Several characters in Norse Hearts became reader favorites, including Alfgrimr, the Viking assassin. His story will be told in Assassin Hearts, the project I am working on now.

A quiet house, a cup of coffee, and instrumental music on the subject I plan on writing. Or, a visit to the local Starbucks and watching people interact.

Long ago, I read a historical romance by Kathleen Woodiwiss. I had always had an interest in the Viking era and the idea began to percolate that I could write a romance about that era. Through the years when different popped into my head I would write it down on any scrap of paper I could find. After retiring, I started working on my dream of writing. After producing a few books on what I knew, I decided it was finally time to attempt my final bucket list item. Write a Viking historical romance!
