This week I have been guest author on best-selling author Terri Giuliano Long’s blog. It was a tremendous honor to be invited to join her on her wonderful blog and this week I have been amazed time and again by the beautiful ways my book was presented, it brought tears to my eyes more than once!
The week started off with my guest blog post “Writing My Way Out of the Silence”.
And then eight quotes from Beautiful Affliction, which even was made into a small video!
After which, came an excerpt from my book, chapter 1, beautifully illustrated.
And lastly, eight more quotes, with one more video!
I am so very grateful to Terri, for this opportunity, and of course, for the beautiful endorsement she offered after reading Beautiful Affliction:
“In her breathtaking memoir, Beautiful Affliction, Lene Fogelberg elegantly unites the savagery and raw beauty of the natural world with the wisdom and poignant insight of a young wife and mother for whom each moment, whether or not she realizes it, may be her last. Exquisite imagery and poetic prose pulse through this powerful, emotionally gripping story. With Beautiful Affliction, Lene Fogelberg gives us a gorgeously written story to savor and share, while adding her shimmering, deeply intelligent voice to the literary pantheon.”
—TERRI GIULIANO LONG, author of USA Today bestseller In Leah’s Wake
There will be an excerpt of Terri’s endorsement on the back cover of Beautiful Affliction, and the full quote will be in the “Praise for” pages in the beginning of my book.
Only four more weeks until publication day! Very exciting!

I’ve seen a few of these on your Google+ account, bit I want to go through the entire list and enjoy every post.
Talk later 😉
I appreciate your support on Google+, which is a fairly new platform to me, wonderful that you’re also over there my friend!
This week has been a little crazy for me but I finally had the time and mental awareness necessary to look through these blog posts. That first chapter…CHILLS!!! Seriously. I wonder if I’ll be able to space out my reading when the book arrives….maybe I’ll have to get a babysitter and read it all in a day, haha. Lovely, lovely, lovely! Any updates on your novel??
Yep, crazy weeks can be totally… crazy! Thanks for still taking the time to read the excerpt from my book and for your kind words, and I hope next week will be a good one.
I only have a few more tweaks to make in the manuscript of my new novel, to have the first draft done, but seems like time is hard to find these days, as well as mental awareness (had to borrow your words, they capture this state perfectly).

Hemma från semester har jag nu läst och tittat på videon – wow säger jag bara! Hur kan jag vänta på boken så “länge”! Vill läsa den nuuu!
Välkommen tillbaka 🙂 Vad roligt, jag blev helt tagen själv när jag såg filmerna, och rörd över att Terri lät göra sådana fina presentationer av min bok.
All text jag läst känns som poesi! Varje ord faller på rätt plats i sitt sammanhang.
Text o musik tillsammans – bättre kan det inte bli!

Tack snälla! Kram <3
