The stories relate a brief moment in the daily life, often revealing curious characters or intriguing situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book is the outcome of a year-long writing project where the author published an illustrated flash-fiction piece every week throughout the year of 2017. Each story was illustrated by the author and posted online in English, Icelandic and Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIt was an intense and, at times, stressful year with the pressure to producing a story every week, together with a two translations and an illustration. All that on top of my full-time job. There were weeks of calm where I had a list of stories lined up for the following month or two, but there were also a couple weekends where I would be frantically trying to think of a story just-in-time for the following week. The project took me out of my comfort zone, but was a great experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Paperbacks and e-books<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div
