Zdravka Evtimova shares on her Facebook page that the short story collection Maulwurfsblut (Blood of a Mole) was published in June 2024 by eta Publishing House in Berlin (founded by Bulgarian Petya Lund) after winning a competition for funding under the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
