Mad Musings
A month or two ago I started a humble blog on my author website. On it, I dig into some interesting tidbits of history that may or may not have ever make it into any of my novels.
The latest one is on torture, mutilation, cannibalism among the North American tribesmen in colonial times and beyond.
If you are interested in reading my little mad musings, you can find them here:

| Really appreciated this book and the brief history of 20th Century Christianity in the U.S. Nice job at diagnosing where we may have gone of the rails a few times, setting up the current trajectory. Last chapter offered several options/solutions for ...more | |
“The following spring was a time of calving. Great icebergs calved from the vast glaciers which stretched down to our fjords from distant mountains. The heifers and cows of Kaupangen gave birth to over one hundred calves that spring. Most survived. Gudrod, the master shepherd, had seventy-five new lambkins skipping after their mothers. Ten sets of lamb twins were born in the city that year. Bitches had pups suckling at their breasts. The mountain goats that stood watch over the fjord, indifferently chewing on the wild grasses between the rocks, had kids following them on their steep paths. The residents of the city, too, gave birth. Twenty-one new healthy babies were born within thirty days of the spring equinox; boys and girls with thick blonde, brown, black, or red hair; others with smooth bald heads. Olaf, my third father, my king, had a son, stillborn. Olaf wept. Kenna wept. I wept as the boy was buried inside the casket with his mother in our graveyard by the church.”

Stephanie wrote: "Thank you for your friendship! I love, love Historical Fiction! My passion besides my art. :)"Stephanie! - Thank you. Hope you get a chance to read The Norseman. I wrote it for a male audience, but it turns out that ladies like it. One more indication that I'll never quite get the pulse of female folk.
