Yep, who would have Thort it. Tonight the Vikings. Then if we survive that, bring on the Romans. Against the might of two armies we have but a single Kane to defend ourselves. Oh din of 60,000 aid us in our battle for survival. We want no bad Loki tonight so there is only one…

This time last year, I penned my first post for this website. This time this year, one year on, and I am pleased to announce that – fanfare of trumpets – the novel is finished. Fourth time lucky. About 7,500 words over this weekend – a personal best. The final total is about…
