“On 6 January 2023, as I was preparing the Mont Noir launch, I was sitting in a Dutch Air Force canteen in Soesterberg. I had a few hours to burn.” A new blog on the origins of A Sky Without Stars. #WritingCommunity #WW2 #amwriting villiasgeirsson.com/2025/10/10/a...

Celestina is ready for A Sky Without Stars. Are you? 10 October 2025 villiasgeirsson.com #writingcommmunity #amwriting #booksky

Happy October! 🎃👻 Enjoy this photo of me at the moment Amazon finally approves A Sky Without Stars.

Suzanne Vega was as witty as ever, her voice hasn’t aged at all and it was lovely seeing Gerry Leonard again after too many years. #suzannevega #gerryleonard

Celestina is getting tired of waiting for Amazon. 23 days since A Sky Without Stars was submitted, still pending approval. Must be controversial. 🤔 We’re still determined to make 10/10 a publish day. For review copies, DM me. #ASkyWithoutStars #BookLaunch

The cool thing about writing historical fiction is that you tap into real history. Like the Blue Tram that ran through my village. I’ve heard of it, seen photos, but it now lives inside my next novel. Maybe I should donate a copy the town hall? #ASkyWithoutStars #AmWriting

Frank had heard the rumours of paratroopers near Leiden, entire squadrons dropping out of the sky like shadows. A Sky Without Stars is almost here. More info 👉 villiasgeirsson.com/book/a-sky-w...

It’s been 20 days since I submitted my latest novel to Amazon for publishing. It’s still “pending approval”. Every week, they tell me to wait 48-72 hours. They’ve crippled the launch. I’m going to need reviews. You wanna read this and be ready to post on 10/10? DM me. #WritingCommunity #booksky

This is a photo I took of Celestina in 1942. Around the time I submitted A Sky Without Stars for preorder on Amazon. They’re SLOW! Anyway, message me for an advance copy if you want it now and believe you can have a review ready on 10 October. #WritingCommunity #booksky

“Free speech in the land of the free” was a good narrative while it lasted. Is the 2nd amendment really more important than the 1st? I wrote a novella about deepfakes and political silencing. Out in 2026. #FreeSpeech Subscribe so you won’t miss it: villiasgeirsson.com/newsletter/

Jimmy Kimmel fired. Colbert before him. “Free speech in the land of the free” was a good narrative while it lasted. I wrote a novella about deepfakes and political silencing. Out in 2026. USA just caught up. #FreeSpeech Subscribe so you won’t miss it: villiasgeirsson.com/newsletter/

I was ready to buy an #iPhone but I hate the look of the entire 17 Pro line. The white 16 Pro was elegant and classy, the desert one beautiful. The 17 Pro, a vulgar and unrefined monstrosity. Only reason I’m contemplating the orange one is that if you go ugly, go proper ugly.

Listening to Heathen by @davidbowiereal.bsky.social for the first time in years. I knew it was good but I had forgotten that it’s almost perfect. One song is meh, rest is a damn masterpiece. #Bowie #Heathen #music

Just a quick message to say I just added a scene to A Sky Without Stars and every single sentence foreshadows another event in the story. Every word has weight. Stupidly exited, so wanted to say it. 🙂 #WritingCommunity #amwriting #booksky

I just finished writing my fourth novel… A Sky Without Stars It’s done! The final draft! Is done! Now I just need to make it ready for publishing, for you. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #booksky

One of the good things we took away from our trip to #Albania was this #coffee. After a beautiful cappuccino at a cafe in Durrës, I asked what beans they used. And bought a bag. And now it’s finished… An Albanian production, not sold in Western Europe. 😬

Got a message from an ARC reader. “I loved the ending...” Time to get A Sky Without Stars out into the world. Finish the trilogy. Watch this space. Subscribe to the newsletter. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #WW2 #booksky

Haven’t been on Facebook in weeks. Some Putin apologists in Iceland blabbing about energy prices in the #EU being out of control. I replied that they are not. He asks on what planet I am. I reply, in the EU. Are you as well or are you just repeating nonsense you’ve been fed? 🤷‍♂️

The US has so much economic and military power that it’s not a mistake to view it as akin to Tolkien’s Ring of Power. And… that has uncomfortable implications. But seriously - did we think that we could build such a powerful thing, and then not have cruel people try to take it for themselves? +

Cat needs to be away for a night in a couple of weeks. Not her fault. Work needs to be done in the house and it involves chemicals. We considered a cat hotel but we don’t want her to feel scared or lonely, so we booked a human hotel that allows cats. A win! #cat #hotel

They warned me about driving in Albania. No need. I loved their roads! #Albania #holiday #driving

Turn the other cheek sounds cute in fiction. In politics, it’ll get you punched. Twice. #Newsom seems to get this. He punches back. #2028

Late home from work, so simple dinner. Thankfully I have The Trooper. #IronMaiden #beer

Charleroi Airport is an exercise in humiliation, a stress experiment disguised as an airport. Shame this chaos is allowed inside the EU. #travel #Aviation #TravelNightmare #Belgium It was so bad I didn’t even take photos. What airport will you avoid at all costs?

Fascinated by this dress. I never am fascinated by dresses.

Six weeks until publish day and I’ve decided to rewrite the third act. Because why make it easy if you can make it difficult. Why swim if you can sink? 🙄 #WritingCommunity #booksky #amediting or rather #amwriting

What you want to avoid is making all advertising posts. Most people emotionally pull back from such accounts as they don't want to be bombarded by constant drivel and demands for money. You are your brand. Be friendly and talk about your author struggles. #writingcommunity #booksky #branding
