First review of The Iron Wolf
«Juicy… erotic yearning… desire and electric tension… cusses that would make Tolkiens dwarves blush…» Haha, the first review of The Iron Wolf is out, and I love it!

The Iron Wolf is sold to Russia!
The Iron Wolf is going to Russia! Can't believe we're in 14 countries before it's even released... I am very happy to tell russian readers who have been asking about it. But you'll have to wait, because they still have the last book in The Raven Rings to release first. Thank you to my brilliant agents at Grand Agency, and my Russian publisher Eksmo

Everything you need to know about The Iron Wolf
Okay my darlings, you have a lot of questions about the new book right now, and I’m really happy you’re asking! So here is an attempt to answer you all at once, from pre-ordering to release dates.
PRE-ORDERING FROM NORWAY
The Norwegian edition is launching October 29th, and is now available for pre-order. Norwegians can order signed copies from here:
Original dark cover, from Norli Bookstore
Limited, white edition from Outland (What is this?)
PRE-ORDERING A NORWEGIAN COPY FROM ABROAD
If you live outside of Norway, but are crazy enough to really want a signed copy of the book in Norwegian, you can contact the booksellers by mail and ask them to help. (Yes, I imagine there will be some added charges for shipping)
If you want the dark cover original, send a mail to universitetsgata@norli.no, before October 23rd
If you want the white, limited edition, send a mail to signering@outland.no, before October 25th
WHEN IS IT RELEASED IN MY COUNTRY?
The book isn’t even published yet, so there’s no complete list, but I love you for asking! This is what we know so far about release dates:
Norway: October 29th
Denmark: Autumn 2021
Finland: Spring 2021
Italy: Autumn 2021
Poland: Spring 2021
Germany: Spring 2021
Sweden: April 2021
Czech: October 2021
USA: 2022
WHO IS PUBLISHING IN MY COUNTRY?
If you want to know who the publisher is in your country, there’s a complete list here.
IS THIS A SEQUEL TO THE RAVEN RINGS?
Yes and no. The Iron Wolf is the first book in a new trilogy called Vardari, and it can be read independently. However, it is set in the same universe as The Raven Rings, and there are some exciting connections that loyal readers will appreciate.
I hope this helps! If you have more questions, please let me know on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (Links in footer), and I’ll do my best from there. Have a fantastic weekend!

Limited Outland Edition of The Iron Wolf
[ENGLISH below] Vent! Ikke send hatmail, jeg kan forklare ... Ja, dette er en hvit utgave av Jernulven, begrenset til kun 400 eksemplarer, og kun tilgjengelig hos Outland. Ja, jeg vet at du kanskje har bestilt den originale allerede, men når Norges feteste butikk spør, da kan man ikke nei! Så vi mekket et eget cover, av rein kjærlighet til sjappa.
Her kan du sikre deg den hvite jernulven: outland.no/signering
Alle som bestiller, får den signert (også personlig) Jeg signerer 26.10 (strømmes online) og Outland har lovet å shippe ut bøkene med det samme, så dere har dem innen lanseringen den 29.10.
ENGLISH: This is a limited edition of The Iron Wolf, a white design especially created for Outland, a Norwegian chain of stores for books, games, comics and all things geeky. The book is in Norwegian only, limited to 400 copies, and only available from this store. If you don’t live in Norway, follow the link and send them a mail. They might be able to help.

Drivkraft (Drive)
(ENGLISH below) I dag hadde jeg en helt utenom det vanlige trivelig formiddag på Nrk P2. «Drivkraft» er et program i dybdeformat. Som han sa, programleder Vegard Larsen: Vi går dit samtalen tar oss, og den timen rommet både nordlys og mørke, den misforståtte fantasygenren, gale lesere, barndom, metal, og frykten for ikke å strekke til. Tusen takk for praten, Vegard
Programmet kan du høre her:

ENGLISH: This is information about my visit to a Norwefgian radio show, not available in English. Sorry :))

Booktrailer in the making
Today I got to be on set, watching a booktrailer for The Iron Wolf being made. Insanely cool! What a surreal feeling, to see so many talented people from Manus at work, making words come true. They are amazing! Thanks for letting me tag along, and thanks to my manager, Queen Kirsti at Gyldendal Norsk Forlag for making all sorts of magic happen

Pre-order The Iron Wolf! (Norwegian only)
[ENGLISH below] Dere, da er vi der! Nå kan du forhåndssbestille JERNULVEN, og gjør du det før 8.9, får du den personlig signert! I kid you not, Norli Bokhandel fikset et felt der du skriver hvem boka skal signeres til. IKKE BETAL MED VIPPS hurtigkasse, da får du ikke opp feltet. (Det er ellers litt lett å overse, kommer når du skal betale ) Og du har altså bare ei uke på deg. Bestiller du etter fristen, får du ordinær signatur, ikke med navn.
Her bestiller du: norli.no/jernulven
NB! Hvis du har adresse utenfor Norge, må du maile bestillingen din til universitetsgata@norli.no. Løp og kjøp! Takk til alle som blir ansvarlige for min framtidige håndleddskrampe.
ENGLISH: This is about pre-ordering the Norwegian edition of The Iron Wolf, launching October 29th. I repeat: NORWEGIAN edition. If you still want a signed copy and live outside Norway, please mail your order to universitetsgata@norli.no.
