A post about cats

Dear reader, This is not about writing and books directly. It is about cats. A few years ago I introduced cats in the Hilda the Wicked Witch series, and since then cats have become more and more fascinating to me. The Hilda fans who follow my ramblings on Facebook by now know that Obsi and Grim are no longer just… (more…)

Hilda 10 – Magic on the Rocks.

Dear reader, Next week the new Hilda book, “Magic on the Rocks”, will see the light of day. My aim is to have it on Smashwords and the Amazon stores on the 12th.

The best order for Hilda’s books

I notice there seems to be some wonder about the best order to read about Hilda’s adventures. Let me see if I can figure this out.

Two years

Dear reader, It’s amazing but true. Two years ago I published my first little book, about a wicked witch called Grimhilda. Hilda for friends. When I pressed that “publish” button for the first time, little did I know… What followed was a small avalanche of books (at least that is how it seems to me). More Hilda books, and people… (more…)


I am going ask you for your age

Dear reader, You saw correctly. I am going to ask you for your age. No need to add more specifics, and it is fine if you say it is the age of someone else. So where does this sudden curiosity come from? Earlier I found a most endearing comment from someone on one of the pages of this website. Let… (more…)


Hilda – Aiaia news
