Ian Sharpe was born in London, UK, and now lives in British Columbia, Canada. Having worked for the BBC, IMG, Atari and Electronic Arts, he is now CEO of a tech start up. As a child he discovered his love of books, sci-fi and sagas: devouring the works of Douglas Adams, J.R.R. Tolkien, Terry Pratchett and George MacDonald Fraser alongside Snorri Sturluson and Sigvat the Skald. He once won a prize at school for Outstanding Progress and chose a dictionary as his reward, secretly wishing it had been an Old Norse phrasebook.

Quotes by Ian Stuart Sharpe  (?)

“In Finnmǫrk, I observed young children sleeping in leather cradles, without any thing like swaddling clothes, enveloped in dried bog-moss and lined with the hair of the reindeer. In this soft and warm nest, they are protected from the most intense cold. For the longest moment, I felt transported into this land of slumber, safe and secured.”
Ian Stuart Sharpe, The All Father Paradox

“I enquired of Keskarrah concerning the food of the beaver and was told it was the bark of trees such as birch and fir. I wonder that no naturalist has classed this animal with the mouse tribe, as its broad depressed form at first sight suggested to me that it was of that family. I confirmed this opinion having examined them further with my lens: the broad naked tail, the short obtuse ears, and the two pair of parallel front teeth, so well formed for cutting.”
Ian Stuart Sharpe, The All Father Paradox

“Where did the Kristin God go?” “What?” Askr flashed him an irritated look. “It says here, in Alkuin’s letter. ‘O Lord, spare thy people and do not give the Gentiles thine inheritance, lest the heathen say, Where is the God of the Christians?’” “Who says he went anywhere? Who says he isn’t right there, in your hands? That’s the real power of the Hvíta Kristr. He is inside those pages, in every chapter and verse. Be careful because, from there, he can leap inside your mind. That’s how he works.”
Ian Stuart Sharpe, The All Father Paradox
