I usually don’t promote book releases. This is an exception.
A long-time friend is finally publishing his book:
No Snakes in Iceland
Set in the wild edge of the world in the 10th century, No Snakes in Iceland is the story of Edgar, an English poet adrift in the world of his enemies, the heathen Vikings.
Though far from home and seething with bitter hate, Edgar is recruited by a strange young man to come to a farm in a far-off glacial valley-and kill a ghost. Accompanied only by his confessor Sifrid and an arrogant young monk, Edgar rides to the winter-bound farm and meets hostile fighters, outlaws, berserks, a family torn asunder by a generation of strife, and, always looming, the fearsome mound-dweller that terrorizes the farmstead by night.
No Snakes in Iceland is the story of both one man lost and lonely in the world, and of a world in the grip of supernatural forces it cannot understand.

Running In My Head 
I love the cover and write-up for this book. I also love the word “berserker”. It’s what they call the rook in the Lewis chess set and it comes in several styles. My favourite is the one where the berserker is biting his shield! I see No Snakes is available in both paperback and Kindle. Super! All the best to Mr. Poss.

Nice! He wasn’t sure when the e-book version would be available. He and I are both fans of the Lewis chess set, though only he has a physical version.

I have moulds and I make sets although I haven’t done much on that since I retired. I thought I would have more time but it seems I have less.

My mom just retired after 40+ years as an ICU nurse; now she does per diem work and says the same thing about time.

I have the book on my Kindle, it is next on my TBR. Also, DD was 6 when she saw the Lewis chessmen at the British Museum and shouted,”THOSE are the ones I want!” Good thing she’s cute; the guards don’t take kindly to statements like those around priceless artefacts.

Wow, on behalf of the author, thanks!
I ordered my paperback copy Wednesday; should have it tomorrow.

The writing is good but ach, why must he mention dansk when it would have been norsk they would have spoken? Hmmmm. But a very gripping tale so far.

However, as I cannot speak for the author, check out his Facebook page and ask away!
