One of the most difficult and challenging parts of this story was combining three different languages, Old Norse, English, and American. For Old Norse I was able to find some online translators and dictionaries, and occasionally faked it with some Icelandic. Sorry if you actually read Old Norse and find my mistakes. I don't plan to rewrite it. As for English versus American, both George Bernard Shaw and Henry Higgins had much to say about the differences in the languages. I had some Englishmen edit that, and they pointed out some errors and I changed them. More on my great editors in the future. I can't write without them!
As for those who find the different languages distracting, just as many have found it interesting and informative. Too late to change now.
Many thanks to those who have already purchased the entire story. As I have mentioned before, I never actually see the money. It goes straight from PayPal to a checking account - and only my wife has the checkbook! Occasionally, she gets on my case about playing on the computer when I could be doing chores for her, and I just let her know what is happening to that bank account. Her usual response to that is 'Good boy!' and she stops bugging me.
For those curious, my standard publishing schedule is Tuesday and Friday. No begging. Sorry. If you find any typos/errors, please let me know. Any mistakes will be fixed, and a final corrected version will be uploaded to bookapy and elsewhere. As before, if you have purchased a copy through bookapy, you will be able to download a corrected version later.
Thanks.
