It's lovely to meet you here too, Martin. Thanks for your friendship. I love English history so will look for your books.

Hi Robin,
To be honest I've only read a few pages of The Long Ships. It's one of my all time-favourite books and I want a period of uninterrupted time to give it my full attention. I've got friends and family staying for much of May so it will probably be June now.
I can say that I think it is one of my favourite novels. As a child I loved Henry Treece's Viking trilogy - this is better and for grown-ups.
Hi, Martin, Thanks for friending me! I see you are reading The Long ShipsThe Long Ships and am curious to know what you think of it!
It's always good to be connected to another writer of historical fiction. Good luck with your writing!
