Coming book release: First English edition of fantasy novel VAERNEN THE DAMNED

 

Years ago, I wrote a Heroic Fantasy novel. In Swedish.

It was published twice: First by a small indie publisher (Wela Förlag), then by a large publisher (Saga Egmont) that took over the rights from the small one.

The book hasn’t sold much, but the few reviews were fairly positive and I consider it an ambitious effort. So recently I decided to translate this novel to English and self-publish (with the large publisher’s permission, since it only had the rights to the Swedish version).

Now the translation is complete. I have made some minor edits to the text as well, to improve language and narrative flow. The title is VAERNEN THE DAMNED.

The release date is set to the end of August / beginning of September, 2025.

All my English-language books are available on Amazon.

What might have happened if aliens had visited our world, the real world, in the very recent past? What would NOT happen?

Longform Essay: "Make Clowns Funny Again"

 

Over at my Substack, I'm trying to write both reviews and essays. Sometimes the essays get very long... such as this one: "Make Clowns Funny Again".

It deals with clowns and comedy, and their underestimated, often misunderstood role in society. Enjoy...
