Recent Reads: Frank Tuttle

So Maria at Bear Mountain Books have been raving about Frank Tuttle for a long time. With that in mind, I bought All Paths of Shadow when it was free a couple of months ago, but I didn’t get around to read it until I bought my Kindle. I wanted to read books, and I […]

Five reasons you should read Joyce Chng/ J Damask

I might not like the cover for Heart of Fire *cough* but ever since I read it,  I have been promoting her books to anyone that wants book recommendations. Since they are simply great.  But I figured I would tell you why you should buy her books. 1.  She can write *anything* from children’s books […]

The freedom to experiment

I write novellas.  Most of my drafts ranges between 20-30 000 words.  But the story I am working on now is something new for me.  I haven’t decided if it is the first part of a longer serial or if it is the first in a series of short stories.  Considering that I rarely write […]

Introducing Nike and Xenia

When I was in London in May visitng my brother, I had an idea for a short story. It was one of those idle musings ” I wonder how it would be to travel with a wizard?” And then the idea popped up, fulfledged.  That there was a wizard with the gift of Teleportation. And […]

On Betareaders and Editors

Warning: Rambles ahead. Earlier this year Michelle Sagara told me in the war room that she thought it was better to have good betareaders and hire a copy editor. I was a bit skeptical, since we are at different places in our careers. I have been thinking about it during the year, though. I have […]

I write… Romance?

While I love reading Romance, I have always viewed myself as a Fantasy writer.  But last week I realised that isn’t entirely true.  While I have stories that are purely fantasy ( The Wild Hunt for example) a lot of my books contains a romantic element.  Which isn’t surprising, considering how much Romance I read. […]

Why don’t you focus on one series?

My dad asked me yesterday why I didn’t focus on writing one series, from start to end.   I just looked at him, a bit baffled and told him ” That isn’t my plan.” But I thought about the question and decided to that more people might be interested in hearing me ramble at bit. Because […]

Experimenting with promotion

I read a blogpost by Carrie Ryan about what she had done to promote her new MG ( which sounds really interesting!). One of the things was create an ad.  Which made me go ” Huh.”  Yesterday I decided to create my own ad. I am quite happy with it the result.  There might be […]

I must be close to the end…

The last week have been… bad for my writing. An combination of health issues and social obligations have kept me away from the laptop. Then there is the fact that I am close to the end, and my brain have also been toying with what to work on next.  Bad, I know. I should finish […]

Rambles about Promotion

Since Robin D Owens asked when I would have a book out earlier this year, I sent her a copy of Exile a couple of months ago. She finally got around to read it. And she promoted Exile on her Facebook page.  Her followers saw it, some liked it on Facebook, some bought it, some […]
