Me and Stina Engelbrecht's book Alvin Eldpojken has become a theater play at Övik. Check it out! I hope I can find the time to make the trip since I would love to see it myself.

Sweden's most blogged about book
line

This was funny, and a bit awe inspiring. Our graphic novel is currently the most talked about book in Sweden, or rather I should say, most blogged about. The list is collected by blog portal "knuff.se".

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that this is the third week in a row that we're #1 at Åhléns. I took a picture that you can view here.

Just posted a small "How To" on YouTube. If you have artistic ambitions you might get a kick out of it. Music by Jens and Stina Engelbrecht.

Havsdemonerna
line

The first batch was recalled after the printers totally messed up the book. We're all about quality and the book wasn't good enough to ship. So back it went and hopefully the new batch is out tomorrow. If it isn't you can still preorder it at either AdLibris or your local bookstore.

Book Signing Update

Apparently the book signing is also a meet and greet where you get to ask questions and hear us talk. Jens and I have prepared a small song and dance routine as well.

The Portent Strikes Back

With Gangwar 145 making the news all around, The Portent is actually back on the shelves, and Bokus has it featured as a "news" item in the online store. Hit the link below for a really good price (they also have the English version).

Best Seller at Bokus

Yikes! We just hit the #1 spot at Bokus as well. Granted this was just for yesterday's sales, but it'll be interesting to see the weekly chart next week.

Best Seller at AdLibris
line

Just got back from the publicity junkets on the West coast, had the release party and today found out that Gängkrig made it straight to #1 at AdLibris (the largest online store in Sweden). Could I be happier? No, not really. Time to bring out the Champagne!

On Radio Next Week

Next week finally sees things calm down a bit. I'm doing a radio interview on Monday but so far that's it. Good, since I have a ton of stuff to catch up with.

Gangwar 145 Roundup
line

Next week sees the last leg of the Gangwar 145 publicity junkets. It will take me to the Gothenburg archipelago for four days of sales talk and then back again to Stockholm for the release party. Jens and I have done more interviews than I can count, heck, I can't even name all the magazines we've appeared in. Best part was probably when I got to do the cover for Metro's Weekend Special.

We've appeared on national TV twice to talk about comic books which was awesome and hopefully more people will check out graphic novels now, and not just ours after this. It's been a lot of work, and if I never do another interview again, it'll probably be too soon. My wife agrees since she's had to flee the house more than a couple of times to make room for TV crews and reporters.

I pondered keeping the Gängkrig Blog around for a while but decided against it. The book is done and I really can't think of anything more to say abut it. One less distraction I guess.

A few people have asked me about the Gothenburg Book Fair in September. Unfortunately neither me nor Jens is able to make it there.

To sum it up: It's been a lot of fun. I'm really proud of what we've achieved and I hope the book finds its audience.
