Hello, guys! 2021 has been a very productive and life-changing year for me. Among many other things, I was finally able to finish the book I've been working on since late 2019 - the Viking x Christian Historical Fiction, "Notes of Oisin: From an Irish Monk to a Skaldic Poet"! Starting today, you can pre-order the ebook on amazon.com!
The story retells of a young Irish monk, Oisin, falling as a captive to the Norse raiders, which sets him on a great journey of self-growth and transformation from a boy to a man. It is written in the form of a diary.
"Notes of Oisin" belongs to the same series as the book I published in late 2016, "Barbarian", which, on its part, retold the story of King Alaric I of the Visigoths and the childhood of the Roman centurion Aetius, famous for vanquishing Attila the Hun on the fields of Châlons. This entire series was inspired by the myths and legends of the Germanic peoples, which fascinated me since my young years and still remain some of my favourites.
See the complete description of "Notes of Oisin" below:
"A 15 years old Irish monk, Oisin, lives a pious life in a monastery close to the city of Dublin, and, in his free time, writes down some notes in his diary, describing his daily life.
Oisin is quite different from the rest of his brethren. He has learned the Norse language from his mother who was once a captive in the far North, and, unlike many Irishmen, who despise the Norsemen for their pagan brutality, he is fascinated by the Norse language and poetry. He even composes little verses in Norse from time to time, albeit only as a hobby, for he has already accepted the life of a monk and spends most of the days following the strict monastery code.
Everything changes, however, when the Northern raiders anchor at their shores."

Don't forget to pre-order the book and leave a review on either Amazon or Goodreads - it really helps! The book will officially be out on December 15 - the date that will mark my 8-year writing career! (My first-ever ebook, "The Young Pirate" - was published on December 15, 2013).
Thank you all for supporting me throughout all these years, and I hope you will enjoy the new book! More surprises will be coming up later this year and the next! I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
