The Author as Museum Specimen: Here I am playing Viking at the opening of the Smithsonian Institution's traveling Viking exhibit at the Science Museum in St. Paul, Minnesota, in November, 2002. I was there with the Viking Age Club of the Sons of Norway. Hard to believe, isn't it, that this guy couldn't get a date in high school? |
This is me in Stavanger, Norway, with Erling Skjalgsson's memorial cross in the Stavanger Museum. I'm the one in the suspenders. |
At CONvergence, Bloomington, MN, July 2003: Baen "Barflies": Matt Waterhouse, Chris Runnalls, Author Michael Z. Williamson, Author Eric Flint, and some guy in a very heavy shirt. |

West Oversea: A Norse Saga of Mystery, Adventure and Faith--In the year 1001, King Olaf Trygvesson is dead, but his sister’s husband, Erling Skjalgsson, carries on his dream of a Christian Norway that preserves its traditional freedoms. Rather than do a dishonorable deed, Erling relinquishes his power and lands. He and his household board ships and sail west to find a new life with Leif Eriksson in Greenland. This voyage, though, will be longer and more dangerous than they ever imagined. It will take them to an unexplored country few Europeans had seen. Demonic forces will pursue them, but the greatest danger of all may be in a dark secret carried by Father Aillil, Erling’s Irish priest.
