miller s cottage finally my second novella about the curious writer tora skammelsen from the remote danish region of thy is out there price 1 99 only tora buys her home near the north sea but village life does not quite live up to her expectations soon she develops a keen interest in the activities of her peculiar neighbour margrethe why does the widow try to hide the fact that a man is living with her besides there is rune the charming sales rep at the old mill inn who all but sweeps tora off her feet while her friend police inspector thomas bilgren is preoccupied with a bank robbery the

this little miracle is not mine however for the first time i have published an english story for another danish writer lene rannva saltoft writes fantasy gothic horror and she does it so well that i knew immediately that i had to publish her books so well that i feel a little bit envious because i am the one who is used to receiving praise for my command of the english language the story is available from amazon for 0 99 only but please tell me if you want a review copy or if you know of reviewers who would appreciate this little horror gem the mad girls of angel maker lake a revival of

crystal nights the first review posted on may 9 2015 by dorte hummelshøj jakobsen i am still scatterbrained after the successful launch yesterday so instead of trying to do anything sensible i spend my time on facebook telling other writers how important your network is and i mean every word thanks to lovely friends and faithful readers the first review of crystal nights appeared yesterday crystal nights a scandinavian mystery by dorte hummelshoj jakobsen is an extraordinarily interesting chilling read that captivated my senses right away the author has a unique style that i can see readers gravitating towards an unusual way of telling a fictional story that plays true in many ways she has an authentic voice that i found easy to absorb as i went through this story rather quickly as if it was urgent business with my curiosity spiked i needed to know where this would lead the riveting mystery called me to attention and the smooth clever writing style had me turning the pages with a certain enthusiasm i don t always get from reading a book this one took me in from the very beginning crystal nights is a gripping thriller that captured the essence of the time and the place emotional it stirred feelings in me i didn t realize were there and this morning my brand new novel was 23 in the special british category scandinavian crime in the very best company happy and grateful yes indeed posted in uncategorized 4 comments crystal nights published posted on may 8 2015 by dorte hummelshøj jakobsen finally crystal nights is out there below is the description but if you are curious and want to know what vendsyssel my region was like in the 1960s you should take a look at this free picture companion kristallnacht in berlin 1938 a jewish family flees from persecution the mother desperate to assure her children freedom is within their grasp thirty years later ten year old lars ole disappears from a sleepy village in denmark after months of investigation the police have no leads creeping unease thickens when another boy disappears and lars ole s best friend is determined to act will niels succeed when the police have given up or will he pay with his life crystal nights is the story of the violence and evil that rips through a cosy and peaceful danish village in the 1960s the psychological mystery is dorte hummelshoj jakobsen s third standalone the danish edition of the book krystalnætter won a national competition in 2013 judge and editor lene dalmejer explains her choice crystal nights is a highly commendable historical suspense novel that captures the reader from the opening phrase it opens in berlin in 1938 on the night of the broken glass and a jewish family is preparing for a perilous escape to scandinavia subsequently the story moves 30 years ahead to 1967 to the small town kalum in northern jutland and soon tales of destiny emerge much larger than tiny kalum the novel is well turned and the plot is spot on dorte hummelshøj jakobsen writes in a fashion that almost makes you forget you are reading this is in itself a huge achievement the language breathes freely and we delve into the denmark of the 1960s without any discord whatsoever it is in short a first rate novel posted in candied crime crystal nights publication 4 comments crystal nights one great step posted on march 27 2015 by dorte hummelshøj jakobsen finally less than an hour ago i finished fiddling with the manuscript of crystal nights and sent it off to the proof reader the novel is a historical mystery a standalone like anna märklin s family chronicles and if you like remote danish villages and creeping anxiety this one may appeal to you a quotation from chapter four s onja kept insisting lars ole was with his father but now mikkelsen and lyngby felt an urgent need to get back to the station to organize a search for the boy mikkelsen had stopped joking about little tramps when it dawned on him that none of the parents had seen lars ole for more than forty eight hours mrs nielsen downstairs believed she had heard the boy leave the flat wednesday morning she had not seen him but she was sure she had heard the main door open some time in the morning i didn t hear him on the stairs but he is a quiet little boy so most days i don t she explained sonja had given them the names and phone numbers of her boyfriend and lars ole s closest friends from school afterwards she had gone with them outside to point out the corner of the road where kaj bager was supposed to have picked her son up it s right up there see a few hundred metres away she wrapped her sweater around her as if it were cold and though she held her chin high her voice was brittle by now all he had to do was walk up there to meet his father posted in uncategorized tagged anna märklin historical mystery 6 comments crystal nights some progress posted on january 11 2015 by dorte hummelshøj jakobsen happy new year to my readers i have enjoyed a lovely christmas with my family and now i am back in full swing editing editing and editing i have finished the draft of my next stand alone crystal nights the main part of the story takes place in vendsyssel the very northern part of jutland in the sixties and though i have changed the name of the village and made the main character into a boy my close relatives have seen through the disguise this is my childhood revisited the environment mind you not the violent crimes i was very happy in kalum a lovely and peaceful place to grow up so it is only in my horrible mind that children keep disapearing here you can see the danish cover created by mallory rock a teaser from one of the first chapters open your books on page forty seven mr petersen leaned back in his chair behind the heavy desk his dry voice hypnotizing the children to the point of sleep lone what can you tell us about the kristallnacht well kristallnacht that was the night between the ninth and the tenth of october 1938 the national socialists burnt down jewish shops homes schools and synagogues all around germany they did it because they wanted to blame the jews for a murder in paris ehm they called it kristallnacht afterwards because they smashed in so many windows that there were hardly any whole panes left where the jews lived the blacksmith s daughter rattled off her homework while making fresh dog s ears in the history book in front of her mr petersen was not as mean as mr sahl the headmaster but lone was not exactly one of the brightest children of fourth class quite soon she began to stutter and repeat herself so it would not take long before mr peterson had had enough of her rambling niels attention drifted away long before mr petersen s he did not mind history in general but the weather was unusually fine today after several rainy days the school year had started and of course the summer hit them at full force it was downright unfair to coop them up in the dusty classroom and many of the boys dreamed themselves outside on the sports field or up in the trees while mr petersen tried to make a confused lone understand the gist of the nuremberg laws and a few major historical events of the 1930s when he seemed to think she had repeated herself enough times he let her off the hook and nodded in the direction of anna could anna tell them about the jews in warsaw lone forgot to mention that kristallnacht was also called the night of broken glass anna began she embarked on a smug account of ghettoes and work camps jews who tried to escape by emigrating to america and the humiliation of wearing the yellow star badges mr petersen leant back in his chair putting his fingertips together as if he were listening to his favourite composer did he actually understand it would be a waste of time to test the boys who still had the long holiday under their skin and it was just wednesday three long days to go before sunday niels glanced at the empty chair next to his wondering if the history lesson would ever end the novel should be ready for publication in a few months but if any of you would like to betaread it for me just let me know posted in uncategorized 8 comments merry
