Why I wrote Tiny Eden



“Tiny Eden”

As we all know, the most vital lessons in life, especially in school are the ones that are the most boring ones. However at times we do have the luck to have teachers that change their way of teaching in regards to the dry knowledge of the subject.

Take “History” for… Continue

Tiny Eden - 3rd Edition


The genre and topic of my book “Tiny Eden” can be looked at on my website and in the respective blogs and forum posts.
I repeatedly emphasize on the fact that it is the 3rd edition and a re-edited one. Re-edited in the sense that due to bad advice from my original editor, I had “cut-out”… Continue

I'm sending you an email. I'm not sure this is exactly what you want. If it's not, maybe you can walk me through it

My dear Guenter,

I've been to your beautiful country of Austria. Their music ranks up there with all time favorites. I love Canada too, but heve never been to Montreal.

I lean toward the left in politics, but can go to the middle if need be. I'm praying for my country every day. They seem to be hit from all sides between the folks who'd destroy us from the outside and those who'd destroy us from the inside.

If you buy my book, I'd be GLAD to send you an autographed copy, and Zuri has said she donate her paw print. LOL

Will probably catch you in the chat sometie today
At 5:42pm on December 2, 2008, Patricia A. Guthrie said…
I suppose that could be arranged. I'll have to ask Zuri. She's my signature collie. LOL
Maybe I can get one of my horses to sign In the Arms of the Enemy. that has horses in it.
I'm always flexible in promoting a sale for my books. lOL

Guenter,

Thanks for the encouragement! One of the cool things about being self-published is that you can set and break your own deadlines! LOL. Now I've just got to get a rhythym going with the promotion thing! I'd appreciate any help you can lend on that front.I also have a book of poetry available to read on publicbookshelf.com Please check it out (the site is free) & let me know what you think. The title of the book is..."Urban Verses....Poetry To Make You Say Hmmm! Give comments on the book on that site please & pass the word! Thanks
