Oh poor Livejournal, you're really getting the short end of the stick these days. Or the long end. That could potentially be much worse, depending on how the stick is applied ( Read more... )

This flash story was easy to write, a fast sell, and T.Gene Davis has published it so fast that I hardly managed to blink. I wish everything in the publishing business was this fast.

Anyway, you now have the chance to get your very own hellhound puppy!

Back in January I sold the short story 'Broodmother' to IGMS. Now it's out in all its glory in issue #44, and Tangent Online even gave it a 'Recommended' review!

But wait! There's more! Two days ago I also sold a story to Sci Phi Journal - a real 'what if'-story that focuses on entirely new feelings that we could experience if our brains were ever ( Read more... )

I've done what I can with 'The Third Transmutation', and though I'm currently working on three different short stories (at 400, 6000 and 12000 words respectively), I'm also getting ready to work on another novel, since that's what writers seem to do ( Read more... )

Starting late January I moved the office from my bedroom to an office hotel in Aarhus. This has done me good on several fronts, most of all because I get to see other people regularly. I like my house and workspace, but the wall paper just ain't good conversation ( Read more... )

LJ, you really want me back after all I've done to you? I've tweeted. I've joined Facebook. I've even seen posts on G+, but I swear they are few and far between. Can you find it in you to take back a repentent writer ( Read more... )

However, a new study (*) now shows that the problem hasn't been the lack of contact on the part of the aliens. Rather, the way earthlings have managed first contact has ( Read more... )

In the last couple of days I've found two reviews of the Far Orbit anthology (ed. Bascomb James) which contains my story 'The Vringla/Racket Incident'. Both reviewers liked the anthology a lot and praised it for the many different kinds of stories that Bascomb James had selected.

The first review is in The Future Fire  and 'Vringla/Racket' is ( Read more... )

I'm pleased that London got selected to host WorldCon, as it means I get to go to my first large con since EuroCon in Stockholm in 2012. The kids are big enough to handle four days without their dad, which would have been a bit too short a time for a trip to the US. So London, I'll see you on Thursday ( Read more... )

'Monsters Big and Small' was a flash story that originally appeared in Daily Science Fiction. Last year I was contacted by director Alex Grybauskas, who wanted to make it into a short film. Giving permission was one of the easiest things I've ever done.
Alex has been working on it over the past year, and I got to read the script and comment on it, ( Read more... )
