Have you ever eaten like a '#viking'? I tried for a week, following sagas, archaeology, and indications. It was a blast to try and recreate what you might have eaten during the Viking Age

Finally watched the Outlander movie, at the recommendation of my dad. A crossover of sci-fi and historical fiction, entertaining ✅️ any historical accuracy ❌️ but still enjoyable.

Day 31 #HistFicMay
I'm working on a linked book to the Viking Trading Lands focused on a central character to Serve the Worthy. It's dramatic, scheming, a bit of romance, some Viking Age magic/prophecy, and a whole lot of suspense and the beginning of a new duology.

Day 30 #HistFicMay
What's on my TBR.
I've got Demi Winter's The Ashen Series on my next library loan. Hopefully, it will have enough Viking vibes for me.
I love historical fiction, preferably a slower pace with world building complex characters and historical accuracy. Got anything that fits?

Day 29 of #HistFicMay
When do I prefer to write.
I'm 100% a morning gal. I'm the most productive. However I am also a mum, with a busy house and its often not possible, so I've taken to writing in the evening, in between tasks- whenever I can.
