A New Novel – coming soon

10 May 2025 By admin Leave a Comment

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?

26 April 2025 By admin Leave a Comment

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?

12 April 2024 By admin Leave a Comment

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?

19 January 2023 By admin Leave a Comment

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, […]

Happy New 2023!

1 January 2023 By villia 1 Comment

Dear reader,2022 is gone and 2023 is here. A year is different for us all. Some may experience it as the best year of their lives, while others are forced to stare into the void. 2022 was another strange year. Covid is still here. I lost a friend to the pandemic. My last grandparent left […]

Memory Lane

Little Me

21 July 2012 By villia Leave a Comment

Since the completion of the polished draft and the printing of it in a book form, many have said they admire me for achieving this and how they wish they could write novels. It seems there are wannabe novelists all around us. I use the word “wannabe” in the best and most positive sense, as […]

Jónsmessa – smásaga

21 June 2021 By villia Leave a Comment

Sagt er að á Jónsmessu geti kýr talað, álfkonur freisti manna og selir breytist í menn. Jón fór til hvílu, en honum varð lítið um svefn þessa nóttina.

Lucifer’s Boredom – a short story

16 April 2021 By villia Leave a Comment

The bells rung and Salvatore – that’s what he called himself these days – fixed his sleek black hair. One must look his best in front of the almighty. Sermon next Sunday, find your way in God, a poster by the entrance said. He stroked the benches with his fingers as he walked up the […]

Micro Blogging

7 June 2013 By villia Leave a Comment

Not every blog post is created equal. Some are long, some short. But they are all meant to be read. And sometimes it can be good to throw a simple idea out in the open. So here is my new experiment. Micro blogging on a mobile device and automatically sharing it on social media. Oh, […]

A New Eden – a short story

28 May 2021 By villia Leave a Comment

He turned and looked at the spaceship behind him. A relic of their old world. The last great achievement before civilisation turned inwards and was forced to react to the climate catastrophe of the late twenty-first century.

The Woman by the Road – a short story

2 April 2021 By villia Leave a Comment

This story is based on events that happened to me many years ago, and would later be the inspiration for my first novel, Under the Black Sand. It was around an hour after midnight in late summer of 1988 when I drove out of the city to spend the weekend with my grandparents. They lived […]

The Glorious Problems of Rewriting

3 February 2013 By villia Leave a Comment

After the great eruption in 1783, everything was gone. The sky had turned dark and they hadn’t seen the sun for weeks. Black ash and lava covered their fields and the tiny cottage was buried underneath. The animals were all dead. Many of the people the knew were dead. The land was dead. Black, like […]
