I am fascinated by Viking culture, history, and archeology, although I confess that Native American artifacts and objects from other ancient cultures are extremely interesting. I received both my bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in English from Penn State University and did doctoral work in English at Northwestern University. I spent thirty years teaching high-school English and also taught part time at Northwestern.

I bought and sold Viking artifacts for over a dozen years and appreciate how the Nordic culture was reflected in their crafts. I have also worked with Norsemen Saga author James L. Nelson, and have published short essays about Viking artifacts on Academia.edu.

A Pointed Dedication

The dedication that begins this novel may be of interest to the woman readers among you: "This saga of Thorkell is dedicated to all of the women who were the—literally--unsung foundation of the Norse culture during the Viking Period, and to the women of today, many of whom get little credit for their quiet importance and strength. My wife Mardell is one of those contemporary shield maidens."
