Happy 250th birthday to one of my all time favourite authors, Jane Austen!
If you haven’t read anything of her yet, but enjoyed the new Netflix Frankenstein, allow me to suggest “Nothanger Abbey” as a good starting point. Then move on to Pride and Prejudice. Go ahead, #booksky try the classics 😊

Yeah…. I think I’m officially gonna rename my study ”the Author’s lair”.
After all - it’s where I plot all my plans and breathe life into a world completely different from our own. Sometimes I feel as fierce as a dragon. Sometimes I’m more of a cavetroll. Both have lairs, so… fitting really.

Visste du att man inte måste köpa en bok för att läsa den? 😉
Man kan alltid be sitt bibliotek ta hem ett exemplar.
Det är som att slå tre flugor i en smäll:
🪰 Du får läsa boken.
🪰 Du hjälper små författare att synas och nå ut.
🪰 Någon annan kanske hittar sin nya favorit - tack vare dig.

Do you like #RPGs? #Highfantasy? #Steampunk?
How about a story set in a dark, complex world, with characters doing their best to find light as they question the very foundation of society.
Take a look at the Venn diagram and blurb to see if this is for you. 😉

Tonight’s doodle from my #fantasy #steampunk Hunting Light: Ionia Habrenne. 36 years old. Imperial general. Forced to become a reluctant ally of Caeles and Attilio when she finds herself on the same mission.

Eleventy-one thousand words in my manuscript for the sequel to Hunting Light.
Worth celebrating 🤘😊
Will likely find some more superfluous ”that”s to tighten it up further.
But right now, I’m a Hobbit.

Time for a change of seasons.
Hunting Light looks as good backed by autumn leaves as it did among the spring flowers.
Between the covers:
A rich world blending #fantasy with #steampunk and layers enough to make an ogre jealous.

Doodled on the plane back to Sweden.
Old version in the second picture.

What if your soul had two parts - one you were born with and one the empire took from you to use as an energy source? Except if you were bred to become a Venethori. In that case, you’d be forced to keep your soul as a pet to help you hunt other souls.
That’s what happened to Caeles.

Hunting Light - cover design by myself and the husband. Dark fantasy with a hint of steampunk, and an MC who is forced to keep half of his soul as a pet.
Oh, and goes excellently with pancakes.

My writer’s assistant has been working really hard lately. He deserves a treat. Duck pretzel is his favourite. 🥨

Today, like my Venethori, I’m on a hunt. For overused words in the manuscript of #2 of the Soul Purpose. My editor found one that passed me by - drily.
Hard to get rid of, though, when your main character is a sarcastic type of person 😂. But I don’t want to make my readers’ eyes bleed, so…

I might be a little *too* amused by #bg3 photo mode and my honour run tav based on my old WoW main. Well, as those of you who’ve played it can see, I’m getting towards the end. And since I’m an author I couldn’t help taking a pic on the throne of books 😂
