Since I think my book posts are more popular than my writing posts, I thought I would begin a feature, highlighting the books I am waiting on right now. First up, is Magic and Manners by C.E Murphy. I have been waiting on it for what feels like forever. It is, in the author’s own […]
I am in the middle of revising Daughter of the Dark, so I thought I would share some random thoughts. My editorial letter is HOW LONG?! deep breathing Ok. I can do this. Doesn’t I mention that alreay? Checks. Yupp. I DO. I guess, I should clarify that. Flesh out the worldbuilding? Hm… Ok, she […]
I am a writer. I am lazy, and I am really out of shape. I have back issues, and leg issues, not to mention that I need to lose at least 5 kilos. I have been pondering renewing my gym card for a year. Yesterday, I stumbled upon a video of Hugh Howey doing the […]
I discussed the sales in my last post. So I thought I would discuss the mistakes I did in this one. The first mistake I did, was to not send The Cauldron Bound to an editor for story editing. Don’t get me wrong. The story is solid, but it could have been better. On […]
So. Since it is almost 2016, I thought I would discuss the sales of my short stories and novellas. (Spoiler: They are pretty low.) Exile: 28 copies, 14 from Amazon, 14 from Apple.

Travelling to Prague Seeing my Irish friends at Octocon! And meeting new people. Publishing The Cauldron Bound Finally reading Silver on the road by […]
So. This drabble popped up when I was helping mum today. The ad: For sale: Crystal table. One slab of rose quartz, created by the finest artisan mages on the order of Queen Titania. Almost as new, except for a slight scarring in the left corner. Sold due to too many painful memories. Price: […]
I discounted The Cauldron Bound to 0.99 during December since I wanted more people to read it. I promoted it on social media and had a few sales. There are just that many times you can tell people to buy your book before they want to stab you. So I decided to spend some money […]
Purely by accident, I discovered that someone has translated and selfpublished two books featuring medieval swedish ballads. Which made me a bit sad, since the only edition I can find in Swedish is partially out of print, not to mention they are hardcovers and big hefty books. I simply don’t have the space for […]
So, I have said I would do this post for a long time, and since it is christmas, I figured this was a good time to do it. 🙂 I am going to do a mix of small press, selfpublished and traditional press, because I get annoyed when people recommend the same books, and all […]
