Some very swish advance paperback copies turned up today... Review copies on their way tomorrow.
Thanks for a fab couple of days, @icecon.bsky.social. A few surprises, a lot of fun and some new friends. Great to see @emilhpetersen.bsky.social @villimeymist.bsky.social @hildur.bsky.social @onefootiniceland.bsky.social @alexanderdan.bsky.social and many more...
I can make guesses – but four books in, and I'm still not certain of the identity of the mysterious Stella Blómkvist. Translating the work of an anonymous author comes with both challenges and advantages...

Sólveig has such a knack for writing creepy people!
Go for it, it's great stuff. (I may be slightly biased).
It's the Seamen's Day weekend up here in the north, and there was a visit from the Coast Guard air-sea rescue helicopter.
A cool first review for the Hotel Manager's Guide to Murder, with a month to go before publication!
‘This promises to be the start of an extraordinarily addictive series of Nordic/Scandinavian crime thrillers,’ says Ali Karim in Shots.

UK publishing generated £7.4 billion in revenue last year.
Compare that to:
Premier League football: £6.6 billion
Home entertainment: £5.6 billion
UK film industry: 2.8 billion
Now tell me again why authors don't deserve fair contracts and better pay.
