Let me ask you a question - do you work on multiple creative projects at the same time, or do you have a sole focus from start to finish? A friend of mine asked me this question recently, and we realized we're in completely different camps on the matter. I'm definitely in the former. Currently... Continue Reading →
Finding Motivation
Lately I've been lost. The last week or two, I've felt like I had no idea what I'm doing with myself. Not just with writing, but with everything I'm trying to do. Work has been unfulfilling, my training felt like it was at a standstill, and my creative endeavors felt pointless. Life's as a whole... Continue Reading →

I’m Taking A Break
Will I ever write again? My wife and I are currently staying away at a cabin by the sea, somewhere on the Western coast of Norway. It's a family cabin, a place we've spent a lot of time when we were younger, a place we used to call home, and we're so lucky we got... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Storm of War by Bryan R. Saye
As an archaeologist I'm always fascinated by books and authors who dare play with history. Whether it is in fantastical worlds that only draw inspirations from our own, like Tolkien; historical mysteries and conspiracies like those woven by Dan Brown; or those incredible tales set in a more accurate past like Conn Iggulden. No matter... Continue Reading →
Finishing a Book & Not Knowing What To Do With Yourself
Ever read a book and felt a wave of sadness wash over you as you realize it's over and you can never relive that adventure in quite the same way again? Apparently that happens when you write books too. I just finished a novel I started in November. It was supposed to be last years... Continue Reading →
Read Indie – Find Gems! Book Review: IronBlood by C. H. Knyght
One of the best things about being an indie author is becoming a part of an indie author community. Not only do you meet like-minded souls, make friends for life, and learn to develop your craft and art, but occasionally you come across gems that other members of that community produce. This is one of... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Animal Farm by George Orwell
A definite must read — especially in this day and age. A few years ago, the only thing I knew about George Orwell was that he'd written 1984, and that it was about the government surveilling its citizens or something. So when I came across a cheap paperback copy of it in Oslo airport a... Continue Reading →
Everything Is Going Great – And That Scares Me
It's when you're at your highest that you have the farthest to fall. I'm not good at recognizing wins or celebrating my victories—a fact I've been trying to make myself more aware of over the years, so I can rectify it. In fact, I've written about it here on my blog several times. Losses seem... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Dark Cure by Cameron K. Moore
Dark Cure is the jungle born love child of The Thing and Alien. Except the horrible creature that's hunting you is human. Set in a top secret research facility, I though Dark Cure was going to be a familiar story about people who wander off into a dangerous forest in search of some legendary font... Continue Reading →
