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 ✍️😉

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

Crime, thrillers and I'm actually writing a story for kids 😊 How about you?

Yes, every time I write I set a target. Just so I don't get lost in linguistics and research instead of writing 😂

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. 🏕️🇮🇸

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.

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 🤷
