One more beat

June 7, 2022 by Christoffer Petersen Leave a Comment

Crocodile Beat is running slightly behind schedule. I need another week to get it squared away, so it will release one month from now, on July 7, seven days later than previously scheduled.

Teaser: Piitalaat!

April 2, 2022 by Christoffer Petersen 1 Comment

Yep, this is happening! Finally, Petra’s backstory in one – if I may say so myself – gorgeous homage to everything I love about Greenland, about Piitalaat, and the stories I’ve been telling these past few years.

I’ve always known where Petra came from, but I’ve never explored it in a story, beyond the fact she lost her parents when she was tiny. It’s time to reveal what actually happened, and then what happened to Petra, and how it defined her.

So Piitalaat will be a true origin story, for adult readers, but with a cute cover that is 100% Petra! I’m doing a Kickstarter for Piitalaat together with Crocodile Beat. Here’s the link.

So, while I catch my breath, please check out the Kickstarter and share it with… Oh, I don’t know, how about the world? 😉

Plain Clothes Problems – revamped!

February 1, 2022 by Christoffer Petersen Leave a Comment

I’ve been playing around with covers, delivery systems, stores, and a whole host of things.

But, without getting too deep into the weeds, here’s your chance to grab a new copy of Petra and Atii’s antics in Nuuk. Plain Clothes Problems is a fun short story available to download free via the different links on the story page.

If you think it sounds familiar, you’re right. Plain Clothes Problems was originally posted directly onto this website. The new version has been compiled as an eBook.

I hope you enjoy this silly story.

Upcoming releases – February 2022

January 11, 2022 by Christoffer Petersen 2 Comments

I’m still putting things together for January, and hope to put out a couple of short stories on the fly. However, two books are scheduled for release in February, including:

The American Artisan (novella)

When ghosts from an old case haunt an American artist as he walks the streets of Nuuk, Constable David Maratse is recalled to Greenland’s capital to investigate.

The American Artisan is the twenty-third in a series of novellas to feature Constable David Maratse in Greenland.

This is a fun one as one of the main characters is named after a backer of a recent Kickstarter campaign. The tone, however, isn’t fun, as that character is in peril, of course.

The Crocodile Beat* (novel)

In Australia’s vast and desolate Northern Territory, Constable Petra ‘Piitalaat’ Jensen’s most southerly missing persons case might just be her last.

Forced to take some well-earned leave, Petra searches for solace in the Australian Outback, only to find herself caught up in the search for a missing police sergeant.

The Crocodile Beat is the thirteenth in the Greenland Missing Persons series of novellas and novels normally set in the harsh, unpredictable Arctic, rich in tradition, myth and culture.

Both books will be posted to Amazon on the day of release, but may take up to a day to be visible.

However, The Crocodile Beat will be available in more stores as I try something new. It won’t be available in Kindle Unlimited, but it will be available for streaming in Kobo Plus. I’m trying new things in 2022 in the hope to gain more exposure.

We’ll see what happens.

Chris

*Edit (February 5, 2022): The Crocodile Beat will be a stand-alone novel. Sigh. 🙂
