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!

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”
