John Snow is the author of "The Slayer Rune", a historical action-adventure novel from the Viking Age with Sigve the Awful as the main character. "The Slayer Rune" is the first book in "The Viking Series". John lives in Norway with his wife and two sons. He has a deep interest in literature and mythology, especially Norse mythology, and in Viking history. One day, when his wife watched him sitting among his books and computers, she asked why he didn't write a Viking story. "If you find a good pen-name, I will," he said. Other books in the series are "The Lethal Oath", "The Red Gold", "The Bitch Queen" and "The Viking War".
