As a Swede I really enjoy reading about Vikings. :) What was your inspiration for the Called by the Viking series? :)
Mariah Stone
Great question, Marie! The inspiration for the Vikings came from love. (haha, can you tell I'm a romance writer? LOL)
I fell in love with my husband on the shore of a Norwegian fjord.
We were students back then, and just started dating. He organized a surprise trip to Norway. We didn't have a lot of money so we brought wine from Germany and bought Norwegian salmon in the supermarket. I remember sitting with him on a huge boulder on the fjord, just talking and so in love. The mountains were taller than the sky and the water so still the water plants didn't waver. It was breathtaking. Magical.
We had many wonderful dates since then, but if you ask me what was the most memorable date, I'd say this one.
Since I've always loved history, I started wondering who were the people back in time who lived there... And what it would be like to travel in time and well, find love.
That's how Called by a Viking series came to be :)
