Amazon reviews have now hit 21

In blackjack, 21 is king. Hope the same is true for me now that I have gotten 21 great reviews on Amazon. One can dream, right?

Is Hekla getting ready to erupt?

Published a letter on March 26 in Iceland Review about the possible awakening of Mount Hekla, Iceland's "queen" of volcanoes. Called The Gate to Hell by others. Hekla is the volcano featured in Life Erupted so I'm taking a very keen interest in things.
