 The Bleeding Hills
A Novel by Wilfried F. Voss
I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
- 2 Timothy iv. 7
The Irish War is officially a part of history, but not for Finnean Whelan, an IRA veteran of almost 40 years. British Intelligence has produced evidence that he is the mastermind behind a conspiracy to assassinate the First Minister of Northern Ireland. For Whelan this is not only a mission of revenge, but marks the beginning of a journey into the past and the return to the one true love: Ireland.
Using the yarns of the past and the present, violence and love, deceit and honesty, The Bleeding Hills is a tale woven like an Irish sweater. It is a well crafted page-turner that keeps the reader in suspense with unexpected twists throughout. This story is about more than just a the Irish Troubles and espionage; it is personalized through Finn exploring his triumphs and retrospective regrets. What is truly impressive is the author’s skill at exploring the larger issue of civil conflicts–how individuals become involved and how governments perpetuate–without being obvious or sacrificing any of the story at hand.

The Bleeding Hills is available at Amazon.Com, Amazon.co.uk, Barnes & Nobel, and any other good bookstore. |

 AMERICAN MALE PROSTITUTE
How I (Almost) Got A Book Deal Through Sex, Lies, And Deceit
Stuart Martin Berry has only three months left to find a publisher for his first novel. In a desperate attempt to reach his goal he leaves his home to live in New York. His wife has given him free rein to do whatever it takes to get a book deal. Her only request was not to give her any details on how he got there. If he fails he will be forced to give up his dream of being a famous writer and take a regular forty hour a week job. For Stuart this is sufficient motivation to start a three month adventure full of sex, lies, and deceit, without losing focus of the ultimate goal. When he finally reaches the finish line, he has evolved and become a top expert in the publishing world.
The question remains, what does it take these days to get a book deal with a traditional publisher? What do you do when, hypothetically, you are running out of time and mere talent is not the be-all and end-all?
Stuart Martin Berry has found the answer: If you can’t impress them with your talent, baffle them with your bull-shit. [Read more, including an excerpt]

Cemetery Polka and other dark stories from New England
Short Stories by Wilfried F. Voss
The stories in Wilfred F. Voss’ “Cemetery Polka and other dark stories from New England” evolve around the small town of Grand Fenwick in Massachusetts. Don’t waste your time trying to find Grand Fenwick on the map. The town of Grand Fenwick, Massachusetts, its residents, and events are a product of the author’s vivid imagination. Grand Fenwick represents every small town or village in New England that managed to escape the gravity of the larger, liberal, and vibrant cities. Unavoidably, due to lack of inspirational stimulation, the people of Grand Fenwick have developed their unique social responses.
The list of short stories, besides the main title, include Don’t Bury My Heart In Grand Fenwick, Gay Pride Festival, The Meaning Of Life, Bad Liver And A Broken Heart, Life In A Soviet-Communist-Amish Society, Bonfire Of The Vanities In The House Of God, Disturbing Email From A Friend, Warm Beer And Cold Women, and more.
Cemetery Polka and other dark stories from New England is available at the Amazon Kindle Store.

It’s All About Me, Me, Me!
I don’t think anyone should write their autobiography until after they’re dead.
- Samuel Goldwyn
My name is Wilfried Voss and my sixth sense tells me I am still alive. I took the liberty of distorting the name of a major food group and make it my personal web site. Well, the actual major food group used to be ice cream, which, first of all, was impossible to distort in a way that captures one’s mind and leaves it there forever. Secondly, according to my doctor and especially my wife, frozen yogurt is much healthier for me than ice cream (I take their word for it…). Out of rebellion I created the term FrogenYozurt and later found that it makes for a heck of a web site name.
I was born and raised in Germany, but for the past twenty-plus years my home and my heart have been in beautiful New England. I share my birthday with celebrities like THE KING (Elvis Presley), Stephen Hawking, and David Bowie, which is January 8 (not the same year, though).
My background is in Electrical Engineering and my special skills allowed me to travel all over the world, until I found my home here in the United States. I married to an Irish-American green-eyed red-head, which made me an “Irish-by-Marriage,” and on May 27th, 2007 I was blessed with the birth of my son, Patrick. The same year I was also officially received into the Episcopal Church – We’re not Catholic, but that is another story and shall be told another time. The next adventure will be spending $695 and finally become an American citizen, provided Bank of America finally approves the refinancing of my mortgage.
A Czech proverb says “Learn a new language and you gain another soul” and I can say, despite being familiar with the English language for many years, living in the United States has gained me another soul. I started writing and publishing technical literature, while still maintaining my job as the president of a business that sells industrial electronics components. The first book helped me to overcome the writer’s fear of being published, and I will continue this line of work, because it is rewarding, not due to the monetary compensation, but, egoistically and arrogantly, for my mind.
Since 2009 I am exploring another genre of writing, namely fiction writing. I have numerous ideas in my head that would provide enough material for at least another four or five books, but as Peter De Vries said: ”I love being a writer. What I can’t stand is the paper work.” Writing a novel takes time and being my worst critic, it always takes some time before I am satisfied with my own writing.
