Alright, it has been some time since I made a descent post here. Lately, I have been very busy with work and life stuff (and problems :P ) ... Ad I do have some news & info to share with you all. Here we go:

First to my GR friends and readers of my work:

THANK YOU – I have noticed some of you started following my work (yes, it is always all about my work and not me) and I appreciate it very much. It is definitely a good vibe for the upcoming projects ;) Super thanks and I will do my best to bring about better and better titles for your entertainment!

The Night of Elisa goes Global – During the previous week, TNOW has made it to several shops/webshops around the globe and there is a big chance it is available in your country now – or coming very soon!

A Cold-Hearted Phoenix – Episode 1: Dark Love: This is the first announcement of a cool title coming on Valentine's next year, a miniseries in 5 episodes. It is under editing at the moment and I already started the illustrations – this time, ink. I don’t have a synopsis to give to you yet, all I can tell is that it is an innovative project in format and writing. It will be packed with illustrations (more than TNOE) and a fancy layout. On The Night of Elisa you have prose with influence of comics and cinema while on this new work it will be a hybrid mix of prose and screenwriting, more screenwriting though, including the formatting. Stay tuned. Oh and the genre? “Urban Gothic” – and it is nothing like you have read before!

>>>>>Now, for the authors:<<<<<<
I have a blog for the sole purpose of promoting indie authors and books: http://storiesofduskland.tumblr.com/

How can I help promoting your work? On the following ways:

- Book spotlight
- Interview
- Interview & spotlight
- Guest post

All with author links and buy links (author bio and pic too, if you want)

I can’t do any reviews at the moment (except for those I have contacted personally – or am reading their books right now). Send me a private message if you’re interested. We can cover 1-3 of your books.

Cheers and have a great Halloween month, if you don’t care about the dark vibes of this month, then just enjoy yourself as you wish ;)

Hello there! :) How were your holidays? Was it all hectic or did you have some time to relax and do other things you normally don’t do along the year?

Mine were absolutely hectic, and I did almost nothing of what I planned (i.e. reading and advanced house cleaning!). But I did connect with closest family and friends, which was good for the mind and soul.

Before I head any further on this little letter, I’d like to THANK YOU.

In May 2014 I started an adventure on the self-publishing playground and have been absolutely fortunate to come across wonderful people – such as you – who have given me support in many ways. You took of your precious time in provide feedback, supporting my work with reviews and blogposts and nonetheless, purchasing it!

So, what is worth… Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :D \m/

Now that we all said goodbye to 2014 , let’s follow through 2015 with tons of creativity, inspiration, prosperity, achievement and realization. If you’re a reader, I hope you enjoy yourself and enhance your wisdom with great books. If you’re an author, I hope you are the one providing those great books to our community – we thank you for that! :)

As for me, I am glad to announce I am publishing an illustrated miniseries in 3 episodes, called “A Cold-Hearted Phoenix” in a few months. Soon I will tell more about the project, so stay tuned for this one!

I have just published as well “No Escapes VOL. 1 – Melancholic Beauty in Norwegian Landscapes” , which is a reference art book for painters and photographers. It is not a table book, as some may think, but because of the way it is built, it can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone who likes landscapes, arts and photography in general. As the title suggests, the book is melancholic, moody and somewhat dark. The second volume is coming somewhere on the second semester.


See you soon, have a great time!

It is no secret I have been very little social for the past 6-8 months. Two life-changing events happened last year, leaving deep scars within my family and me. We had four injured and one loss. After being down to the ground, gaining a few extra kilos of depression and living in the darker side of life, time and self-realization have helped/are helping me heal.

As the old saying goes… What doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger.

I am back, and glad to be around GoodReads again!

Speaking of which…

I’m about to record a final video talking about “The Night of ElisaThe Night of Elisa” and thought about the possibility of answering YOUR questions in the video – if you have some.

Whether you have read the book or consider reading it, shoot your questions to my author’s Q&A session here on GoodReads, or leave a comment in this post. Feel also free to send me a private message. I won’t reveal any names in the video, so all those who participate will have their identities preserved.

If I have any questions by the time to record the video, I will do my best to answer you :) And I will post a link here to let everybody know when it is online at Tragic Books' Youtube Channel.

Cheers and have a great time, folks! :)
