Viking Story

In this week's interview I get to sit down and speak to Riccardo Polacci, another historical fiction author who sets his narratives in the Viking Age. We talk about the spiritual episode that lead to Riccardo's writing of "Born a Viking: Blót," why he chose such a young character as his protagonist and about some of the decisions he had to make when writing his novel.

There is also a healthy discussion on Old Norse and in particular some of the Old Norse vocabulary that Riccardo uses in his series.
