Overview: I have been writing since my very early years; possibly as young as five! I have been a re-enactor and scholar of the Viking Age for around four decades now, and began writing non-fiction about it in the mid- ’90s (my first book ought to have been my PhD thesis, but never mind); when I failed to find any viking-based fiction that I could actually stand to read, I did the only logical thing and started writing my own! The Wirhalh Trilogy is the immediate result: I lived on Merseyside at the time, and found it to be a hotbed of intrigue and shifting cultural mixes all through the period.
In 2004 I moved to Orkney – and started again! Conflicting theories of Norse colonisation fed the thinking behind two more novels, and events related in OrkneyingaSaga inspired another pair; then there is the messy business of Orkney’s enforced conversion to Christianity. All grist to the mill!
Genre: Historical Fiction
01 Blood Over Birsay
Pictish Orkney is suddenly disrupted as Viking invaders threaten the royal palace at Birsay! As the king vacillates, those around him are left to work out their own responses to the attack: his bodyguard want to fight, his farmers and bondsmen just want to be protected, whilst his queen is more concerned with saving herself at any cost. Follow Cai the bristly young warrior as he struggles to find his place in this world, Morwen as she takes full advantage of her favoured status, and Urien the unwilling leader of the local farmers as they all face a destiny likely to destroy them all…
02 Asmund’s Wyrd
Change is coming…
Asmund, lard of the island of Vagr, is caught: caught in the ambitions of his neighbour, caught in the aftermath of his own son’s wild behaviour – and caught in the designs of both his Earl and a visiting would-be King! Worse than all this are the other changes these outsiders bring: a new order, a new religion and a whole new way of life in their wake – a break with the old ways that Asmund suddenly discovers he has no desire to leave behind!
