Let’s talk currency exchange rates

When self publishing, there are a lot of things that you can affect ( editing, cover art, pricing), but there are also things you cannot affect. And sometimes, what you can affect is hit by factors out of your control. For much of 2014, the dollar was at 7.70 SEK ( there was dips, but […]

I seem to be having a writing marathon

So, on Thursday I was decked by a migraine ( it was the first time it was that bad) and unable to go to work or get any writing done, since the meds worked as long as I didn’t look at a screen. Oh joy.  On Friday, I wrote 2000 words.  Which was nice, even […]

Snippet from the WIP

Since I missed to post a snippet on Wednesday, you are getting a sneak peek at the currently untitled WIP.  This is rough and riddled with typos, but I hope you enjoy it!   I looked up when the doorbell chimed.  The greeting on the tip of my tongue died when I saw the man […]

Spring sale

To celebrate that it is March and that Exile finally is available at Amazon, I have discounted the price to 0.99 at Amazon and Apple.  Note that the price at Apple hasn’t dropped yet. It will drop tomorrow or later today. ( I am tired off having to nudge Kobo when I change prices , […]

The effect of a detailed synopsis

I have read about authors say that having a detailed synopsis makes them write faster, but I was a bit skeptical. Well. They were right. My synopsis for Portal Justicar 2 is 2000 words long. Which I worried was too detailed for a 30 000-35 000 words novella and maybe it is but I don’t […]

Synopsis is done

The synopsis for Portal Justicar2 is done. Yay! The final word count is at 2100 which makes it the longest synopsis I have ever written. With the exception of the synopsis for Daughter of the Dark. But that synopsis was pretty bad, and rambling. This synopsis is much better. So tomorrow I transfer the worldbuilding […]

Exile is available for Kindle

After a long wait, Exile is finally available for Kindle. Yay! At the moment, the price is 2.99, but it should drop to 1.99 soon. If you have been waiting for Exile to be available, go and buy it. Tell your friends.  Tell…well, not your cats. It is a good story that have become better […]

A little bit of this, a little bit of that

I have been busy this weekend.  I have bought a new laptop ( a shiny Macbook Air!), downloaded all the software I need. And, I have edited and reformatted Exile. Yup. Exile has been tweaked and some rough spots smoothed over, so it is as new. It hasn’t been professionally edited, but it is as […]

It is all from my subconscious

I am doing world building for A Shadow of Frost and Ice now. Today  I began to think about where I get the ideas.  It is to 99 % my subconscious.  The notes I made today were a mix of things I learned at university and things I have read in the news.  And then the […]

New Shiny!

Yesterday, I sent the edited manuscript to Laura Anne ( and paid her.)  I took the rest of the day off.  Today I began working on the new shiny tentiatively titled A Shadow of Frost and Ice.  AKA The plot bunny Ruth Francis Long gave me. It features Loki. Well. The original plot bunny did. […]
