Earlier this week, I finished the revisions of Daughter of the Dark. It was the second heavy pass during the last 9 months. I am proud that I managed it, even if it was tempting to just give up, but I slogged on. Now it is done, or at least the heavy lifting is. I am […]
I have been eyeing Norstedts Sveriges historia for years, but it cost 30 dollar so I decided to wait. And wait. Now it is 6 years later and the first books are on Sale for 14 dollar. So I bought the volume covering 600-1350. I am glad I did. I am halfway through it, but […]
The revisions are done. The read through to catch any wonkiness and to catch some continuity errors are also done. I have not, however, given the ending the overhaul I suspect it sorely needs. But the book isn’t sent in to my editor yet, so I might let it sit until thursday before I poke […]
Finally. I am in the last 20 pages of this book. I can see the end. I am aiming to be done at March 1st. Also, how on earth is it already almost March?! This year is going too fast! Anyway. If I am going to reach the March 1st deadline, I need to get […]
I am the first to admit that I am new when it comes to self publishing. Since I only have two short stories and one novella out, my sales are low. Not to mention that the novella is in a niche sub genre ( bronze age fantasy). Anyway. The reason for this post is that […]
So. I e-mailed Thirzah earlier this week, with the intention of tossing money at her. She gently steered me away from that, but she did give me some pointers about creating a graphical brand. So I googled and found a font that is very similar to the one that was used by my designer. (It […]
My books are not, I think, eligible for the Nebula, but they are eligible for the Hugo awards ( at least according to the Hugo Award webpage). So I figured it might be a good idea to point that out. 🙂 Short Story: The Alchemist’s Apprentice, self published. Novella: The Cauldron Bound, self published. I […]
Yes, I know. Two blogposts in one day. Unheard of, but today is turning into “Do all the updates” day, since my brain needs a break from editing. ( I have rewritten 10 000 words in the last 7 days. Woot!) This is a map over Dhurig during the Clan Wars that I made earlier […]
I have been playing around with Inkarnate which is a browser based RPG mapmaker, but it works fine for Fantasy books as well. I really like it, since it is easy to use, and the end result is pretty. This is map over Rhoswyr, the country were Frosthold and Forest of Shadows takes place. It is more […]
. The editing marathon meant I got 30 pages done, along with another 9 pages yesterday. Monday? Uh. Not so good, since I had a low grade fever. The good thing is that since I had had various signs of cold flaring up and subsiding since Thursday morning, I decided to take the whole week […]
