Most planets regard planet Earth as a fascinating study object, because the humans of that planet make so many mistakes, with devastating consequences, that the other planets watch them to learn from these mistakes.
Having come close to destroying our own planet due to our own mistakes and our own damaging narratives, we never felt entirely happy about how eagerly the people of some planets use Earth’s mistakes to avoid making mistakes themselves. And we were among the first to suggest that the situation on Earth is getting so critical that we should, at least, share some of our insights, in the hope that Earth’s inhabitants might find inspiration and incentives to search for ways out of their predicaments.

book release & reading
The end of all wars, planet one, the roots of war, will be published on Saturday, 28 September 2024.
The first reading will take place in the Berlin café Korn Konzept, a lovely place where I occasionally worked on this and other stories.
The reading will take about 45 min, and I’m happy to answer questions afterwards, and I might even introduce a few other planets.
The book will first be released as e-book only. It will be possible to buy a copy on this website and at the reading.

‘The intriguing truth is that we actually enjoy acting together, be it building, creating, cooking, exercising, dancing — or preparing the most preposterous push for peace. War has the power to unite. But if we go to war, nothing is possible, all sides can only expect loss and suffering. If we come together, everything is possible.’

About the author
I am a human, born on planet Earth in the year 1972, in the then divided city of Berlin.
I have one of those lives where nothing was ever normal, but there are signs that things finally come into a balance.
Over decades I have grown into a fully fledged thinker, explorer, creator, visionary, author and photographer. Unfortunately, I did much of my fledging in seclusion. But after some challenges over the last eighteen month, I’m getting ready to share my findings, stories, inventions and ideas with the world.
The universe collections one of several projects, others include the easy town books and breastless.
A good place to get an overview of my projects, ideas and offers is my new website: www.charlie-alice-raya.org. It’s still in its early stages, but it already offers some additional insights. Over the next weeks and months I will continue to add content there.
Visions for this project
Let’s think big and start with small steady steps such as adding more stories about planets who ended all wars – writers and co-writers are welcome.
This is my kind of rebellion
ripples publishing is to be the home of the collection The end of all wars.
However, ripples publishing doesn’t exist. So far, it’s an idea, waiting to be picked up – by rebels, visionaries, shapers.
Why rebels, visionaries, shapers?
Readings available
As the first book of the collection The end of all wars, planet one, the roots of war, is about to be published, I am looking for locations in Berlin who would like to become part of the book release events.
