we did Jorn Leir Horst in Feb of this year
hey guysWe (the mods) were discussing about how we wanted to approach AotM for next year. In the past, we have laid out our plan based on books we knew were being released, as well as trying to find a mix of lesser-known authors and more popular ones.
For 2015, we'd like to hear who you would like to feature?
Our only requirements:
- they must have at least 2 books published in English/available in the US (since the majority of our memebrs are here)
- have not been a featured author in the last year (so anyone we used from De 2013 and prior is fair game)
The mods will look at the list and pick one of those nominees each month
Nominations
Leif G.W. Persson
Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
ok, weepy moment - it had some quotes from James Thompson in it - who was a group member near and dear to our hearts before he died a few months ago :(
so I mentioned this in another thread recently - finding many books through their arm that have been translated and someone just posted this in an Amazon forumhttp://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by...
"AmazonCrossing, the translation imprint of Amazon Publishing, announced a commitment to publish Finnish crime fiction in English through 2015. The news coincides with Finland's participation as guest of honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair, which opened today.
The program launches this week with Katri Lipson's literary thriller The Ice Cream Man. Finnish works to be published over the next year include Leena Lehtolainen's The Bodyguard; Jari Järvelä's The Girl and the Bomb; Katja Kettu's Runeberg The Midwife; Marko Hautala's Hatchet Grandma; and Risto Isomäki's Lithium 6."
They already publish Leena Lehtolainen's stuff exclusively and i'm guessing the others may fall into that realm, but its still exciting

seems like Amazon Crossings is starting to pick up a bunch of the authors as well - which is their translation publishing branch
i struggled with the whole financial crime aspect - it isn't as interesting to me as the blood and guts of murder ;)
i'm soo far behind on NN its not even funny - nothing is appealing to me right now
i remember randomly picking up his book at the library when it was on the new releases table - I LOVED it - it was my intro to NN - I didn't read the millenium trilogy until after that
literally brought up together - it was a review of one of his books, where we both went WTH!
oh and if you have the new Kindle Unlimited, her books are available via it ;)
its book 4 in the series, but the first one that was translated
our July author is
