Featured book!

I have had a bookstore widget, powered by Publit in my sidebar for the last 6 months or so, but it hasn’t really led to any sales, so I have been thinking about replacing it.  Today, I discovered a plugin with links to multiple bookstores, so I decided to give it a try.  I knew […]

Reconsidering Nano

It is Nov 2, and I am seriously questioning my decision to do Nano. Not because of the word count, I have written 4500 words the last 3 days ( Yay!), but because it raises my inner editor. Seriously, I have had to fight against the inner editor several times. It wants me to cut […]

Kobo Sale!

Kobo has a 50 % off coupon on books published with KWL(= Kobo Writing Life), which means you can get The Cauldron Bound for just 1.49, while I get paid for the full price!  There are also a lot of other books available.  Sadly, I have no idea if the coupon works in other parts […]

Nanowrimo!

The short story decided it wanted to be a novella, if not longer, so I am pondering NaNoWriMo to challenge myself. And hush, I know it would be cheating, but I really need a deadline, and I also need to know if I can finish a book in a month, while working.  I know I can […]

Sunday dreaming

It is 9 am here, and I am dreaming about sitting in sunshine somewere warm and write. This is an occurring dream, that appear when the weather is grey and/or I haven’t had time to write for awhile.  Right now it is mostly because of the latter,  though it is raining a bit. One day […]

Autumn musings

So I took a walk this afternoon and snapped some photos.They made me think about how blessed I am to grow up surrounded by nature and history. I walked past an wayfarer inn from the 1600s, I walked past an old farm, and if I had continued I would have walked past another one. This […]

If I was happy yesterday, I am sad today

This morning a masked man, armed with daggers walked into a school in Trollhättan,  a midsized Swedish town, and killed  1 and injured 4. I am in shock. In fact, whole of Sweden is in shock. Things like that doesn’t happen here.  In fact, it shouldn’t happen anywhere. So I am sad today. And I […]

I am simply happy

It is late October, the weather is either cold and sunny or rainy. But I am happy. I am caught up enough at work that I will reached the deadline with ease. I have finished my book, paid my editor, which means that everything is set to send the book to her in a month. […]

Swedish History: Birger Jarl

Born in either 1208 or 1210 ( the details are a bit hazy) Birger Jarl was the youngest son of Ingrid Ylva and Magnus Minnesköld. And if you look at his family history, it wasn’t surprising that he became jarl. Two of his uncles and one of his cousins were Jarls before him, and that […]

Done, done, done!

I began revising Daughter of the Dark during my vacation in July. And I finally reached the end. With one day to spare of my slightly extended deadline. It took much longer than I thought it would, but life got in between after my birthday in August ( not knowing if you have a job […]
