I love all my stories, but there are some I’m especially fond of. The Demonlord’s Escape, the first book in the Heaven and Hell duology, is one of them. Maybe it is because the plot was slippery, and that I had to make two tries before getting it right. Maybe it is because of all […]
On a whim I decided to list the things I’ve done so far this year: Revised A Shadow of Love Edited Daughter of the Dark ( twice) Written Cauldron Bound Written Exile Begun writing The Alchemist’s Apprentice. Outlined Warder Outlined Cauldron Bound Outlined Exile Normally, this is what I get done in a year, maybe […]
This is another teaser from a deleted scene that didn’t quite fit the story. It is non-spoilery so I felt it was a good teaser. And if you have missed my previous teasers, I’ve posted a link to them on my brand new extras page. The haggling stopped when I walked past. They glanced at […]
When I wrote the first draft of Queen of Sind, I wrote it on the fly. I had a lot of fun writing it, but I did very little worldbuilding. It was purely laziness. But this week I’m diving into the research hole that is the Ancient Near East, or more specifically Persia. Why Persia? […]
Right now my life can be summed up with one word: Waiting. I’m waiting for the editor at Carina Press who requested it last week to say yes or no on Daughter of the Dark. ( I’m still squeeing over that. No matter how it goes, I’m extremely proud over the fact that one of […]
This is a little something that I began writing a couple of weeks ago. I decided that since it had snowed in so many odd places, it might be fun to make it snow in Hell. This is only the beginning, since the rest of the scene turned into spoiler territory and started to feel […]
This is a traditional Swedish dish. You can also use the same batter to make ordinary pancakes. Note: it is easy to halve the recipe, which is what I normally do. Preheat the oven to 225 C. 2 eggs 3 dl flour 6 dl milk 3 tbsp butter OR 200-300 g finely diced bacon If […]
I love this song, but I have some bittersweet feelings for it. It was 2009, when Spotify had just launched. I found all his albums there, and suddenly an idea I had exploded. It was such an cool idea, about a man who accidentially unleased a demon, and the woman who found his cottage centuries […]
I know. This is a bit late, since it is already February 10th. In January I glommed on Lisa Shearin’s Raine Benares Novels. It was nice to be back in this world, and follow Raine’s adventures as she tried to rid herself of the Saghred. The plot were engaging, the characters interesting. Just like before, […]
I have muttered on Twitter and in the war room about a phone call that isn’t coming. Since I did get the phone call, I feel I can shout to the world that I have a job. A part-time one, doing stuff I’ve done before. Everyone says it is important for research, which it is […]
