I am grateful to the author for my copy of this book, which I won in a giveaway.   Title: Fires Burning Underground Author: Nancy McCabe Publication Info: Regal House Publishing, 2025. 146 pages. Source: Won it in a giveaway Publisher's Blurb:  It's Anny's first day of middle school and, after years of being homeschooled, her first day of public school ever. In art, Larissa asks what kind of ESP is her telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, or telekinesis? Tracy asks how she gay, straight, bi, asexual, pan, trans, or confused? And thus kicks off a school year for Anny in which she' ll navigate a path between childhood and adolescence, imagination and identity. In a year of turmoil and transition, with a new awareness of loss after the death of a friend, Anny struggles to find meaning in tragedy, to come to terms with her questions about her sexuality, and to figure out how to negotiate her own ever-shifting new friendships. And when her oldest friend's lif...

Here are the links to post #1     post #2     post #3   and post #4   of the 2-week trip, for those who want to read it in order.    We left off early on Day 6, as I headed into the Far North. Day 6 (Sept. 16): Sea Birds, Sea Stacks, and my Farthest North When I left Asbyrgi about half past 8, after my 45-minute explore of the canyon, I left the beaten track and headed for as far north as I could get. Most of the point was, in fact, just to drive the far north coast and see what it looked like. I did have a couple of goals in mind, however. First, I wanted to visit Rauthinupur, not far short of the northernmost point, and with a couple of cool seastacks notorious for the seabirds. I wasn't sure there would be birds, as late in the season as I was, but it seemed worth walking a couple of miles on a scenic coast to find out.  I came across that spit of land to climb the bluffs towards the lighthouse and the birds.     Probably at...

Here are the links to post #1     post #2     post #3     post #4    and  post # 5  of the 2-week trip, for those who want to read it in order.   This was a 2-week campervan tour of Iceland's Ring Road, in September 2025. I was going to post this sooner, but if I had there wouldn't have been any weekend post this weekend. I have to get home from my Thanksgiving travels and get some more photos edited!     Day 7 (Sept. 17): Stuthlagil Gorge, Hegnifoss, and more I started my day with a drive that took me up and over a high point of some 1400' on the way back to the Ring Road (which I left some 2 days earlier to head into the far north). That was enough to bring some flakes of snow, instead of rain, on my windshield. I pulled over to photograph the snow, with only the faintest foreboding that this might be a sign of winter (but continued gratitude that the van had a good heater, both when in motion and when parked)....
