You can read the first two chapters of my work-in-progress crime novel for free on the web right now.

Because of the pandemic, which introduced major unpredictability in my workload throughout the year, combined with complications like our move to Düsseldorf, many of my plans for 2020 went out of the window. One of the things I got completely side-tracked on is my novel Grim Deep. After first announcing it to the world in March and putting up an initial version of the website for it, I never got around to publicly writing about the first chapter when I published it a few weeks later.

Well, I finally managed to do some final editing on the second chapter of the book and you can read it on the website right now.

As I explained when I first announced the book, this is very much a work in progress:

The idea is for you to be able to read it, for free of course, on the web while I am writing. This will mean everything in the story is subject to change, as I have very little fully mapped out yet. I like to write very much by the seat of my pants, Stephen King style. But you’ll be able to see the story as it develops and, along the way, heckle me to keep me writing.
