Pardon the Construction Mess

Hello everyone. Please pardon the construction mess while my site is going through a makeover. The end results will be totally worth it. My blogging routine is sure to be interrupted during this time, but please don't go away, since I will be back. Stay tuned because I shall be writing a couple of articles about revamping your web site and a list of cool and useful page widgets.

Hi Graeme, got your twitter post and then it disappeared and I couldn’t figure out how to reply, so here I am on the comment box!

Yes, I’ve written a novel based quite exclusively on the Saga of Eirik the Red and the Sagas of the Greenlanders (about Gudrid). Trying to start writing novel #2 (while waiting to get novel 1 out there).

As far as legend has it, we’re related to Eirik the Red through his son, Thorvald. My maiden name would’ve been Thorvaldsen but my great-grandfather changed it when they came to America. I wish I could figure out how to trace the family tree, but have had zero luck on that so far.

Nice to meet another writer w/Viking roots on twitter!

Your first book sounds very interesting, Heather. I’m a sucker for the Icelandic and Greenland sagas. If I recall, my namesake appears in the OrkneyInga Saga, if you’ve read that one.

It is indeed great to meet another Viking. Good luck with the second book.
