Authentic Arctic Crime books and Thrillers
Continuing the speculative and stand-alone story begun in Arctic State, Arctic Rebound, the fifth novella, is out today. I know, I’m biased, but I love the gorgeous blue cover, and I’m secretly really pleased with how the story turned out. Yes, shh, don’t tell anyone, but this one’s particularly fun, a little tragic, but very Maratse.

Yep, still not teaching. 😉 But I am trying to exorcise Top Gun from my head. Writing helps!
Ghost Flight is the second Ukaliina “Sled Dog” Nakinngi short story. It’s a bit different to the other Greenland stories.
It’s also possible, there might be more on the way. #toomuchfun
So, there’s a chance you might have noticed I’m not teaching anymore! 😉 Of Dogs and Men is live today.
This is #24 in the Constable David Maratse series of novellas.
Done! It’s live today! Crocodile Beat (Amazon link) is a slightly different Greenland Missing Persons novel. As I mention in the introduction, I wanted to explore a story in the series that wasn’t told through Petra’s POV. Crocodile Beat is that story.
Set between The Boreal Tattoo and The Last Day of Old Magic, Crocodile Beat is a mix of everything and everyone connected with the series.
It was a blast to write, and is the usual fast-paced story with plenty going on, without too many twists.
It’s plug and play, folks. I hope you have fun with it!
Oh, and there’s a good chance I might have left a certain motive hanging, just for fun. You’ve been warned. 😉
Here’s the Amazon link again.

Thomas wrote and said I should watch it (thanks, Thomas). My mum thinks I should blog about it (thanks, mum). But the truth is, apart from an absurd situation where mum and dad encouraged Jane and me to watch an early episode about pig farming – absurd because we’re living in Denmark and had never seen it, and it was in Danish with English text – I’ve never watched an episode of Borgen. I know, head-shakingly curious, right?
Well, curious or not, apparently I really should watch this latest season – season 4 – as it is set in Greenland!
While some Greenland politicians are concerned/angry about the way the Greenland self rule is portrayed as something gifted to them by Denmark, rather than something they fought hard for, looking beyond that, it seems that the viewers are excited about the series.
The basic premise for this season is finding oil in Greenland. Which is fun for me as I was in Greenland during the first serious exploratory drilling. Oil fever was high and it went hand in hand with renewed dreams of independence.
Sound familiar? 😉
So, I think it’s time to fire up Netflix, and, for once, I don’t have to spend forty minutes searching for something.
If, like me, you’re new to Borgen, then it might help to know it is a Danish political drama with four seasons, starting in 2010. More from The Guardian.

May is simply the worst month of the year in Greenland. Everything melts. And I mean everything!
So… put your coffee down, finish whatever it is you’re eating, and brace yourself for the next image – no photo, I wouldn’t do that to you!
Imagine the dogs have been doing their business all winter long. And everything they did froze instantly. With each layer of snow it disappeared – instantly. And everyone forgot about it.
Until the month of May when everything came back with a vengeance!
Added to which, even in an area with roughly ten days of rain each year, there was plenty of meltwater, and that water carried everything everywhere.
Yep, you’ve got it now, haven’t you?
So, spare a thought for this little chap. It’s really not his fault.
