The writing is progressing. Right now I am doing type in, which will take me the rest of August, probably. Or at least until the 19th, since I am leaving for Sicily the 20th. I look forward to it, even if it will be hot. If I had been asked, I would have suggested Dublin or Edinburgh. And I just booked my lodgings for World Fantasy Con. Yay! I am staying at Amblecliff. It seems nice, have decent reviews and…
Oh, look. Another month have passed. I have been busy enjoying the sunshine ( and blessing the fact that Sweden rarely gets temp over 30 C), and spending time with my family. And writing. A lot of writing. So far this month I have written close to 90 pages, which is really good. And because of the writing, I have done research. Fascinating research about Sweden during the 1700’s. Other than the writing I am busy preparing to switch Book…
I know, I know. I haven’t posted in ages, but to be truthful I am not sure how many people is actually reading this blog. *g* The main reason for not posting in ages is because I spent most of June studying botany. Which was intense, but fun. It also meant I was online for most of the month. So everything was basically on hold. ( And yet I somehow managed to collect 5 ARCs… ). Which means July…
It was Mother’s Day in Sweden yesterday, and I decided to make raspberry pie. Which turned out yummy but too much berries vs dough. So I made it again with less berries:). Pie dough: 1 ½ dl flour 100 g butter 1 tablespoon sugar Filling: 250 g frozen berries ½ dl sugar 1 tablespoon potatoe starch Heat the oven to 225 C Measure up the flour and sugar in a bowl. Cut the butter into cubes. Mix the butter and…
I got a B-12 shot yesterday, which meant I had the energy to pick up the revision of The Brownie Liason. Discover to my dismay when I discovered that the edits I had made on chapter Four wasn’t saved. To say that I was pissed off is to put it mildly, so I decided to read something. I did wander back into the war room, lured by a tweet by Laura Anne Gilman. And, I decided to skim through the…

I bought a small tin of Kusmi Tea yesterday, and made a cup. It was really nice( except that I should have let it steep longer), so nice that my mouth protested when I had a cup of Twining’s Lady Grey last nice. sigh. My dad made the most yummy fried rice yesterday with mild turkish peppers, garlic and mint. I was a bit suspicious that the pepper was feferoni, since dad loves it ( I don’t. Too strong for…
I went and saw Bruce Springsteen last night in the new megadont Friends Arena. And he played the whole Darkness on the edge of Town record! Which was a nice treat 🙂 (The first night, he played Born to run, which makes me wonder which one he will play May 11th…) I am glad I had a chance to go, my only nitpickety is that the venue was too big which made everything feel a bit diluted. Anyway, if he…
I played around with Unicorn brushes this afternoon and created this cover for a prequel short story to The Raven Mocker. I like it :). The cover would have my name, and etc. The brushes were created by darkonelh at DeviantArt.
Yesterday, Kari Sperring started the hashtag #womentoread on Twitter. Today, she is asking bloggers to write about a woman writer they love. One? One? *mutters* I think I’ll pick 3, instead. Lazette Gifford: Lazette Gifford is small press and self published, but I really like her books. Her fantasy novels are well written, but her Science Fiction novels are exceptional. I love how they explore cultural differences, tech vs non tech, humans vs non humanoid species. I especially like…
