About

Hello,

I started this blog as a reader’s journal. The intent was to better my writing and language skills. But as time went by I found that I enjoy blogging immensely. I am still learning my way and I love pointers and corrections so feel free comment on it.

I am a Swede in my best years living my life in the Land of the Midnight Sun.

Maybe my blog can talk for my interests, but why chance it? I write mainly about Science Fiction, written or televised, but sometimes about other subjects that catch my fancy like fantasy, gadgets, science etc. I like wow moments, things that amazes me. I also like strong characters, characters that grows and develops as in good coming of age stories. Female protagonist is also just more interesting than male ones.

Some of my favorite authors are: David Weber, Elizabeth Bear, Elizabeth Moon, Jaine Fenn, John Scalzi, L. E. Modesitt Jr, Lois McMaster Bujold, Michael Cobley, Sarah A. Hoyt.

When my son was younger I kept telling him “books are like really good friends, they are always there when you need them”. Needles to say he is a reader too.

One of my own first memories is of hugging a TV in the backseat of the car as my family moved. My parents say I started to cry when they took the TV out and wouldn’t stop until I got to go with. Those were the times of black and white picture and one channel to choose between. Recently I discovered that people make fun of how bad TV was when I was a kid. Sadly it is true, but I always expected better. This might somewhat explain my patience with bad TV.

Pointers are appreciated. I like to improve both as a  blogger and as a writer. Who knows, some day I might write a story of my own. I have started a few times. But never finished.
