I don’t often write about music, and how some songs affect me when it comes to various aspect of writing. But I have been thinking about it, and decided that I wanted to blog about it. I love this song. Not just because Salem al Fakir is a great artist,but most of all I love […]
The rewrite of A Shadow of Love is moving along smoothly. At the moment, I’ve rewritten the first third of the draft, and it is much better. What is making me continue rewriting at a rather brisk pace ( 5-9 pages per day) is that I’m reminded of how much I love this story. Like […]
I finished the prequel story last week, and since I don’t have the time to start writing something new, I spent Friday and Saturday writing notes about gnomes, shifters and Vampire on my tablet. It was an experiment, to see if I could actually do something writing related on a tablet without getting a headache. […]
I know. In my previous writing update post I said it would be a novella. Well. I was wrong. I had written 3000 words when I realised I had forgotten one important difference between the outline for Cauldron Bound ( the novella) and Exile ( the Short story), namely that the middle of Cauldron Bound […]
I finished Cauldron Bound on Friday, and then had a CSI Miami marathon the whole weekend. This morning, I sat down to outline the prequel story I want to write before I get Daughter of the Dark back from the Editor, sometime in February. ( I’m sending it to her Feb 4, and I suspect […]

A part of me is a bit panicked over the fact that 2013 is almost over, but I’m actually glad it is. Even if 2013 was an interesting year, I’m really excited for 2014 :). It was the year when I travelled on my own for the first time. I’ve flown before, but never alone. […]
Right now, I’m working on Cauldron Born ( or Bound). And yesterday, I reached the part of the draft that is an eternal slog. The inner critic whispers ” This is crap. Shouldn’t you focus on the unfinished YA Fantasy instead?”, while I would like to finish it, I know that I need to finish […]
I’m the first to admit that I am not a graphic designer, but the last couple of years I’ve realised that I’ve a good eye for it. Both when it comes to seeing which elements that fits, and what to not to do. 1. Keep it simple If you decide to design your own cover, […]
Merry Christmas! As Christmas Gift, I decided to post the first chapter from Daughter of the Dark. It is been edited by me, but not by an editor. So it will probably be different when the book is released in Spring 2014. Chapter One: Standing in the shadows, I watched the house on the other […]
