On site

In Gothenburg. Nervous like hell for tomorrow. I simply loath crowds and social attention. On the other hand: This could be my fifteen seconds of something related to fame. More to follow.

A black hole of my very own

Publicerat den september 25, 2014 av cgripenvik

Here I go again. Down. Dark. Shattered. I wish I knew why this comes over me. I shouldn’t be depressed, not now: We’re going to Gothenburg for the annual book fair (and for a reason so positive that I’m not … Fortsätt läsa →

The anglification continues unabated

Step by step the site is shedding the Swedish skin of its childhood. The info-page about the novel is all in English now, as is the ”Works”-page, all the labels are bilingual and every new post is in English. As soon … Fortsätt läsa →

Sent and delivered

Publicerat den augusti 22, 2014 av cgripenvik

Through the primary eye

Feeling good is a good thing

Publicerat den augusti 8, 2014 av cgripenvik

Four short-stories duly delivered to Epok Förlag for assessment. Bad, good, publishable? I don’t know, but it feels good. The stories are quite different. One is a psychological horror story inspired by Lovecraft; another tells the tale of young man who … Fortsätt läsa →

Praise! More praise!

How could I miss this? I google myself constantly! Retrograde Spring has published a review of my novel, a positive one, and I managed to miss it. Clumsy fool! Anyhow, here’s the link. Read and rejoice! And a humble ”Thank you, … Fortsätt läsa →
