A writing update!

Right now I am working on the first book in an historical fantasy series ( and before you ask: It has a title that I love, and a cover, but I am going to sit on them for awhile). The book takes place in Sweden, around the time they stopped executing witches. It filled with […]

I need to protect the writing time

  I have a lot of flexibility in my day job, so I can basically set my own schedule (which is good and bad, since it means if I take time off, I don’t get paid). Most of the time, I work 6 hours per day with Friday off, but last week I worked 7 […]

*blows away the dust*

It has been a long time since I wrote something here, which has many reasons. Most of them life related, but things have calmed down now. (More or less.) While dealing with life I have been slowly working at The Dragon’s Blade, which is very messy but it is also at 26 000 words, so […]

And.. .done.

After a number of revision rounds, and line edits and copy edits, I finally finished the last rounds of edits on Daughter of the Dark.   I cut 500 words, mostly a lot of had’s and that’s and what’s. (And caught some inconsistencies) Now I am going to eat chocolate and read some books. 🙂

Busy February

I got home from Florida Feb 7 (it was so much fun). It feels as if the next time I looked up, it was Feb 20th. *whoosh*    I have been focused on day job ( new database to learn, new codes memorize) and edits. I got Vanished back from my editor ( the excellent […]

Plans are made to be changed 

When I booked my Helsinki tickets, I was planning on travelling after it was over. Those plans were cancelled when my sister decided to get married on August 19th in southern Sweden. Except I found out today that the wedding is moved. Let’s just say that the reason is the best birthday present ever. :D. […]

The Prolific Reader!

A couple of days ago,I discovered The Prolific Reader which is a repository of Instafreebie books intended to be listed longer than 3 months.  On a whim, I decided to list Exile there, since I am planning to offer it for free until Vanished releases later this year. The repository has a lot of interesting books, with […]

Back to the drawing board

So. Last year, I outlined The Dragon’s Blade, from Erwan’s POV. And it was a decent outline.  Except… I realised last week that I was using the wrong POV.  I had begun writing it from Erwan’s POV, and the 5000 words that I had wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t the right words. I took some […]

And done

It took me 3 weeks, but I am finally done with editing Vanished. Just in time to send it to my awesome editor.  So that I can do it all again in a month or so.. but for now, I am done, done, done.  I have a trillion things to do, but that can wait […]

Reflections over Instafreebie giveaways

Recently, I have run two Instafreebie giveaways. The first one was for Exile. I ran it for 14 days and I made signing up for my newsletter mandatory. The result: 46 copies claimed. Which I was happy with. It is fa short story, and I have no problem giving away that for free. Last week […]
