ORLANDO - Gerhard Munster, founding publisher of the Observer weekly newspaper, is now a published novelist with the release of Naomi of Nob Hill by Bloomington, Indiana-based iUniverse.
The 65-year old Orlando-area resident was born in Vienna, Austria and covered Africa for the Sunday Times for 11 years before moving to Florida.
Munster launched the Winter Park Observer in 1988, expanded it to include Maitland in 1990 and sold the paper in 2007.
Naomi of Nob Hill follows a hard-working and resourceful housekeeper who takes a live-in job with a wealthy family in San Francisco’s Nob Hill district.
Her friendship with a cab driver takes a fortunate if harrowing turn when Naomi discovers that her invalid employer is actually a prisoner in his own mansion, and his scheming employees will do anything to keep it that way.
Munster decided to write a novel while on a trip with his wife Karen.
“It took about a year to finish,” Munster said, “and it was a transformative experience.”
Munster said he plans to start work on a second novel in the fall. Naomi of Nob Hill is available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble. Com, Books a Million and other book sellers.

East Orlando Sun enters Partnership with Observer Newspapers in Winter Park, Maitland and Seminole County
ORLANDO, Fla. - The East Orlando Sun, a monthly newspaper that has covered local news, events, schools and neighborhoods in the East Orlando region since 1995, has entered a publication and distribution partnership with the Observer Newspapers, which publishes in Winter Park, Maitland and Seminole County.
Beat Kähli, publisher of the East Orlando Sun, said the newspaper has a loyal subscriber base and enjoys free distribution at more than 200 business locations in East Orlando.
Two years ago, the East Orlando Sun launched a pioneering online effort at http://www.eosun.com/ that substantially increased its readership.
Kyle Taylor, publisher of the Observer Newspapers, will oversee publication of the East Orlando Sun, Kähli said.
“East Orlando Sun will continue to focus on East Orlando local news and events, schools and neighborhoods,” Kähli said. “We have a strong and dedicated staff of award-winning reporters and editors and our readers look forward to their contributions.
Kähli said he plans to continue to contribute “Coffee with Beat,” a popular monthly commentary on topics that range from growth issues to gardening to good citizenship.
“We will gain a smoother production schedule, stronger advertising services, wider distribution and better news coverage,” Kähli said. “We look forward to this partnership and we are delighted to be a part of it,” he said.
