This article is right up my ally! I love Patricia Sutherland because she is my hero when it comes to piecing together history. She is on a hunch and I am on a fiction hunch. My story is hers. Her story is mine. I put my story together on this: the Vikings meet the Native American. I am passionate about the Native Americans because my hubby is one, and I am passionate about Vikings because its in my blood. I thought...wouldn't it be great to see the Vikings and Natives come together. And so this is the basis of my book.
Synopsis:
There is a clue in the hands of Derek, a boy from Liberia. He has come to America and his mother has died. Another clue lies in the hands of a Native, Philbert, who is Derek Foster dad. He finds out that his ancestor was banished from the Inuit tribe because of a bad omen. Philbert, Derek and Fiona, a foster sister, are on their way to Northern Canada. Nobody believes them and there is a curse that is about to be broken on the Beserkers, along with the underground that will be rising to take over and plunder the earth. They need to find out what the amulets means and the way to stop the bats form haunting them. Who are the bats? What do they want? And the legendary question will be answered. Did the Vikings meet the Natives? Maybe we wished we didn't ever have to know.
