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 […]

HUNGER CITY 3 – Temperance Building

17 March 2016 By villia Leave a Comment

It’s Friday and time for another instalment of Hunger City. Luna finds herself hunted by the poachers and her life is about to change forever. As has been said earlier, Hunger City is based on the world of Diamond Dogs, created by David Bowie in 1974, which in turn was based on 1984 by George Orwell. […]

Undir Svörtum Sandi – hinn langi vegur

17 October 2019 By villia Leave a Comment

Þessi dagur markar endalok langrar ferðar. Snemma á árinu 2006 – fyrir rúmum 13 árum – langaði mig að gera stuttmynd. Ég var nýbúinn að klára kvikmyndaskólann og framtíðin var björt. Hugmyndirnar komu og fóru, engin þeirra virtist vera sérstaklega spennandi. Mig langaði að gera íslenska mynd, ég saknaði landsins míns. Afi var veikur og […]

Berlin – 25 Years of Freedom

9 November 2014 By villia Leave a Comment

Growing up in the shadow of the atomic bomb was an odd experience. I remember sitting in a sand box, playing with a plastic shovel. Possibly eating the black volcanic sand. Another kid said the Russians had more bombs than the Americans. That was scary, because the Russians were the enemy. He said they could […]

Reviews – What are they Good For?

5 October 2019 By villia Leave a Comment

Nothing is more rewarding to an author than seeing their book reviewed. It doesn’t really matter all that much whether it’s positive or negative. The fact that someone took the time and effort to read your novel and write a review is humbling. Positive rewiews are better, of course. They stroke our ego and make […]

Get this!

22 July 2012 By villia Leave a Comment

One of the best “how to write” books I ever read is Wannabe A Writer by Jane Wenham-Jones. It is funny and extremely informative. And it can be downloaded for free today. Edit: And now I’ll dampen my enthusiasm a bit. This download is available to people in the UK only. If you are in […]

What Have You Done, WordPress?

27 October 2015 By villia Leave a Comment

Twitter followers will be well aware that I’ve had some issues with FatCow hosting. They wouldn’t restore my data, they stalled at every opportunity until “the system” deleted the files. But there was hope. Archive.org’s WayBackMachine did have my site on file and I managed to copy my scribblings into a word processor. It’ll be […]

Keep Calm

19 September 2012 By villia Leave a Comment

Distractions. They are everywhere. They are the writer’s worst enemy. Someone said that genius was 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. It’s all hard work and keeping at it. An updated version of this quote was that genius was 1% inspiration and 99% avoiding the Internet. Keep writing, they tell us. Write daily. But sometimes it’s […]
