is on page 3 of 311 of The Hummingbird Effect: Book club. God no. Not another literary one. Can barely understand what is trying to be said. I guess that makes it so well written? Urgh.

I thought this was a curious concept, cyberpunk, solarpunk, and in between the two, transitionary stories. As a genre, I’m kind of done with cyberpunk, but fascinated by solarpunk, so I didn’t really get why the editor Phoebe Wagner wanted to mix the ...more | |

Like the title suggests this is about a stray dog, one by the name of Squirrel. We follow her from birth until she is getting old, and tired. For most of that time she is a stray. At one point she becomes a summer dog for one family, and eventually, ...more | |

“Between ourselves, there is no such thing, abstractly, as a 'good' book. A book is 'good' only when it meets some human hunger or refutes some human error. A book that is good for me would very likely be punk for you.”

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. :)

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.

Hæ 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. :)

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. :)

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!

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. :-)
