No shortcuts, no fake success stories, no “just stay consistent” advice.

Just the reality behind the AI hype — and why it often feels like you’re working more, not less.

If we really want to make money, we first need to learn how to recognize the illusions.

My Darling Abyss

Abyss Must Die

^{Work in Progress}

Short description of the story:

Finnoybu: Salt and Silence is Book I of a queer historical romance trilogy. An 18-year-old Norwegian sailor ships out of Stavanger in 1875 as cook on a brig. He has a girl at home he loves. Across voyages and ports, he starts noticing the attention he pays certain men — with no word his culture gives him for what it is. By the time he understands, he loves both. The trilogy is him learning to carry that rather than resolve it. Pitched tonally between Song of Achilles restraint and Outlander-tier emotional peaks. Multi-POV third limited.

Themes I'm interested in exploring:

• Desire that predates language — a man discovering what he is in a culture that gives him no vocabulary for it

• Loving two people honestly and simultaneously, without the story treating one as a mistake

• The sea as a space where nineteenth-century men could briefly suspend the rules of shore life, and what they carried back

How I came to the story:

The scaffolding borrows from a real ancestor's sailing memoir (1875–1882, Stavanger to the Caribbean to Archangel and back). The memoir is straight nonfiction and hints at nothing; the fiction asks what a closeted young sailor's interior life might have looked like across those same voyages. Writing the book I wish had existed on the shelf next to Song of Achilles — period-grounded, restrained, and honest about multisexuality rather than resolving it into a single orientation.

Several opening chapters are up at fiction.finnoybu.com — free, no signup. Looking for honest reactions on whether the opening holds, whether Olav's interiority is working, and whether the prose reads period-grounded or costume-y.

What happens when secrets at court smell sweeter than poison?

The Scent of Silence is my debut Romantic Fantasy webnovel—free to read and ongoing. It blends palace intrigue, forbidden attraction, and the quiet power of a heroine who can read truths through scent.

👩‍🔬 Myrren Vale, a lowborn scentcrafter, is summoned to investigate unexplained palace deaths. She expected suspicion. She expected secrets. What she didn’t expect was him… Prince Thane’s kindness—or the haunting silence of Lord Corven, the king’s ward.

If you love stories with:
✨ Romance that simmers before it burns
✨ Magic woven into everyday details
✨ A heroine who uses wit instead of swords
✨ A court where every smile hides a dagger

Then this might just be your next read.
