Welcome, I'm Lars Walker, fantasy author (Lars Rhymes With Farce, Not Cars ). Welcome to my website, where you can learn all I choose to tell you about myself and my books. I'm the author of West Oversea, The Year of the Warrior, Blood and Judgement, Wolf Time, Erling's Word, and my latest novel, Troll Valley. Get a taste for these novels on the books page.

Terrific historic fantasy novelsI can tell you are a discerning reader. That's the reason I can recommend Troll Valley, my latest book, as your next great read. It's the fairy tale your grandparents never told you. Your childhood has been shafted until you read this book set in 1900 southeastern Minnesota. It follows Chris Anderson, who is a unusual farmer's son. For one thing, he has a deformed arm. For another, he has a fairy godmother (not the Disney kind). He's also bedeviled by apparitions--red, pointed Norwegian caps which dance around him on the ground when he allows himself to get angry (for which reason he always stuffs his feelings. Sort of the perfect Norwegian).
Troll Valley is your next great read. Buy it through Lulu.com or look for it in the iBookstore, B&N, or Amazon. Of course, these other titles are good alternatives.
The good people at Baen Books are selling four of my e-books at a great price. Buy them here, and consider giving them as gifts to your discerning family and friends for whatever holiday is just around the corner. Late Christmas presents are always welcome, and don't forget gifts for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, various parent days, birthdays, U.S. congressional holidays, Norwegian Constitution Day, and tomorrow--all great days for giving.
Baen is making Wolf Time available free in ebook here. You may also buy my books in print from various sellers through Amazon.
About LarsQ: Your Erling books concern an Irishman living in Norway. You have an Irish last name, so I assume your heritage is Irish-Norwegian. Right?
A: Wrong. One of my Norwegian great-grandfathers took the name Walker more or less at random after arriving in America (which was rather courageous of him, considering he couldn't even pronounce the letter “W”). I confess to being a quarter Dane though.
