About the Book

It is May 28, 1453 and Constantinople has reached the last day of its existence. Within 24 hours, the 21 year old Ottoman Turk, Sultan Mehmet II will blast through the walls of the city and the Byzantine Empire will cease to exist. Inside the palace, Leif Redbjorn, Captain of a small group of Northmen known as the Varangian Guard prepares his warriors for a final battle. The Varangian Guard has been the Empire's elite mercenary unit for over 500 years; fiercely loyal to the Emperor even unto death. These remaining few are the last of their kind. The warriors of the Varangian Guard are Northmen; mostly Vikings. Some of these Vikings are known as 'Berserkers'. In Viking battles, Berserkers were used as shock troops by the Scandinavian Kings to strike terror in the hearts of their enemies. They would consume wine or ale and work themselves into a blood lust rage or 'Odin Fury' while dancing around a bonfire. Emperor Constantine VII, The Purple Born, called it a 'Gothic Dance'. Captain Redbjorn calls his 14 year old son, Erik to his side and gives him an overwhelming task; "I have a great thing I must ask of you. Go to my chamber. Under the chest at the foot of my bed is a stone with a wolf carved into it. Pry it up and you will find a book that has been passed down through the centuries. It holds the secret of the Varangian Guard; one that was carelessly lost by our ancestors and we have been searching in vain to find it again. You must follow my instructions left within." Soon, Erik Redbjorn will find out for himself what it means to be a Varangian Guard. He will learn why hardened warriors tremble in fear when the drums begin to beat, the bonfire rages into the sky and word spreads that Berserkers are dancing...
About the Author: I was born in Michigan in the late sixties. By the mid seventies my family moved to Jacksonville (just in time to hear Skynyrd blaring out of every radio in town). I grew up right next to a shopping mall and some days when I just didn't want to go to school, I walked over to the mall and made my way to the book store. (You see the irony here?) I always gravitated to the graphic novel section and would spend hours staring at the art by Boris and Frank Frazetta. The images Frank painted of Viking Berserkers have haunted my imagination ever since. I couldn't afford the books but I guess the clerks didn't mind because I always came back to the same section of the store and they could tell that I loved looking at them so they would give me a little time before gently running me out. When Marvel came out with Wolverine, my mind was already there with the Berserkers. I am half Scandinavian (father) and half Italian (mother) and I swore that I could feel the Viking in my DNA. I am a long suffering fan of the Genre, and now after so many years this story is simply pouring out of me. When I wrote Dance of the Berserkers, the story would continue on in my head as if it was going to leave me behind if I didn't write it down. After a while I realized that I really had no choice in the matter. Dance of the Berserkers was in charge, not me. There is more to come. This is just the beginning of the saga. Trust me, I don't think I have a choice in the matter. The Berserker is pacing back and forth in my imagination and he grows impatient...
