The Bear's Blade - Out on April 7!

Einar, son of Thorfinn the skull cleaver, sets sail on his 5th adventure on April 7. The e-book of The Bear's Blade will be available from all the usual outlets form that day, with the paperback edition to follow in July.


Einar must take back control of his destiny in this thrilling Viking adventure.

How do you defeat the undefeatable?

935 AD, Norway. Recovering from horrendous injuries, Einar finds himself unable to fight. He is not strong enough to defeat his rival, Eirik, who has seized Orkney despite Einar being the rightful Jarl.

Eirik's men soon raid the Norwegian coast, led by a warrior called the Bear. Cruel and ferocious, the Bear possesses a legendary blade – one that gives him a skill in battle that cannot be matched. Such an extraordinary sword could be key to Einar's plans – but first he and the Wolf Coats must contend with the Bear himself.

Caught between old foes and new ones, Einar must use all his wits to survive. But is a man who cannot wield a sword capable of being a true Viking warrior?

As with the previous books of this series, The Bear’s Blade is another compulsive read. As I read each page, I found it very difficult to put down. I would highly recommend the whole series and hope that the next installment will be available in the not too diisgant future.

I am on book four of the Whale Road and quite enjoying it apart from one major problem. Like many authors publishing on Amazon Tim puts in details to build the atmosphere without any real understanding or knowledge of what he is writing. Given his academic background I would have thought he would have visited the area, if only for a few weeks summer holiday.

There is a nice description of the mid summer fire festival in Orkney set in the dark followed by the jarl making his way down the hill and riding slower than he wanted to in order to avoid the horses falling in the dark.

This is one really big blunder.

For four or five weeks around midsummer it does not get dark in Orkney. The sun just dips a bit below the horizon in the NW for a while before rising in the NE, giving a bright twilight in between. Likewise in Norway it stays light across mid-summer, the duration of the twilight nights increasing the further north you go. In Shetland (around the latitude of Bergen) this twilight is called the "Simmer Dim" and lasts for nearly three months without any real darkness.

I used to enjoy taking visitors to the Ring of Brodgar and Stones of Stenness in Orkney across midnight at that time of year as it was light enough to see clearly and the cool calm air had a magical quality.
