«WHEN IS VARDARI 3 COMING?» My darlings, I have no life these days and I suspect you’ll love me for it 😬 I’m in the stage of writing where I see no one, do nothing, post nada, and make frightful food choices, all for Juva and the final i volume in the Vardari series. I get lots of questions so...>

This Raven Rings tattoo is so insane I could cry! Mars from Austria has the last sentence of The Might along the leg. A reminder that they were meant to explore and create, and that they are exactly where they need to be. The sentence: (SPOILER) «The space between worlds enveloped them.»

Early birds caught a dose of fantasy on TV this morning! Great talk with Vår and Cathrine at «Good morning Norway» about @fantastiskforlag.bsky.social , what @tonealmhjell.bsky.social and I are writing now, and how the genre is taking over the world😬 See it on TV2 Play in Norway.

At first I thought she’d lost a bet, but it turns out Marlen Lund has read The Raven Rings trilogy five times, and discreetly marked the occasion … And I’ve seen many Raven Rings tattoos, I really did, but this is level «hold my beer» so now I’ll be … >

A very succinct summation of why AI isn't going to be the thing they say it is. There's no road to there from where we are.
In other words, when you ask for example “do vaccines cause autism?” you are looking for information about whether a thing in the world (a vaccination) produces an outcome (autism). But the LLM can only answer “what words could sound right after this?”

Big, somewhat leftfield news: I am kicking off a podcast with the wonderful @emmanewman.bsky.social under the title Starship Alexandria. It's a cosy book and film recommendation show where we take it in turns to rec things to one another and discuss them.

Tenåringsbarnets norsk er dårligere enn hennes engelsk, men bøkene hun vil lese er på engelsk. Hun motsetter seg oversatte bøker (jeg argumenterer ikke dette mer med en tenåring, ellers takk).

Hun elsker @siripettersen.bsky.social sine bøker, men må lese noe annet også.

Noen gode forslag?

🤯 Iron Wolf is in Kirkus Review’s «Best Books of the 21st Century (so far)» They told me last night and I checked the YA category. It was true. I checked again. Still there. I asked if this was actually real. They said yes. I checked the time difference. No April’s fool.

Can hardly believe I get to say this but the new Kirkus Magazine has a feature where I talk about the real reason fantasy is so popular and important. A gratifying chance to gush about the genre I love, in an interview by the wonderful Amy Goldschlager:
