Johan's Newest Release
The Gentle Orbit
Michael meets Anna on a beach in Ibiza, a quiet, instant connection, the kind of afternoon you spend years thinking about.
But before anything can form, she drifts into someone else's orbit, and Michael is left in the space between almost and everything.
The life Anna returns to looks like love from the outside and feels like a prison from within.
Michael can't rescue her. He can only be there. And sometimes that's everything.
Restrained, tender, and deeply personal, The Gentle Orbit is Johan Raubal's second novel, a literary story about timing, proximity, and the people who orbit our lives without ever quite landing. Pre order today for October 2026.

About the Book (Hannah)
Most romances begin with a kiss. Hannah begins with a glance. On a platform in the autumn, two lives shift quietly, irrevocably. From fleeting moments and stolen glances to the slow burn of recognition, Hannah is a story about longing, restraint, and the ache of being truly seen. A romance that is quiet, magnetic, and impossible to forget.

Some Favourite Quotes From Hannah
Meet the Author
Johan M Raubal
Writes fiction under this name and publishes non-fiction as Johan Raubal. Across both, his work explores emotional courage, meaningful connection, and the quiet strength it takes to stay the course.
Hannah, his latest work, draws readers into a world of chance encounters, magnetic silences, and the kind of intimacy that lingers long after the moment has passed.
