Chirstmas Blog Tour - Free Books!



The Historical Writers Forum is a facebook community made up of authours working in the Historical Fiction genre. This Christmas, like last year, some of its members are collaborating in a themed approach blog hop. 

This year the theme of the blog hop is the Icelandic tradition of the Jólabókaflóðið. This began during World War II, when paper was one of the few commodities not rationed. Icelanders, being a nation of bookaholics, shared their love of books even more as other types of gifts were short supply, resulting in a flood of books at Yule, which is a rough translation of Jólabókaflóðið.

In line with this tradition, the Historical Writers will be giving away their books over the Christmas period, starting December 1. So I urge you to visit the blogs listed below on the appropriate day and see if you can win a few books.

As a writer of a series of viking novels, The Whale Road Chronicles, whose central character is an Icelander and whose action often returns to Iceland, I just had to take part. My day is the 18th, and on that day you will get the chance to win a paperback copy of the The Wolf Hunt, the latest novel in the series. It's literally hot off the presses (the release date is not until January).

Aries Fiction, the publisher of The Whale Road Chronicles, is also running a promotion on the first two books in the series, Odin's Game and The Raven Banner. From now until Christmas you can get the kindle versions for 99p.
