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!
