Feeling very welcome at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota, where I’ll be spending time as a Writer in Residence. I’ve even been given my own office at the college so I’m feeling very academic right now! Looking forward to meeting students and talking about crime fiction.

Finally we can tell! Satu Rämö and I are writing a book together! Yay! Wild Card will be published in Finnish and Icelandic in 2027 and we hope it will also find its way to other languages. It is an immense joy to work on a book with a dear friend. ❤️ @wsoyks.bsky.social

Looking for your next dark obsession?

The first TWO books in the Áróra series are on a UK Kindle Monthly Deal this February 🔥
Cold cases. Family secrets. A heroine who never backs down.

The Monday before Lent means bollur: cream-filled choux buns with jam & chocolate and kids waking their parents with decorated sticks, spanking them and shouting “Bolla! Bolla! Bolla!” (one puff per whack 😄).
Sweetest tradition of the year. ✨

Back to Aberdeen soon — and I couldn’t be happier. 🖤 Counting the days until Granite Noir with its great conversations, brilliant writers, and the joy of being among readers who love dark stories as much as I do. See you soon, Aberdeen!
