Today is the release day of my new historical novel Syndafall! 🎉🎉🎉 It's a romantic story about life in 18th century rural Sweden, it's the first book in a series, and I just love it so much. This is my first time working with a big publisher, and it feels amazing to have come all this way. ❤️

Happy release day to me! My third novel is out in the world, and unfortunately for the English speakers, it's another one in Swedish - Förledd, a romantic contemporary fantasy filled with queer characters and Scandinavian folklore. Cover by my dear friend Camilla Boring. 🎉🎉🎉

It looks like the magazine I got an acceptance from in the fall has vanished without a trace. Such a letdown every time this happens!

I was just told that my launch event in Glasgow was going to be cancelled because I don't have *enough* tickets sold. Humiliating—not least because I worked my butt off for this book & went to other people's launches.
If I could sell a few more today, maybe I could change their minds. Please.

Here's some excellent news from me! I have a new story in this month's issue of The Dark! It's called "His Most Feared Constellation". In a desolate corner of junkspace, a man makes a cup of tea while he waits for his daughter to visit ✨❄️

Tired but happy after a great day at the book fair Bohusläns bokmässa yesterday! Sold a bunch of books, bought a bunch of books 🙈, and had lots of good chats with visitors and colleagues.

Today is the release day of Skogsland, my first ever published short story that has been translated from English to Swedish. It was originally published as Woodland, in Eerie River Publishing's anthology "The Old Ways Vol. 2". Skogsland is published by Kraxa förlag, and I'm really proud of it. 🖤

I've barely subbed any stories in forever, but today I sent seven hopeful submissions out into the world. Really struggling to find a home for those extremely-quiet-and-not-really-speculative horror pieces.

I've wanted to read Paradise Lost for two decades or more, and now I'm finally doing it and ... wow. The imagery, all the monsters and demons and hellish visions. The darkness, the brutality, the beautiful writing. I love the fact that this book exists.
