So while I was in Finland, Orbit reverted the rights to all three of the Dagmar Shaw books.
I’ll try to make those available as soon as I can. I can hardly do a worse job of promoting them than the original publisher.

I am interviewed in Aamulehti, the second-largest newspaper in Finland.
You will be amazed at how well I speak Finnish.

I am at the 75th Worldcon, and it is perfectly glorious.
Also, the headline says I’m a “sci-fi great.” I won’t disagree.

Walking around Stockholm, I saw this statue, which I believe is that of Jean-Charles Bernadotte, the Gascon sergeant who rose to the rank of general during the French Revolution, and who then married Napoleon’s old girlfriend Desiree and went on to become King Karl XIV Johan of Sweden, founder of the present line of Swedish kings.
He is the only monarch known to have borne a “Death to Kings” tattoo.
I also noticed the statue is being crated up, as if it’s being shuttled out of sight somewhere.
If the Swedes have grown tired of the Bernadottes, want to shift them offstage, and need a new head of state, I am pleased to offer myself. I have no embarrassing tattoos, though I will adopt a slightly older style.

I am interviewed on a Swedish-language station on Finnish state radio! The analysis is in Swedish, but I’m speaking English. (No surprise there.)
Just hit the Avsnitt for 5.8.2017. I think.
And here’s a transcript of the interview, entirely in Swedish for those of you who want to puzzle it out.
