We are happy to tell you that Jomsviking has been sold in a very nice pre-empt to Penguin Verlag in Germany!
Britta Claus from Penguin has the following impression of Jomsviking:
’I’m afraid all of us here at Penguin may have caught a bit of the Viking fever! I delved into Jomsviking yesterday. Bjørn Andreas Bull-Hansen has a great way with words—I was very impressed—and the way he tells his story is so lively and atmospheric, you can practically envisage the scene right up to the tiniest, impeccably researched detail! Torstein as a character leaps out at you from the first line and, to be honest, I think I was ready to adopt him after the truly heart-rending scene where he is forced to watch his father’s brutal death.
Jomsviking is the epic saga we have been looking for for quite some time now, and it is the perfect, well-wrapped package: Bjørn Andreas Bull-Hansen is a great narrator and he knows his subject, the series will appeal to Viking enthusiasts as well as lovers of big-time narration and Game of Thrones fans, and I can see us working very well with the author’s background—he even kind of looks like a Viking!’
After careful consideration of several production companies, Anne Elvedal has chosen Monster to develop a TV series based on her critically acclaimed psychological thriller, You Can Call Me Jan.
Anne Elvedal’s gripping psychological thriller You Can Call Me Jan has earned its place on both Adresseavisa’s and NRK’s prestigious lists of the best books of the year.
The Knit Awards took place this weekend, and two of our amazing Knitting Book authors walked away with prestigious prizes.
“‘You Can Call Me Jan’ is a masterfully written thriller that draws you deeper and deeper into the heroine’s dark world,” says Claudia Winkler, senior fiction editor at Jo Nesbø’s German publishing house, Ullstein Verlag.
We congratulate Anders Totland with his nomination for Bokslukerprisen 2024!
