Dear Madeira friends,
for many years, I have been writing, researching and working around Madeira – with a bus guide, Madeira menus, audio experiences and texts designed to help people discover and experience the island in a deeper way.
At the moment, I am going through a difficult transitional period, and I would very much like to continue my Madeira work in a stable way.
For this reason, I have started a GoFundMe campaign:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/anita-auf-madeira
The aim is to carry forward what has already been created through this phase – with a clear view ahead.
If you would like to support my work or share this post, I would be very grateful.
Warm regards,
Anita

Where crime meets island magic: “The Madeira Files” – 24 short crime stories with a culinary twist.
More info:
https://madeira.cc/crime
Madeira is my chosen home – an island of contrasts: wild and gentle, sunny and mysterious.
“The Madeira Files” is my literary attempt to capture that spirit – with fictional cases in the style of Roald Dahl: sometimes macabre, sometimes absurd, always surprising.
Each story includes regional menus to turn reading into a full sensory experience.
Phase two will bring the stories to life – with local clues, QR codes, and small missions.
Tourists and locals can explore Madeira in a whole new way – and partners in tourism & gastronomy can benefit directly.
If you love good stories and big ideas – this is your invitation to be part of something truly different.
I’m currently looking for supporters, creative collaborators, and forward-thinking partners to bring this project to life.
If you'd like to get involved – or know someone who might – I’d love to hear from you.

New Projekt is looking for Supporters and Investors: 24 fictional crimes. 24 real locations. 24 moments of thrill and mystery.
