Extra leg room!

December 20, 2021 by Christoffer Petersen Leave a Comment

Facing the rear of the aircraft

We didn’t drive home for Christmas, we flew. Practically from the North Pole! (Just 800 miles shy of it.) The flight to Qaanaaq had already been delayed due to weather – I can’t remember, but let’s just say “fog in Upernavik” because it was probably true. But then, snow, high winds, and everything in between is more likely. Suffice it to say, we were late departing, but we did depart, and once the ground crew had emptied the plane of a couple of passengers and a lot of Christmas cargo (including potatoes preserved in glass jars – very important!) there was plenty of leg room.

Facing the cockpit

In fact, we got up for a stroll halfway through the flight to have a look at the island of Uummannaq, where we used to live. The only thing missing was a tray to put our cups of coffee on during the flight. πŸ˜‰

While I have never flown First Class, not even Business Class, in my mind, there’s nothing classier that flying in a de Havilland Dash 7, in the Arctic, in winter.

And that, folks, is why my characters always fly in Dash 7s. Because I love ’em!

Yule at Aurora Station – 2nd Advent, Part 2

December 5, 2021 by Christoffer Petersen 2 Comments

It’s ready! The second installment of Yule at Aurora Station is live on Payhip!

Before I tease a little about the story, let me just add that I am selling the stories on Payhip first to try out a range of possibilities I don’t have when selling on other platforms.

For example, you can get 25% off your purchase if you share the sale on social media.

Also, and even more exciting from my point of view, I can add bonus (digital) material to the sale. So, with Yule at Aurora Station, for example, I am adding a JPEG download of the artwork (6000×3000) suitable for desktop wallpaper.

I can’t do this on other platforms. So while I realise that for some readers who often buy my books on other platforms (thank you!) it might be a bit irritating to buy from a new platform, I’m hoping that the discounts and the bonus material will make up for that.

I will be releasing the bundled Yule at Aurora Station in one volume, about 100+ pages, later in December for $2.99. But if you want to read along each advent, and grab the bonus material, then I hope you might be tempted with Payhip.

But. back to the story!

Luui, as you might have guessed, is in trouble.

No spoilers, but if you grabbed the free copy of Part 1 (now with additional bonus material which you can grab, even if you already downloaded it) you’ll know Luui is protecting the last known female polar bear in the Arctic, together with the help of her tiny friends Kalaagi and his sister, Naaluk, and the big, friendly helper spirit Γ‚mo.

Yes, it’s that kind of story!

But hey, it’s a Christmas story.

That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking with it!

Anyway, polar bears, a container cabin, resupply via parachute, and a nefarious big corporation hunting for the bear … or Luui … I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Well, and here’s the kicker, you’ll have to read it to find out. πŸ™‚ But like any Christmas story, it will be resolved by Christmas Eve!

I’ll leave you with the promise of the next installment “dropping” on the third Advent Sunday this Christmas: December 12. You can always check the Yule at Aurora Station page on this website for updates.

Merry Christmas! (Kind of early, but hey…)

Kickstarting Christmas 2021!

October 19, 2021 by Christoffer Petersen Leave a Comment

The Starlighter!

Taking a slight detour from crime and thriller books, I’ve got a children’s (middle-grade) climate change/community action/mystery Christmas book coming out this December.

If you’d like to pick up an early copy, please check out the Kickstarter page for The Starlighter.

The Starlighter was represented by a prominent agency in Finland, specializing in children’s books. However, due to COVID 19, the project stalled. I have the rights back, and hope to give The Starlighter a boost with this Kickstarter campaign.

Please check it out if you’re curious and share if you are able.

Thank you!

Chris
