“She was a swift, small-winged dragon, silver-scaled and glittery”
A decent couple o’ paragraphs today from THE FLAME OF BATTLE, and also a bunch of pretty flowers (mine).

THE FLAME OF BATTLE will be out in May!
In the flame of battle, even the innocent get burned… Dyrfinna is a born commander. She bests her peers in dragon riding, sword fighting, and battle strategy. So when the Queen calls the people of Skala to battle to revenge her murdered daughter, Dyrfinna outfits a ship and brings a …
THE FLAME OF BATTLE, my Viking and dragons novel, is finished!
Completed the first draft of THE FLAME OF BATTLE, i.e. the epic Viking book, and it is *gulp* 91,522 words long. Here are the stats: I wrote those words (plus others) over the past 82 days, averaging 1,130 words/day, despite it being busy season at work. I have absolutely *never* …
Behind the fortifications, making a last-ditch stand
Here’s another little bit of my Viking story, THE FLAME OF BATTLE. Dyrfinna’s troops are on a little bit of mountain, which they’ve fortified against the enemy. They’re outnumbered ten to one, and Dyrfinna is waiting — hoping — for the arrival of the rest of the fleet before they …

Another bit from the Viking story
Here’s a little bit from the Viking story I’m working on. The ship that Dyrfinna is on got lost in a storm and had a hole broken into it, so they’ve landed, and the crew has a little time to wash up and eat while the ship is being repaired. …
Viking ships geekery!
Galloping along on the story (actually going back and forth on it a lot, present to past to future, as I tend to do). I have a little problem — I’m writing about Vikings and don’t know a damn thing about ships, or ocean stuff, or any of the important …
An early excerpt of the upcoming Vikings and Dragons book!
GUYS. COOL NEWS HERE. This year I’m writing a Viking series with Pauline Creeden. I’m already working on the first book. It’s going to be a trilogy, though really, I’m visualizing more of a series. We’ll see what happens. We’ll probably have a May publication date for the first one, …
