Announcing: A Sky Without Stars
It’s finally time. And I’m excited! A new novel is on the way, my fourth.And the third and final installment in the Frank and Celestina saga.

A New Novel – coming soon
Today is my birthday and I feel like giving you things. My books. All of them. And a quick update on what’s coming.
Free. Worthless or priceless?
It is the end of winter, summer is coming. The weather today is nice, I drove home from work with the top open. One of the simple pleasures in my life. Driving with the warm wind in my hair. Summer is when people read books. They lie on sunbeds on beaches, besides swimming pools in […]
Translations? How? Why?
I’m sure you are all aware that I’m not a traditionally published author with million sales to my name. I write when I can and when I feel like it, I sell a handful of books a year, probably not enough to go grocery shopping… once. But you write because you want to. Because you […]
Paperback Writer – how to get them?
Late in 2022, I “remastered” my two existing novels, Under the Black Sand, and Blood and Rain. I made slight changes to the contents and redesigned the books. The cover of Black Sand is now completely different. Blood and Rain is now available in a hardcover for the first time. Both paperbacks are now larger, […]
Memory Lane
Remix, remaster, re-edit?
When is a work of art finished? Is it ever, or do we simply abandon it when we’ve had enough? In early summer 2013, I completed my debut novel, Under the Black Sand. It was done. After years of work, from a short film to a screenplay to a different screenplay to a novel, to […]
Mad World
The day so far. 1. Men are free to rape women in Iceland. 2. Icelandic working class can’t get a payrise because it’ll cause inflation. Politicians will get a 9.4% hike though. Because they’re so useful, I guess. 3. Most of the Paris attackers are either dead or arrested. The rest are known. France has […]
Escape – a short story
It wasn’t about the woman, still lying in the bed he had just gotten out of.
Is it possible?
The decision to dedicate 2021 to short fiction wasn’t taken a long time ago. It was two days before Christmas and I was aimlessly browsing the web. Came across a list of 52 short story concepts on Tumblr and it made me think. What if…? I have written 2-3 shorts in my entire life. 4-5 […]
The Confusing Coronation of Karel I – a short story
Karel hadn’t understood why he was to call himself I. Karel I, I am a king and so I shall call myself I.

Every Writer has a Voice
I was at work last night when a colleague asked if I already had the paperback of the new novel. It won’t come out for another two weeks, but I have my first print run. She took it, and after complimenting the cover design and format of the book, opened it on a random page and […]
