Hello #AwesomeCharacters My book At the Road's End begins with Toini reuniting with her sister Päivi. Toini went missing in action sixteen years earlier and was presumed dead. Much of the first half of the book is about the sisters trying to reconnect and get to know each other again. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Religion and gods are a pretty big deal in my latest book, so I'm going to try real hard to take part in this one. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Somehow, it always feels like we're mostly just talking about cool things we want to do, and then it doesn't happen. It's great to get a reminder that the little things we do now and then add up. :D [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Hello #PretendPanel, All these things are cool, and they look great, but ultimately, I don't care. These days, I do almost all my reading on my phone or my kindle, and I want fewer books collecting dust on my shelves or weighing me down when I move. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Happy Soupturday! This is the last time I have soup here before I move back to Sweden. I even got a little message from the staff to wish me well for the future. The soup is mildly spiced pea soup.

#SFFChat Q1: I love setting up mysteries, adding hints and facts and details. Foreshadowing. Unfortunately, I'm no good at reveals. Something about them scares me, like all the effort of building up the mystery will be wasted because the reveal is too trivial, like the reader will be disappointed.

#SFFChat Q2: Yes! There's the legend of the Witch Queen of Homs, which is generally believed not to have existed, but which turns out to actually be true. Toini gets given the dagger that Shaman Göte created for Sigismund Sigismundsson to slay the witch with, and she's agog. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Got a free coffee at the cafe on the corner. The barista was trying out new beans and handed out sample cups to the guests (there are only two of us here right now). Sometimes you get lucky. ..and now I'm wondering if there will be cafes like this where I move to in Sweden.

Hello #AwesomeCharacters I don't really do antagonists. Sure, sometimes there are people with conflicting goals who get in the way of my MCs, but they're rarely more than that. My greatest antagonist is probably Alene's inner beast from Lost Dogs, but the beast is also a part of her, and the... [contains quote post or other embedded content]

We're actually having a little bit of rain here. Going to walk a lap around the block, just to feel it.

Happy Soupturday! Today's soup is "mexican." It's chunky and delicious, and it's probably the second to last time I'm having soup here before I move back to Sweden. Feeling slightly melancholic.
