So far into 2023 I’ve had a slow & steady progress with my WIP: The third novel in The Last Navigator trilogy/series. I have a new methodology where I only write 500 words each day. Not one word more, or one word less. Just 500 every day.

Twitter is going better, and I’m gaining followers there. I’ve set up a link tree, making it easier for new people to follow my different sites and updates.

In 2022 I sold more books than in 2021, so it was a good year. My sci-fi series has experienced a good beginning into what will be a decade long project. At least.

If anyone would like to support my burgeoning career as an author, and if you also like sci-fi, now is a good time to buy my books. They can be read on any smartphone, tablet, or computer using free apps. See my linktr.ee below. The third book that finishes the first trilogy will be completed this year. I strongly recommend the English versions. Consider them director cuts.

Many people ask me about paperback editions, or audio books. Because of the energy & resource crisis I will not be offering paperbooks as of now. I also think the market for paper books is in sharp decline, and I say this with sadness, because after all I grew up in a bookstore. Digital media is far the most environmentally friendly way of telling the story. And about audio books, automatic conversion of text into speech is getting better fast, so I don’t think it’s necessary for me to spend time on developing this. It will take care of itself, and I can spend more time on writing.

Have a great new year, everyone!
