I just can’t believe how beautiful the cover of my new novel turned out. Way better than I imagined! 😍 Such delight to work with @custombysophy . Seriously, check her things out. Most of it weird, and eiry and wonderful. ❤️ And the novel? It’s called Blynätter (”Nights of Lead”, yeah as in the metal) and marks the start of a series where I’ve drawn inspiration from my part of the world during a period when voices were being raised about how some were filthy rich and others dirt poor. I’ve twisted it a fair bit in creating Näsvik, a place of crooks and judges, riches and filth. And magical relics used to run machinery and people alike... In stores 26th of August. Only in Swedish, sadly.
Happy book birthday to me. 😉 Today I got my copies of my two new novels. They’re meant for anybody (aged 14 and up) who needs a book that is easy to read. The books are the first two in a series about a high school basketball team (mixed, because that makes everything more fun). The sport is just a back-drop, though, and the books are about relationships and love. And sex. Kind of steamy sex, if I’m honest. Of course they will only be available in Swedish. Trust us to use steamy sex to get young people to read. 😆 No ”clean teen” in sight. I find it genius, and am really proud of my books. I hope they get read until they fall apart. 💕💕💕
Listening to Ace of Shades right now. I admit that the prospect of a conman named Levi drew me in. I mean, favourite name, favourite occupation... 😆 But it turned out to be quite some book. Loving the characters! And I’m so truly happy that this, as well as the last four or five books I’ve read, treats queer as so wonderfully normal, in a way that wasn’t really mainstream even five, six years ago. So all of you that love your casts diverse (and like the idea of crooks as heroes) pick this one up. 😍🥰 @amandafoody has spun a terrific tale in an exciting world. ❤️
