I'm not going to say a lot right now - only that I moved back home to Rhode Island a few months back, and having settled in, I feel like I might be able to get back to productive writing fairly soon. So . . . watch this space for updates as they become available!

Apocalypsis Lyndisfarnensis and Other Works Forthcoming
Hello everyone,
It has been far too long since I published an update! Since my last update, I had my little kids (now 7 and almost 6) home for a summer, took a new teaching job, endured a hospitalization and long recovery, and survived a global pandemic (so far, anyway!) - so much going on, and so little of it writing!
So what changed today? Well, I give full credit to Ann Livi Andrews from SIA (Support Independent Authors), who e-mailed me today about SIA's latest short story contest. As you may know if you've been following my writing, I am a previous winner of an SIA short story contests (with the story "Remember!"); and the new contest. with the theme of Apocalypse (gee, thanks, 2020!) intersects neatly with an idea I had been kicking around for a story based on the Viking raid on Lindisfarne in 793 C.E. So I sat down and started pounding the keyboard, and a few hours later, the story I had been meaning to write emerged.
So for the first time in far too long, I have a new story up on Tales From Midhgardhur on Channillo: "Apocalypsis Lyndisfarnensis" is a Midhgardhur take on the apocalypse that befell the priory of Lindisfarne in what was probably the summer of 793 C.E. (yes, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle says January, but the leading theory is that Ian. was a mistake for Iun. (June). Not an apocalypse like zombies in a movie or TV show, or even like Covid-19 in real life, but the end of the world for those poor monks! So I hope you enjoy this first take on a Midhgardhur apocalypse. There may be others forthcoming (I may have other ideas kicking around, and there is no limit on entering the SIA contest!), but I am proud of this first entry!
What else is coming? Well, expect to see another story relatively soon about Hrafn the runecaster, and I hope to get back to other stories planned but not written (like the Runestones of Rys stories).
Happy Reading! Skál!

Audiobook and Coming Soon . . .
Hello all,
I've been listening to a lot of audiobooks lately, and it feels like it's a great time to remind people that you can listen to some of my stories on audiobook! “Tales from Midhgardhur, Volume I,” is on audiobook from Audible or iTunes! Norse fantasy short stories featuring Vikings, Shieldmaidens, Runecasters, and Dragons . . .
Also, I've finally been tinkering with some new stuff for Tales From Midhgardhur on Channillo, and a new story should be coming by mid-February! Be on the lookout!
Cheers!
