Thankfully, I didn't have 1 case of 'writers block,' since I found there was much to write about.

What a source of untold riches for a fertile imagination to mine! I voraciously gobble up anything from the dark ages and medieval times that build on what little facts are availbale. I appreciate that it takes a true storyteller to relate and embellish the 'what ifs' of those eras. Thanks so much for bringing such a fascinating read to my attention.<br /><br />ilookfamous at yahoo dot comilookfamoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10966800447797199365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-84046267934475696862014-04-15T10:02:11.479-04:002014-04-15T10:02:11.479-04:00Hi Again Jen!

I always enjoy books that allow the reader to immerse themselves into the story. <br /><br />Jen, I love that you were able to create this from a character found in Egil's Saga.
