Pricing adjustments

I am almost ready to publish Exile on Amazon,  which is a good thing since Amazon is a big market.   I am not going to hit publish today, though, for two reasons. A) I need to enter my Swedish tax number, since otherwise they are going to take a chunk of the money for US […]

The Blurred lines of book categories

Earlier today I remembered that Diana Pharaoh Francis Crosspointe books was re-issued last year, and decided to do a search for them at Kobo since I was checking up something else. They were. My plan to buy the Black Ship was derailed when I saw the categories it was in. Science Fiction and Fantasy, Fiction […]

Snippet Wednesday: Cauldron Bound teaser

This is pre-edits, but I hope you enjoy it. Moirin woke with a start, cold sweat running down her spine. She sat up and stared blindly at the dark cottage, still trapped in the vision. Her, a group of young warriors in a place that wasn’t the remote mountain valley she called home. A thread […]

Snippet from the Cauldron Bound

Since there was no Wednesday Snippet this week and since it is Friday I thought I would post the opening paragraph for The Cauldron Bound. I have posted it before,  but it is tweaked now. As he walked through the settlement in the early morning sunshine, Aodh was glad for his fur tunic. The day […]

Kindle versions ahoy

Ever since I published Exile I have wanted to publish Exile on Amazon  but I thought I needed to get either an EIN or an ITIN to do that.  Today I logged in to KDP and poked around. I was delighted to discover that one of the options were “foreign tax number”. This means I […]

Selfpublishing lesson: Free isn’t always a good choice

I have made no secret that I am waiting impatiently to find out my sales at Kobo and Overdrive. I am still waiting for the Overdrive sales, but I got my sales from Kobo  today. (At least for Sept-Oct.)  They were non existing, which made me upset.  I was pissed off and disappointed for a […]

Sometimes having lightbulb moments are hard

For me Lightbulb moments always leads to more work.  Most of the time, I like lightbulb moments though, since they makes the story better.  Not this week though. Why? Because I realised that the story I was writing for the Shattered Ward was the wrong story.   Yeah.  It is most likely my own fault, […]

Swedish history: A sidenote about surnames

During the middle ages (and before that, too) Swedish naming practices were very straightforward.  While there were some exceptions, most people had the combination of father’s name+son/daughter. This was the tradition no matter which class you belonged to.   Or at least that was the case for most persons.  There were exceptions for both men […]

Archipelacon!

I am not going to many cons, due to time and money, but since I just booked the hotel room, I can announce that I’ll  be at Archipelacon in Mariehamn, June 25th-28th.   I think it will be a fun con. I don’t expect to be at the programme, but I look forward to visit Mariehamn. […]

Snippet Wednesday: Fiona and her daughter

This is a cut piece from The Shattered Ward. It is unedited, since it didnt fit the scene. I might do something with it later. Maybe not. A tentiative knock on the door made her shook off the longing. ” Come in!” The door opened and her youngest daughter ran inside. Fiona sighed when she […]
