#LBF24

Some hugely exciting news to kick off LBF week: so proud to be publishing #JävlaKarlar - winner of the August Prize - in English next summer. It's storytelling at its finest, it sparkles with originality and charm, and I can't wait for you to read it.

Listening in to Barnet libraries great event featuring Arne Dahl in conversation with Dr Jacky Collins (Dr Noir)🕷 #NMPM #StillEuropean talking about YOU ARE NEXT, his latest book in English (in my translation), on this wet and windy Wednesday night.

Pleased that the good people at Aries Fiction HoZ_Books have finally brought Carin Gerhardsen's BLACK ICE to the UK in my translation. It's a gripping standalone title and I strongly recommend it.

New from SSNS, 'Scandinavia Refracted' (ed. Ian Giles) celebrates Bjarne Thorup Thomsen with a wide range of contributions from early Christianity in Scandinavia to the contemporary currents that bind Scotland and Scandinavia together.
