Now and through much of November, you can read excerpts from Book II of my Viking series at the Silver Dagger blog tour. Also, don't forget to enter the drawing for an Amazon gift certificate.
The Eagle's Lady continues the saga of Ari and Maeve begun in Book I, The Eagle's Woman. Here is an excerpt for you:
Hedeby, 853 A.D.
Chapter One
He was her owner who had bought her with Hedeby coin in the public market and taken her virginity not an hour later in a little house rented for the purpose. Before that, he and his Viking marauders had raided her peaceful village in Eire, stealing her from the smith she was to wed, just as his brother had then stolen her and taken her to Hedeby to sell. Maeve knew she should hate him.
Son of an impoverished, dying chieftain, he raided for booty and slaves so he could feed his people. Pagan himself, still he spared Christian priests though he sold them. He was a heathen, probably a murderer, and it was a sin to lie with him.
