I know I had another topic for this, but was unable to find it... Anyway! As some of you might know I'm an author. I've written a fantasy serie called "Elementstenarna" ("Elemental stones") and now I can prodly announce that my fantasy trilogy is completed! My last book is called "Stenväktarnas arv" (The Stone guardians legacy) It was a long, but awesome, twelve year journey. The plot is something along these lines: Two thiefs meet by accident during a mission to steal a mysterious stone (vattenstenen/water stone). They got the mission from an old man called Valgone, and are now dragged into a chain of events that turn out to be bigger than they can forsee. Valgones mission is to prevent the evil Garland to get his hands on these elemental stones, because if he gets them he will sink the world into a darkness that no one really understands the extent of. On their journey they encounter deserters, monsters, borgaler, a mysterious girl and... Well, other things. The first book starts of as classic, heroic fantasy. The plot gets deeper and greyer in book two, and in the final one... We'll see! What might be of interest here is where I got most of my inspiration. I really love modern authors such as Joe Abercrombie and George RR Martin, but most inspiration comes from games! Such as World of Warcraft, Dark Souls, Castlevania and Final Fantasy, to mention a few. Games nowadays are such a great source of inspiration and story telling. If anyone is interested in checking the latest book out you can find it on my site: www.hansolsson.net or google. The only negative part, I guess, is that I write in swedish :) Well, thanks for your time, and if you read my books, enjoy!

Currently half-way through the last part of the series and I can vouch for the books being really good. I especially like the more mature language choice and the graphic descriptions of things, it makes the books stand out from other titles that I have read in this genre. You should really have the books translated to English!
