VIKING updates
Hi friends,
It still doesn’t feel real to say this out loud, but my debut novel Viking comes out November 20th.
This story lived in my heart for awhile before I could get it onto paper in a way that felt right. If you know me, you know Viking has lived two full lives and has been written as two completely different novels, the first of which will never see the light of day and has been permanently deleted from my laptop. It started as a single image in my mind—an F-22 Raptor—and slowly grew into a love story about resilience, forgiveness, and finding your way back home.
Viking follows a fighter pilot haunted by the one who got away. It’s a story about second chances, redemption, and the courage it takes to let yourself be loved again. There are deeply researched cockpit scenes, high-stakes emotion, and the kind of slow-burn connection that never really fades.
Writing this book was cathartic and terrifying and beautiful all at once. I’ve spent so much time learning these characters—feeling every mistake, every triumph, every tender moment between them. And now I finally get to share them with you.
If you love stories with:
- emotionally complex heroes
- second chances and unfinished business
- slow-burn chemistry
- themes of healing, home, and hope
…I think Viking might find a home in your heart, too.
Thank you for being here, for cheering me on, and for letting me chase this dream. If you’d like to support the launch, you can add Viking to your Goodreads shelf Viking: The Silent Pursuit Book One.
Viking will be available on Amazon and KU on November 20!
Here’s to falling hard, flying fast, and finding your way home. And welcome to the squadron.
Love,
Brilee
