I have taken a pledge to not spam readers on Goodreads. I've had discussions with many readers who have been irritated by the proliferation of the over-eager marketing efforts of Goodreads authors, and am concerned about this phenomena is contributing to creating an unwelcoming environment. This can't be good for either readers OR writers. If you are a reader concerned about author spam, please know that you won't be getting any from me. I encourage other writers to join me in making this NO SPAM pledge. With that in mind, here's my bio: I love to write (and read!) about Scandinavian history, especially during the early middle ages. Yes, that means vikings. I grew up in Florida, and have recently returned to the state to live. I used to be a statistician, but now am pursuing writing fiction full-time. I'm working on several projects concurrently. At World's Edge is a novel about a 15-year-old girl living in tenth century Greenland. My short story, Tyrker's Tale, is available on Amazon for the Kindle (and can also be read on Kindle for PC, Mac or many smart phones). It's the story of Tyrker, a thrall belonging to Eirik the Red, and how he came to serve Eirik's son Leif. I always welcome comments or questions about my work.
