Great Article on Viking Nicknames!

Hello everyone!

Check this out:

The Truth Behind Viking Nicknames

The article makes several references to the History Channel's Vikings show and its characters. Most of my Midhgardhur tales take place just a little after the time frame of the show, in the world of Midhgardhur which is like a fantasy alternate world, so a lot of the characters are the same. Ragnarr is a character in my writings (he appears peripherally in Ormsbani), and Haraldur (who is mentioned as being introduced in the upcoming season) is one of the great antagonists of The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper (and appears in "Dark Valkyrie" and "Courtship" in Tales From Midhgardhur on Channillo).

An Image of Gydha

Hello everybody,

     The evil Queen Gydha Eiriksdottir has certainly been one of the most popular, if that is the right word, of the characters in my novels and stories. She is based on a historical person (who was by no means really a damned soul reincarnated as a Dark Valkyrie) . . . here is an old artist's rendition of Gydha addressing Haraldur's men during their courtship:

This scene appears in both "Dark Valkyrie" and "Courtship" in Tales From Midhgardhur on Channillo!

Beginning work on my next Channillo story: "Courtship"

Hello everyone!

     I just thought I would mention that I have begun work on my February story for my Channillo series, Tales From Midhgardhur, to be entitled "Courtship." February seems the time for a love story of sorts, so this will be a tale of the courtship of Gydha by King Haraldur (you may already be familiar with these characters from The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper and the Channillo story "Dark Valkyrie" . . . if not, you should read up on them!). If all goes as planned, you should be able to read "Courtship" on Channillo on Monday, February 1st, 2016!

Happy Reading! Skál!
