When I was in London in May visitng my brother, I had an idea for a short story. It was one of those idle musings ” I wonder how it would be to travel with a wizard?” And then the idea popped up, fulfledged. That there was a wizard with the gift of Teleportation. And […]
Warning: Rambles ahead. Earlier this year Michelle Sagara told me in the war room that she thought it was better to have good betareaders and hire a copy editor. I was a bit skeptical, since we are at different places in our careers. I have been thinking about it during the year, though. I have […]
While I love reading Romance, I have always viewed myself as a Fantasy writer. But last week I realised that isn’t entirely true. While I have stories that are purely fantasy ( The Wild Hunt for example) a lot of my books contains a romantic element. Which isn’t surprising, considering how much Romance I read. […]
My dad asked me yesterday why I didn’t focus on writing one series, from start to end. I just looked at him, a bit baffled and told him ” That isn’t my plan.” But I thought about the question and decided to that more people might be interested in hearing me ramble at bit. Because […]
I read a blogpost by Carrie Ryan about what she had done to promote her new MG ( which sounds really interesting!). One of the things was create an ad. Which made me go ” Huh.” Yesterday I decided to create my own ad. I am quite happy with it the result. There might be […]
The last week have been… bad for my writing. An combination of health issues and social obligations have kept me away from the laptop. Then there is the fact that I am close to the end, and my brain have also been toying with what to work on next. Bad, I know. I should finish […]
Since Robin D Owens asked when I would have a book out earlier this year, I sent her a copy of Exile a couple of months ago. She finally got around to read it. And she promoted Exile on her Facebook page. Her followers saw it, some liked it on Facebook, some bought it, some […]
This is a very rough blurb for the Cauldron Bound. It *will* change. But it will do as a teaser for now. 🙂 I will post a more final blurb later on. For centuries the war between the clan have been on going. The war has fluctuated, but lately the Portal Clan has been doing […]
In the first draft, Moirin was an unnamed secondary character. Except I decided that it didn’t make sense having her just show up. So I am explaining why. Here is a longish snippet from the first scene. Moirin woke with a start, cold sweat running down her spine. She sat up and stared blindly at […]
To celebrate Halloween Fox Spirit books offered a free download ofHeart of Fire by J Damask yesterday. Which made me happy, since it had been on my wishlist for a while. Despite the godawful cover. I truly do not like the original cover. So much that I began to think of how to remake it. […]
