I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

🇮🇸 #Iceland, 1920. Side effects of too much truth include death… in this historical suspense novel set under the Northern lights.

🥇 Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal – Best Historical Fiction.

📕 e-book (all stores) • paperback • hardcover • audiobook

➡️ www.bjornlarssen.com/storytellers

Right side: the cover of ‘Storytellers’ by Bjørn Larssen.

Left side – review quotes:
★★★★★ This story feels like how I would believe Iceland feels to an outsider looking in, rough, dark, and beautiful.
★★★★★ Bjørn Larssen’s “Storytellers”, firmly cements his place as a masterful storyteller in a 20th century saga set in rural and rugged Iceland.
★★★★★ If you don't believe that the blacksmith, a depressive alcoholic, could steal your heart, give this book a try.
★★★★★ This unique tale is storytelling at its best.
★★★★★ Storytellers is an incredible read. I'd love to go to Iceland one day - seeing the Northern Lights is on my bucket list. Even if I never do, though, I feel like I've kind of been there with this book. A suspenseful, hilarious, poignant, extraordinary book.
★★★★★ Hauntingly atmospheric, it somehow shows us all the dark bleakness of the place while inspiring us with wanderlust to see it. The author's love of Iceland shines through.
★★★★★ This exquisite tale comes together brilliantly at the end … in quite a satisfying and impressive way. The reader can feel the heart and soul that went into writing it.
★★★★★ There is something magical and enchanting about Storytellers that makes it an unputdownable book.

‘Stay true to yourself – and fly closer to the sun’: what I’ve learned from 50 years of rejection

As a writer, I have been rejected thousands of times, and it initially led to shock, denial and anger. Then I accepted it. Here’s what you can gain from doing so too

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

A short amble by the river Wear in lunch hour. Saw what I think might’ve been a cormorant fishing in the river, and a couple of waxwings foraging for berries. 😊

The river with willows on the banks starting to turn yellow.

White yarrow and pink Himalayan balsam flowers.

Tall plant with yellow flowers, possibly goldenrod but not sure.
