Every writer is furious to learn that our books have been stolen. I know I am. I have worked for over 30 years to develop my skills, and then for one immoral twat to steal it because he couldn't be bothered.

There is something so lovely and just so cool to see that my childhood library has ordered my latest book - and then asks me when it will come in Norwegian😊 #libraries #historicalreads

I'm super excited to share that The Silent Resistance is available on amzn.to/3W0QEqF for only 99c for the day. The story was inspired by a small change in a Norwegian law during WW2 with heartbreaking results for women and their children.

I would only read that aloud if I could sit under the table doing so. And maybe if they paid me ... 😊

Maybe it's time to start digging for ivory in the back yard. Loads of Vikings roamed Oslo, long before it was Oslo of course. It would be fasinating to find a Japanese piece made with Viking ivory. Somehow they did get around, the Vikings😆

Christina Courtenay @christinacourtenay.bsky.social · Nov 20

On the @WordWenches blog today I’m talking about the ivory trade during Viking times compared to now. They called walrus ivory "fish teeth" and they were right about the "teeth" part - not so much the "fish"!

I joined here a long time ago, apparently, I can see that from the last thing I posted. Now that I'm back, I'm finding loads of friends and new friends, and this is awesome!
Since last time I posted, I have a new book coming. It's a historical WW2 set in Norway. #historical #WW2

I read a book a day as a kid. It saved me on so many levels. I can't really claim to be much of a communicator. What goes on in my head, usually don't make it out of my mouth 😂 Intersting article, though.

I used to write six books a year, so it adds up. Not sure I can do that again. Bloody hard work and not much time for anything else. I did have to use the calculator ... 😂
