Some people have a special gift. The kind of gift that makes them radiate and spread their light even through a screen. One of this rare individuals is Elleria Janas (aka Ellie) and I truly hope I will be given the opportunity of meeting her in person one day. Here is her inspiring story and […]
This is my first year participating in the online event Multicultural Children’s Book Day as an author and book reviewer. I am honored to be part of this, helping to raise awareness for children’s books that celebrate diversity and inspire a love of learning. I received a digital copy of the illustrated children’s book ‘Amelie […]
I am one of the blessed people who live the life they always wanted to live. What united us with Roy from the very beginning, was a very clear idea of what our dreams were, and these dreams involved travelling, writing and freedom. During our first date, I talked about writing and books, and […]
Erik has been obsessing lately about the ‘bad’ guys. Who is ‘bad’ who is ‘nice’, whether there is a good Spiderman and a bad Spiderman, whether Hulk is mean, the Bad Wolf in ‘Red Riding Hood’ is always bad, and the Woodcutter is good. ‘Are there bad guys out there daddy?’ he asks. […]

Out in the woods with Nelly for a morning walk, enjoying the nature, wondering who outside of Norway would believe that this seemingly idyllic island is actually a prison? And that the best beach of the broader area (Vestfold) is the one facing towards this island, the Bastøy Prison, the first ‘green prison’ in the […]
And in what felt like a blink of an eye, or an eternity, depending on the phase -or day- that we have been going through, Erik turned 4 years old! This is a funny conversation from his morning wake up call. Me: Good morning my love, Happy Birthday! You’re turning into a big boy today, […]
Last Sunday – Out on a morning walk with the kids. Nelly in her Ergo, wearing a cute yellow girlie hat with a ribbon on the side, and Erik his policeman hat and his spiderman water bottle hanging from his neck. Walking up the street of our country house in Greece, while the rest of […]
