Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
At the start of this year, I had a plan. A really good plan, if I get to say so myself. I made a calendar in Excel, mapped out when I'd be doing what, which of my manuscripts needed to be revised, edited, read through, and fixed. I had deadlines plotted in, and I even... Continue Reading →
I finally did it! Took me two months, but I finally read 'IT'. It's weird, because I feel like I've known this story all my life. Or been aware of it at least. Even though I only started reading Stephen King a few years ago, it's somehow ingrained itself as the ultimate horror story in... Continue Reading →
I finally got around to reading this, and I just have to get it out of the way and say: it's amazing! Whenever someone asks me for fantasy recommendations, I try to remember to recommend the Warcraft series. I suppose it helps that I've played the games, all the way back since the beginning of...

It's been a while since I've written anything on this blog, and while I have plans for some future posts and reviews, nothing is going as planned because of the Covid-19 outbreak. So I figured I'd write a bit about that first, and then about how my writing is going. If you've paid attention, you... Continue Reading →
All your favorite fairy tales from when you were little, rewritten for adults in a brilliant and grotesque display. I love this. I'm on a horror binge at the moment, but I'm busy wading my way through Stephen King's IT, so it was great to interrupt that with a short story like this. A palette... Continue Reading →
A beautiful fantasy book about a girl (Ariette) who suddenly learns she's special, when a group of people with magical powers come across her and deem her 'the savior'. The Chosen One. Ariette doesn't doubt such people exists, after all she's been attacked by Vampyrs before and she's seen the Supes. But what can she... Continue Reading →
When I write things, I'll write a first draft and then hide it away. It's something I think I've learned from Stephen King, from his book 'On Writing' (though I'm pretty sure I used to do this before I read that book). I do this for two simple reasons: Firstly, I like to work on... Continue Reading →
First of all: Great book. I haven't read many of these how-to-write books but this is one of my favorites. It's short and to the point, discussing the what, why, how of GMC: Goal, Motivation and Conflict. It's all you need to tell a good story, it's what going to make your characters come alive...

Connor Cooper has it all. A cushy job, a beautiful home. In a futuristic world where you can ask your house for a glass of whiskey, and it pours itself, all you really need is money. And Connor has a lot of it. But this world gets boring, fast. When his friend Matt encourages Connor... Continue Reading →
I got to say, I hate the holidays. I always think I'll have more time, to write, to read, to do stuff in general and it never fails to backfire. I should know this by now, but I keep forgetting every year. This time, I feel like it's taken me particularly long to get back... Continue Reading →
