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 ❤️
Winter is coming at Iceland Noir 🤩 (and that muscle guy is probably toast) 😂

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? 😎

I relate but I still wouldn't change a thing 🤷

October mornings in the sub arctic are inspirational. Plan is to write 5 pages per day for two weeks. Day two and so far, so good ✍️😉

Unexpected heatwave in north #Iceland and life is good 😎

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.

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).

My #cat, utterly drained from dramatic complaints after being left hone alone for two days, is now hanging off the sofa like a used towel 😉

Off camping in Iceland’s “heat wave”. It's pushing a scandalous 20°C (68°F). Practically tropical by local standards. No promises I won’t complain it’s too hot AND pack a sweater. 🏕️🇮🇸

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.

Is he yawning or protesting 7°C (despite the sun) in June? Hard to tell.

A masterclass in plausible deniability. They’re not edgy, they’re just allergic to accountability 🤷

Three cats, one bed, and zero boundaries. The one in the middle (Goofy, the only girl) is clearly mid-monologue, the front one (Joey) is in a food coma, and the back (Needy)? Well, he’s pretending none of this is happening.

Been taking some time away from writing to focus on some long-overdue self-care. That means slower days and deeper listening. I’ll be back to writing soon, more present, more grounded. I hope 😊
For now, pls enjoy this relaxing view from my back porch...

Happy Icelandic Independence Day! We broke up with Denmark in 1944 (but we still like them). In a way it’s one of the healthiest long-distance relationship in history: they send design, we send volcano ash 🤷

Year four living in Arctic Iceland. Spent the week collecting plants like a low-budget botanical thief and just potted the whole gang. Give me a few years and this yard’s going full jungle (whether the Arctic likes it or not) 🌼
