Living and writing in darkness and light in my very own little corner of the world - Raufarhöfn Iceland, pop. around 200 black souls... Loving the #booksky community ❤️

Just arrived at Reykjavík for the Iceland Noir writers conference for the third time. First time I saw the moon being cradled by cloud-hands. Then a a volcano erupted. I wonder what this year will show me 🤩

At the south gate of the Arctic Henge, looking over my village. Should be writing but a brisk walk is supposed to stimulate the mind, right? 😎

All my life I’ve loved finding a new author, then realizing they have written many books 🤩 Such a joy! When readers tell me they’ve felt that way about my books, it reminds me why I don't give up in the tough world of modern publishing. What keeps you going?

Currently writing a psychological locked-room mystery, because apparently trapping people in their own heads is more fun than trapping them in a room 🤷 Clues are optional, denial is mandatory.

First snow of the winter in north Iceland.
It came at dawn in frosted lace,
A shy hello to every place.
Tomorrow’s rain will chase it through.
One day of winter passing through.

The #irony of being a sci-fi writer stuck in a timeline so dumb no editor would buy it. “Too unrealistic,” they’d say, while I watch the news and think, yep, that’s canon now 🤷 #WritersLife

It's gonna be a #writing day but I had to start with a calming beach walk. Aiming for 2000 words in my noir crime novel (third in the Darkness series).

A news reporter was interviewing me about living in my village. She recognized my name and said her mom told her to hurry up and finish my latest book so they could discuss it, there was so much to talk about. One of the best compliments I've gotten ❤️📚

The short sub arctic summer has finally shown up! Time to swap snowboots for sleeping bags and plan all the camping trips before the polar wind remembers us again 🌬️👀

Swapped coffee for tea and took up Arctic gardening. Clearly I'm one plot twist away from solving small-town crimes... 🌻🔍

Visited my grandpa in the fjord where I grew up. Funny how you only really see the beauty of a place once you’ve been away long enough to miss it.
