My first window into solarpunk
I have been getting more and more interested in solarpunk since I first came across it last year, so I guess it was just a matter of time before I tried my hand at writing one.
That story has now been published in a general online literature magazine called Litterateur. It is called "The Dimming Window" and is not just my first attempt at writing solarpunk, but also my second attempt at writing ch Read more of this blog post »

| This is the first book about the penguins Pringle and Finn, delivering cake for weddings, and in the end their own wedding. Cute, very cute in fact, children’s book with a good massage. | |

Thanks Melki. I’ve never been much of a painter, but I enjoy watching Bob Ross paint. 🙂

I’m happy for them. That is a nice way to remember his brother. Hope you have a good week too. 🙂

Hákon wrote: "If you publish the mainstream story I would appreciate if you would let me know."Will do! Actually, one other story I've written, though not set in Iceland, features the Norse gods and Norse mythology. That's mainstream and is called The Ragnarök Chronicles. :)
I'll let you know if I release the other short story set in Iceland in the New Year. :)
Best Wishes

Hæ Nicki,I had a look at Northern Lights, and it looks interesting, but maybe not my genre. :-) If you publish the mainstream story I would appreciate if you would let me know. I might like to read that one.
Best regards,
Hákon.

So far only one of the two is published, and that is a MM (gay romance) short story called Northern Lights.
My other Icelandic story is mainstream fiction, but is not yet released. I may consider publishing it as a free read in 2017. If I do, I'll let you know. :)

Your Icelandic makes sense. Which of your stories is set in Iceland? I might like to read them.
Hæ HákonTakk fyrir „friend request“.

I only recently started learning, so I hope that made sense.
Perhaps if my Icelandic improves enough I'll be able to read one of your books.
I visited Reykjavik for the first time a year ago and loved it there. I've even set a couple of my stories in Iceland. :)

And warmest greetings from Iceland. Thank you for accepting my friend request. All the best, Hákon.
WARMest greetings from Erie, Pennsylvania, USA all the way to Iceland! Thank you so much for contacting me. Happy Saturday, I hope you had a good week, are enjoying a great weekend, and will have a great week ahead! I love how you worded your biography! I feel like I too have taken early retirement from writing in order to read more! (And I did start writing--and reading--at a very young age, as well. Isn't it great!) Have a lovely and productive day. Blessings!Best wishes from Majenta

The second novel of my series might interest you (or not) as I write a wee bit about the battles in England and the last remaining Vikings."Hi CeDany, and thanks for accepting my friend request. Yes, stories of vikings can be interesting, so I may just have to read your novel. :-)
