Current projects:
- I am currently working on a historical adventure with supernatural/dark fantasy elements, set in 1692. It’s about pirates. And some other things.
Writing in 2022, it has had 7 drafts, standing at around 102’000 words. Read more - Another ongoing novel set during the Thirty Year War deals with themes of loyalty, identity, and free will, against a backdrop of supernatural intrigue at the heart of Sweden’s imperial project.
It is complete but facing major revisions (currently on it’s 3rd draft).
