2017 was a good year for me. My novel “Jomsviking” became a bestseller, and it still is. It has so far been sold to seven countries and I will soon start editing the next book in the Jomsviking series.

2017 was also very stressful, but in a good way. Still, I can feel that it’s been a demanding year. I believe I had less than 10 days off during the whole year. It has been 7 hour weeks and long days. Fortunately, my Youtube channel forced me to get out of my office! As readers of this blog will know, I love bushcrafting, nature and hiking. I didn’t get to go sailing as much as I would have liked, but I will be purchasing a larger sailing yacht this spring, which will enable me to write on board.

I guess 2017 taught me that as long as you work hard and never consider giving up as an option, you will reach your goals.

Happy New Year, everybody. May 2018 be a wonderful year for you.
