Member Since
April 2023


Amateur writer, singer-songwriter, and linguist.

Whether I write in English or Danish, I write in a raw, direct style inspired by authors like Hemingway and Hamsun. I know these guys aren't the best role models (perhaps not even decent ones), but I'm in love with the way they write. I hate purple prose and have no patience for it.

My favorite authors have been lost to time; they are the ones who wrote Beowulf, The Odyssey, Hávamál, and other great epics and folk tales that have lasted the test of time. My writing is very similar in spirit to those works but written in a way that a modern audience would enjoy.

I have a strong, self-sustaining love for language. Danish and English are the only two languages I can comfortably say I speak.

Hey Billy,

Thanks for your interest; it means a lot to me! I'll make sure to get a physical copy available and let you know once I've done so. Amazon makes this pretty painless so a print option should be available in a day or two.

Solveg's Songs: Dóttir Fenris

Introduction
In this series of posts, I will explain the various Old Norse poems that Solveg uses throughout "Wolf on the Fells". I purposefully didn't translate them to create mystery and suspense where only after the songs had been sung does the audience know what they do. This series is for those interested in understanding what the poems mean. Enjoy!

Holger Drachmann
“...han nu ansaa Amerika for det eneste Land paa Jorden, hvor det var værd at eksistere, det eneste Sted, hvor man efter hans egne Ord "kunde leve akkurat som man lystede, og tjene flere Penge, end Præsterne kunde sluge ved Begravelsen.”

“Hvad enten man i mange punkter deler mit syn eller ikke, om jeg end ikke finder alt bestaaende saare godt, og selv om jeg skulde vise den svaghed at føle sorg over et synkende folk, som kanske ikke staar til at redde, da det allerede er stukket af vor civilisations giftige braad, saa trøster jeg mig med, at det ikke kan forværre dette folks kaar, og haaber, man vil opfatte mine bemerkninger i samme aand, som de er skrevne.”
