Well. If you’ve been reading my blog for any time at all, you’ll know that the last six weeks have been a little action-packed. Scotland, Wales, England and then three weeks in Iceland. It’s been magical. But I have to say, the wonderful folks at the Poisoned Pen sure know how to cap an adventure.Continue reading “Practically Perfect Poisoned Pen”

Research Trip Ride-Along: Wrap-up
It’s been a month on the road! Can you believe it? I travelled through England, Wales, Scotland, and of course…Iceland. I spent time in more than 20 museums and libraries, digging up all kinds of cool stuff for the next few books. An amazing, memorable journey. So, for today, a few pix to finish up…andContinue reading “Research Trip Ride-Along: Wrap-up”
Research Trip Ride-Along: Incomparable Ísafjörður
The West Fjords of Iceland are among the most beautiful locations in the world. I took this shot above the towering cliffs [of Insanity?] as I flew over the fjords, having no idea what lay before me. The whole experience left me pretty much speechless. Flying into Ísafjörður was simply incredible. Here’s a shot fromContinue reading “Research Trip Ride-Along: Incomparable Ísafjörður”
Research Trip Ride-Along: Astonishing Akureyri
I’m doing a lot of back-and-forthing on this trip, traversing this amazing country and taking one breath-taking flight after another. It’s been the research road-trip of a lifetime! It’s gotten so I hate lifting my head from the research and the writing to see what’s happening in the real world. Sometimes it’s just so sad,Continue reading “Research Trip Ride-Along: Astonishing Akureyri”
Research Trip Ride-Along: Rollicking Reykjavik
Whew. The absolute toughest part of this post is paring down the visuals. I have taken <checks> 1271 photos so far on this trip [and that’s with the bad ones culled out!], so yeah. An embarrassment of riches. I’m just going to start here with Reyk, since this is where I washed up first. YouContinue reading “Research Trip Ride-Along: Rollicking Reykjavik”
Research Trip Ride Along: Coo & Castles
Okay — turns out my last cave post gave quite a few people claustraphobia, so today I offer some relief in the form of a little stroll through a few ancient above-ground locations. I’ve got a rampart, a tidal island, a ruined priory, TWO castles, and a poison garden for you. A lot of materialContinue reading “Research Trip Ride Along: Coo & Castles”
Research Trip Ride-Along: Welsh Wonders
Ahhhh….Wales. So beautiful. I just love it here, and am so, so glad I came. With every stop I’ve found something to help with my current project, and the combined mystery and practicality of this place reminds me of Scotland. But Scotland it is not, for Wales has a charm and insoucience all its own.Continue reading “Research Trip Ride-Along: Welsh Wonders”
Research Trip Ride-Along: Days 1 & 2 [sorta]
Hello! I almost always try to blog my research trips, and here I am again. This one is going to be a WILD ride. When I planned this trip, I didn’t know I was going to be having a book coming out at the beginning of May, so leaving for almost all of April didn’tContinue reading “Research Trip Ride-Along: Days 1 & 2 [sorta]”
