Archipelacon

I had a great time at Archipelacon, even if I kept looking around for Kari. I went to a nice mix of panels from a panel about the Hugos ( which was very interesting, actually), to a talk about Viking Age Åland, to one about diversity in YA, to LGBT, to cross fiction writing.  I […]

Using short fiction to build a brand

  I didn’t use to write short stories that often but the last year I have found them a nice way to slip some writing in between rounds of edits. It also gives me a chance of publish more stories.  I have pondered what the right approach is, if I should submit to markets and […]

New cover for Exile

    Look at the pretty cover that Cora Graphics designed for me! It fits the story perfectly, even if  it isn’t depicting how the Priestesshood of Gwynfar dress. But I don’t care. The cover is gorgeous, I love it, and it is entirely unique. 🙂  

The Orphan Girl, part 5

We ate in silence, both of us tired after a long day. Once my bowl were empty, I put down the spoon and looked at Hiwot. “Do you remember Grandma talking about The wasting?” Hiwot frowned. “Vaguely.

The Orphan Girl, part four

When I reached my apartment building, dusk had fallen. The stairs creaked when I stepped on them. Oil lamps hung on the wall, the flickering light a familiar comfort. The scent of food being cooked drifted from the apartments in the building. My stomach growled, reminding me that it had been a long time since […]

The Orphan Girl, part 3:

Quietly, I picked up the tray and walked out from the room.  When I stepped out in the hallway, another nurse gave me look filled with compassion. “You got another patient that it will require a miracle to heal.” “Yes.” “They are the worst patients, since you know that there are nothing you can do.” […]

So close!

I am writing The Orphan Girl, and I am close to the end. Right now the draft is at 2600 words, and I have one or two scenes left. So it is safe to say that it will be longer than 3000 words, since each scene has been 600-800 words so far. I am glad […]
