The Viking Man - a dreamboat?
Recently, I have come to suspect that many people up here in the cold grey north are overdosing on "Vikings". For those of you that don't know, this is a TV series (deliciously full of historical errors) starring Travis Fimmel as Ragnar Lodbroke (Ragnar Hairy-Breeches - wonderful name). Now, it is as obvious as the day is bright why the female population can't get enough of Travis (a younger, edgier version of Brad Pitt.

In the numbers
Reblogged from Brewer's Cauldron:
I have always been interested in all things mystical. Tarot, numerology, astrology, palmistry... In the hands of a skilled reader and insightful interpreter, they can each offer a fascinating way to look at yourself. I have had several such readings from several different sources. I initially approached the exercise as a skeptic, but I was surprised at how accurate and helpful my readings have been.

ELITE WARRIORS OF HISTORY: THE JOMSVIKINGS
Reblogged from The Deadliest Blogger: Military History Page:
Founded in the late 10th century, the Jomsvikings were a Scandinavian warrior-brotherhood, based at Jomsborg, a fortress on the southern Baltic shore (likely near modern Wollin, in German Pomerania). Their origins are shaded in fable and obscured by conflicting sources.
One source states that this Brotherhood was established and patronized by the Danish king, Harald Bluetooth. That he granted their leadership to…
Vampire Syndrome Sells Out?
Reblogged from Vampire Syndrome Blog:
Well, folks, I've made the big commitment.
The entire Vampire Syndrome saga (the three main books, short stories, etc.) is now contracted to PDMI Publishing LLC.
Next year is the time for PDMI and "Vampire Syndrome" to Rock And Roll.
The risks are big, but so are the rewards.
I couldn't be happier to be signed with a publisher on the right path of expansion, ready to reap the rewards of the Big Five's ever-increasing weaknesses regarding new/midlist authors,...
