My Name is Anna by Lizzy Barber has been at the top of my “to read” list since hearing her speak at Iceland Noir in November. Snow outside, hot tea and my fav chair inside. Ready-set-go! @bylizzybarber.bsky.social

Just listened to Justin Carter eulogize his grandfather with such loving respect. Being remembered as a humanitarian and man of character takes a lifetime of good deeds. I hope all in the room had their listening ears on — one in particular.

May your days be merry and bright.

Took this on my recent trip to Iceland. According to Icelandic folklore, the Yule Cat roams the countryside, going from house to house, looking to eat any children not wearing the new clothes they got for Christmas. Yikes!

Iceland: The Land of Fire and Ice. No kidding! Taken from opposite sides of the rooftop bar at the Reykjavik Edition Hotel three nights ago. 💙

My brother-in-law took this one as he was driving into Reykjavik; incredible site. Great job this morning!

Heading to Reykjavik and Iceland Noir. SO many great speakers — especially eager to hear @harlancoben.bsky.social
