On goodreads 'The Last Viking' series averages 4.56, which as far as I can tell, is just about the highest for any historical fiction series out there. Of them all. Ever.
How do I deal with the cascade of wealth such critical success brings?
HA! that Isn't how writing works.😂

Either on Goodreads or Amazon, the reviews have been superb. I get so much joy out of reading the written ones, and just out of the overall reception.
It's really a great platform to continue doing this stupid thing that I love.

My self-pub series got only a novella, Steel in the Morning, which had arguably the best name and definately the best cover of the series so far, both slightly wasted on a novella.
Oh well! It's so pretty though.
I was, however, finishing the final book, which is out Feb 15th.

So, year in writing? in 2024 I published 2 books (target was 3).
Raven Lord and Emperor's axe, both entires in my trad pub series 'The last Viking', about the life of Harald Hardrada.
This series has been my focus for much of the last year, and I've been very happy with it.

I have zero excitement for yet another re-boot of Superman on the big screen.
But the poster is pretty dope.

Annual Vaguely Vikings authors dinner yesterday in london. Highlights were @matthewharffy.bsky.social's little face when he got biscuits with his book cover on, and me getting recognised and stopped in the street by The Failing Writers podcaster Jon Rand.
First time anyone ever did that!

My latest book and book 3 of my 'Last viking' series; Emperor's Axe, is out today. It tells the story of Harald Hardrada's most extensive and impressive military campaign.
This is a remarkable and nearly unknown story, and I think you'll love it.

I reckon if I just leave cat and sword photos lying around, my people will find me.
It's like laying a trail of breadcrumbs, but with fantasy geeks and booklovers.
Let's see how this works.
Will this work?
I think this will work. It's scientifically backed.
