My blog was down for some two weeks, but now they finally repaired it! Some background for my latest Dome of Souls novel Dust and Glory :-) https://juka-productions.com/newblog/2022/06/18/dust-and-glory/

Dust and Glory | Regina Glei's Blog Dust and Glory Posted on June 18, 2022 by Regina And another one done! I had thought the sixth Dome of Souls novel would be the last, but, as you can guess from this formulation, it isn’t! The “end” of number 6 just screamed for a number 7, which I have already written (third draft status or s...

Tonight's glorious sunset came just right for the publication of Dust and Glory, the sixth Dome of Souls novel. Available on kindle and as a paperback. As soon as my blog is up and running again (it crashed Saturday...) there will be some more story behind the book too! https://www.amazon.com/Dust-Glory-Sixth-Souls-Novel-ebook/dp/B0B4G531S6/

So! I'm still at it. To bake this takes a little longer than a cake. Cover reveal of the next Dome of Souls novel. There shall be Dust and Glory!

Backwahn is a nice thing to have ;-) http://juka-productions.com/newblog/2021/11/07/backwahn/

Backwahn | Regina Glei's Blog Backwahn Posted on November 7, 2021 by Regina Backwahn is not proper German, but the nice thing about the German language is that you can create new words by just connecting nouns 😉 The literal translation of Backwahn is baking mania 😉 (for Germans of a certain age Backwahn reminds of Bhagwan,...

Last part of my reports on Rebun and Rishiri islands :-) http://juka-productions.com/newblog/2021/10/17/rishirifuji/

Rishirifuji | Regina Glei's Blog Rishirifuji Posted on October 17, 2021 by Regina On my last full day of adventures, I borrowed a bicycle in the morning and pushed it up Rishirifuji for about 6 km and 500 meters of elevation to a viewing platform called Mikaeridai. Despite the fantastic weather there were a few clouds clinging to R...

Next stop: Rishiri island http://juka-productions.com/newblog/2021/10/10/off-to-rishiri/

Off to Rishiri | Regina Glei's Blog Off to Rishiri Posted on October 10, 2021 by Regina I had a rather quiet day on Tuesday the 10th of August. Luckily I went to the Jijouiwa rock pillar the day before, because in the morning the weather was really nasty with rain added to the crazy wind. I only went to the supermarket and back to the...

Windy days on Rebun Island http://juka-productions.com/newblog/2021/10/03/windy-rocks/

Windy Rocks | Regina Glei's Blog Windy Rocks Posted on October 3, 2021 by Regina Since the weather forecast for Tuesday promised even worse conditions than Monday, I decided to try to risk it and catch the bus to the southern end of the island. Monday forecast: very windy, few rain, Tuesday forecast, very windy, lots of rain. The b...

Stormy Days at Rebun Island | Regina Glei's Blog Stormy Days at Rebun Island Posted on September 26, 2021 by Regina Wind and rain continued throughout the night and early morning.

The quiet before the storm on Rebun island :-) http://juka-productions.com/newblog/2021/09/19/cape-gorota-and-heat/

Cape Gorota and Heat | Regina Glei's Blog Cape Gorota and Heat Posted on September 19, 2021 by Regina They predicted a change in weather for Saturday evening and I wanted to make use of the fine weather in the morning and took the bicycle again to Cape Gorota for a “revenge”, since I didn’t manage to climb it the first time due to rai...

Around the "peach rock" in the clouds :-) http://juka-productions.com/newblog/2021/09/12/momoiwa-trail/

Momoiwa Trail | Regina Glei's Blog Momoiwa Trail Posted on September 12, 2021 by Regina There are public buses on Rebun island (running around five times a day) and I wanted to go to the south of the island also and took a bus to the main town of Kafuka.

Undergrowth and Seals | Regina Glei's Blog Undergrowth and Seals Posted on September 5, 2021 by Regina Inspired by the two hour hiking from the day before, I thought I’d tackle the highest hill of Rebun island, which is just shy of 500 meters tall. It has an official hiking trail to it. I rode the bicycle for six km to the entry point but ...

More pictures than words in this blog entry, but the landscape is so beautiful it needs its own entry ;-) http://juka-productions.com/newblog/2021/08/29/cape-sukai-and-wilderness/

Cape Sukai and Wilderness | Regina Glei's Blog Cape Sukai and Wilderness Posted on August 29, 2021 by Regina Not many words today, but more pictures 😉 On the second day I bicycled to the next cape, Cape Sukai, which has a viewing platform showing this magnificent view with cape Gorota in the distance.

Off to Rebun Island | Regina Glei's Blog Off to Rebun Island Posted on August 22, 2021 by Regina The boat ride to Rebun the next day was smooth despite the not so good weather, since the boat was going west together with the wind and the waves that day. The ferry has space for a few hundred people but only a few dozen were on board. I spen...

The first of a few posts about my summer holidays 2021 :-) http://juka-productions.com/newblog/2021/08/15/to-go-or-not-to-go/

To Go or Not to Go | Regina Glei's Blog To Go or Not to Go Posted on August 15, 2021 by Regina To go on vacation or not that is the question. At least during a pandemic. In summer 2020 I was thinking I could go to Germany in summer 2021. Around winter 2020 it became apparent that this would not work, since Japan wasn’t quick enough with...

The phantom games are in full swing now! And I had the honor to get interviewed too 😉 http://johnpaulcatton.com/2021/07/excalibur-author-interview-regina-glei/

Go to museums 😉 that’s what I did on the 5th of May when it rained without pause. I went to three museum, which all deal with the Ise shrines in one way or the other. The main museum is the Jingu museum which ...

Went from Ise to Kashikojima during my golden week trip :-) http://juka-productions.com/newblog/2021/05/30/a-trip-to-ago-bay/

A Trip to Ago Bay | Regina Glei's Blog A Trip to Ago Bay Posted on May 30, 2021 by Regina About an hour by local train from Ise lies the Ago bay. A natural bay with dozens, if not hundreds of small islands and rocks studded all around it. The local train got emptier and emptier and by the time I arrived at the last stop called Kashikojim...

So! I've actually been publishing stuff under a pseudonym ;-) It's been a fun experience, but to maintain two author personalities, my own and the one of Julius, is a too hard endeavor while having a demanding full time day job. Here is a new baby - coming out soon.

Next to Ise lies Toba, where I spent a great day during golden week holidays :-) http://juka-productions.com/newblog/2021/05/23/a-trip-to-toba/

A Trip to Toba | Regina Glei's Blog A Trip to Toba Posted on May 23, 2021 by Regina I rode the train to Toba on my third day at Ise. It’s only a twenty minute ride from Ise and there are two trains per hour. Toba is a resort town with plenty of old fashioned hotels overlooking the many bays and corners that frame the sea. Mikimoto i...

Fujimania Part 2 | Regina Glei's Blog Fujimania Part 2 Posted on April 17, 2021 by Regina There are five lakes around Fujisan and in the morning of my return day, I rode with a bus to the neighboring lake called Saiko (which simply means “west lake”), to a traditional reed roof houses village with Fujisan views.

I am suffering now from a case of Fujimania ;-) http://juka-productions.com/newblog/2021/04/10/fujimania-part-1/

Fujimania Part 1 | Regina Glei's Blog Fujimania Part 1 Posted on April 10, 2021 by Regina Since I, for the first time ever, had some holidays left that I had to take until the end of March, I took two days off and wondered what to do with them.

Ten Years Later | Regina Glei's Blog Ten Years Later Posted on March 7, 2021 by Regina I cannot believe that it’s already ten years since the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.
