“After twenty years as a family psychologist, I know that no one is born a good parent. But I also know that almost everyone can become one – and that everyone can become better. The role of parent to a child will be the most important role you’ll ever have in your life. It will demand wisdom, knowledge, lots of courage, and even more self-knowledge. At times it will demand more of you than you’d ever expect, but the beauty of it all is:
If you become a better parent, you will also become a better person.
It’s in other words very much worth the hard work.”
How do you get a happy child? How do you foster confidence? How do you prepare a child for sad things to come? How angry are you actually allowed to get? Which is the most common mistake parents make? And what is really the most important job of parents during a child’s infancy and adolescence?
Parental Magic is a modern-day bible for 21st century parents. In seven easy steps, psychologist and family therapist Hedvig Montgomery guides parents and guardians towards what everyone wishes for: children and adults who are content and happy with themselves – also when together.
Parental Magic is the smart and simple book that will teach you how to become the parent you wish to be.

Weekdays. Yesterdays. Laters. Presents. Life. Living. Ageing. Death. Life and death and life again. The memories.
The road. The ageing. The halting. The body and soul. House and home. Work. The wine. The wind. The car-driving. The walking. The country.
The sickness. The here and not there. The moments lived and the moments still left. The cranes. The love. The company. The loneliness. The emptiness.
Weekdays. Those that were. Those that are. Those to come. She, who was there. All that was and isn’t anymore.
Weekdays is a collection of excerpts from Ulf Lundell’s personal diary. Music, family life, writing, nature, politics, health, and society: he observes it all in the present, and looks back at even more in the past.

– Västerbottens-Kuriren
Wolf Hour is a fast-paced, psychologically rich thriller that rewards close attention and has a genuine mind bender of an ending.
– Apple Books Review
In every way, this is a generous, warmly friendly, funny, and thoroughly delightful series of books.
– BTJ
A brilliant novel that – without false pathos – beautifully addresses aging, saying goodbye, and reflecting on one’s own successes and failures. A highly recommended debut novel!
– Belletristik Couch
I’m impressed. Moved. Feeling speechless and struggling to put my experience into words. You’re the One I Write About is a strong, beautiful and exhilarating read.

Nowhere Land/Women in Revolt is the first part of a trilogy. It is about being so young that life is a horizon of possibilities and resistance, about what it takes to become an artist, and what stories one tells when nothing has yet happened.
