Well I have reached the point where I am actively looking for a publisher and/or representation. If you happen to know one (or are one) feel free to contact me so we can discuss if our views line up.

Pic is a draft of the book cover I made myself just to see how it might look

A draft for a book cover, a picture of the island fortress "Suomenlinna" that is in Helsinki taken in the night time. The title of the book, "Darkness of Helsinki", is written on the top of the picture and on the lower part there is the name of the author "Kay J. Middle"

The power of commas & punctuation...

#booksky #comma #punctuation💙📚
The power of commas & punctuation: “Will you marry me?” Is a marriage proposal. “Will, You, Mary, Me” is a foursome proposal. “Will, you marry me” is a time traveller spoiling the future. “Will you, Mary me” is a cavewoman trying to make Will, who has amnesia, remember who he is.

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

After polishing the final draft of the ”Darkness of Helsinki” manuscript it is surprisingly difficult to get my head around to the fact that I am now writing a new material.
