Reblog: Viking Women: Not as Different as You Might Think

God's Daughter Viking historical

Today I just wanted to link you up with an older post I did for Medievalists.net, two years ago when God’s Daughter released. Find that post here.

It’s a reminder of why I set about writing the Vikings of the New World Saga. Because misconceptions about Vikings abound (they were dirty, they were nothing but murderers, and the list goes on). As I read over my reviews, I’ve been encouraged by comments like this, that tell me the novel is doing what I hoped it would do:

“So much about the story leads to thoughts on human nature in general and how some things remain the same down through history….including jealousy, greed, and superstition. On the other hand, courage, sacrifice, and love of family are highlighted as well.”~reader review

Hope you enjoy the Medievalists post and don’t forget–if you read and loved God’s Daughter, please be sure to tell your friends and leave a review! It is encouraging for me to see those positive reviews as I write Forest Child.

Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an a Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an author panel @bjuedu with authors Jamie Langston Turner and Emily Golus (@worldofvindor) with @inkwellmagazine. What a wealth of experience these talented authors brought to the table for the guests and writers who attended! Also met author @louannkeisereditor, who was a delight to speak with. Then got to hang out with my lifelong friend @rachelcohee and her husband and daughter and brunch @grandbohemianlodgegreenville at the Between the Trees restaurant. Then capped things off at a bookstore that was hopping! What a much-needed time of relaxation with my husband, who graciously schleps my book boxes and takes event photos for me!📚#authorlife #wvauthor
