Four days left!

February 5, 2023 by Christoffer Petersen Leave a Comment

I must admit, the different time zones throw me off a little, but I think there are just four(ish) days left of the Reviver Kickstarter Campaign! We’ve passed the first stretch goal and are heading for the second, which means more stories. Not into dinosaurs? This also the campaign to grab all Maratse’s novels for not a lot of money.

I’m having too much fun with the story and the campaign. But if you’re curious what I write when Petra and Co. are on vacation? Well, this is it, and more crazy stuff like it.

Too much fun!

The return of the sun!

February 4, 2023 by Christoffer Petersen Leave a Comment

It’s back! The return of the sun (Uummannaq, 2009). That’s a book title, right there! But this was an important day. The whole school prepared sun signs, posters and… yeah, you name it, to mark the return of the sun. These photos are a few years old now, and all in the open, so I’m going to post a few photos of simply the best kids and teenagers in the world, starting with the young ones – now in their early twenties!

If you’ve ever wondered why I write police stories, then this photo just says it all. They were always brilliant at getting involved in the community, and leading the procession of sun worshipers up the hill to greet the sun was just another example. Love this photo. I’m not saying my eyes are moist while writing this… but hey… move along now. Nothing to see here.

And we’ll finish off with a younger me and my sunny disposition!

I’m not a photographer!

I was never very successful at capturing the Northern Lights, but I had a go every now and again. This is one of those moments when I thought I had it.

Greenland Campaign Stories! Out today!

February 2, 2023 by Christoffer Petersen 1 Comment

This was a fun project and I’m really excited to be able to share it with you. A lot of people were involved in this project, in more ways than one. Greenland Campaign Stories 2021-22 is a collection of short stories featuring readers who backed one or more of my Kickstarter campaigns and, quite literally and literary, got in on the action.

With the permission of each backer, I wrote them into a story with a character or characters of their choice. Some helped Petra solve a missing persons case or crime. Others tried to engage Maratse in conversation – no mean feat. While a brave few took a chance to look after Luui, or join her in the future in Luui’s mythological Greenland.

This is a monster book of stories (including actual monsters of the criminal and mythological ilk), clocking in at 425 pages. You can find out more on this website, or jump straight into the link to Amazon.

I am so grateful and humbled by the support and enthusiasm of everyone involved.

Thank you!

These are your stories.

Sunny(ish) February!

February 1, 2023 by Christoffer Petersen Leave a Comment

Here’s a few grainy shots from February 1st in Uummannaq, back in 2009. The sun isn’t officially back yet, but you take what you can get at this point in the winter. I’ve used this photo on a few covers, I think.

Again, grainy shots, not least because the camera was complaining at how cold it was.

And a last shot of the same hunter streaking away towards Salliaruseq Island, over seven kilometres away. You can see the dog whip trailing behind the sledge and the all-important sledge bag slung between the uprights.

Stay tuned for more photos from February coming your way!
