Would you like to contribute with a post about language? Some ideas of topics: memories from studying language at school, literary writing, bilingualism, translation difficulties, weird linguistics, problems you have encountered in the language field, etc, etc… 

Remember to add your name (pseudonyms are ok too) and link(s) to your website(s) or project(s).

Over Yonder Now Also in Sweden

Over Yonder is now available at Swedish Adlibris. You will find it right here.

It is also available at Swedish Bokus, CDOn, etc, but Adlibris has the lowest price. Not sure why the sum varies so much. We editors have no power over the price-fixing of Over Yonder in Sweden.
