Christoffer Petersen blog

I’ll admit, I’m busy writing at the moment, so I’m doing some rapid photo posts to keep the blog going while I wrestle with plots and characters deviating from them! 🙂

The goal for this August is to simply get back into the groove! I need to paddle. More on this later.

Short post today, and we’ll finish off with the sculling draw. 😉

I don’t know where I was when I did some ‘research’ but I know it was back in 2010. I have an idea it was because I had sat next to a French man on a Dash 7 and been quit impressed by his tattoo – on the back of his neck – of the tip of an Inuit harpoon. Was I thinking of getting such a tattoo? Probably. Did I? Not that I remember. 😉

However, this is a nice segue into a not-so-subtle reminder that I am currently writing a serialised novel featuring Constable David Maratse and a hunter on Substack.

Chapter 7 of Piniartoq is out tomorrow CET at one minute past midnight. But if you’re in the USA, for example, you can read it today. Bonus. 🙂

Here’s that link again!

My Sherlock Holmes Kickstarter campaign ends today at 23:59 CET. That would be a minute before midnight in Denmark on Tuesday August 20. 😉 I’m still learning the ropes on Kickstarter, even though I’ve done a few campaigns now. But there’s always something new to learn, and plenty of mistakes to make along the way.

Sherlock Holmes and The Gallows Growler has reached 57% funding, and I really don’t know how far it will go. But, if you like the idea of new Sherlock Holmes stories with a Greenlandic (and Scandinavian) twist, then please check it out and see if there is anything that takes your fancy.

There is a double funding reward, meaning that even at the lowest level of backing, ALL backers will receive 2 short stories (PDF and eBook) if the campaign is successful.

Here’s the link again, folks, just in case you’re tempted.

Oh… I do hope you are tempted! 😉

Okay, so I’m trawling through the hard drive and a I found “that day in Qaanaaq” (2011) when my class and me spent the day making video for our horror video for our English lesson. Yep, ask a bunch of middle graders at the top of the world about ideas for a special project and that’s what you get.

It might explain my face. Or the expression, at least. 😉

But then, I was lucky to get out of there with my life! Hmm, as Maratse might say. Was that day the beginning of something?

Here we are in downtown Tanana, Alaska, off the water (Yukon River) and ready to fly to Fairbanks “on this day” in 2016. I LOVE this photo, and I’ll just add that I’m still head over heels in love with the woman I caught on camera!

The ‘truck’ is pretty damn cool, too! 😉

Yeah, just needed a “bit of love” today!
