Bruce Macbain: Saddle Sores: my day on an Icelandic horse

http://brucemacbain.blogspot.com/2015/05/saddle-sores-my-day-on-icelandic-horse_50.html

Saturday, May 16, 2015. Saddle Sores: my day on an Icelandic horse. In Odin’s Child. Chapter one) Odd Tangle-Hair and his brother bring their black stallion to a horse fight—a popular entertainment among Viking-age Icelanders. When I visited Iceland, I convinced myself that if a writer is setting his story in a period where people traveled on horseback, then you have to do. For the all-day trek—a morning and afternoon session, punctuated by a delicious lunch (price included) of all the roast lamb y...

Bruce Macbain: May 2015

http://brucemacbain.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 29, 2015. At the beginning of Odin’s Child. Odd Tangle-Hair, the story’s narrator, tells us how Iceland adopted Christianity in the year one thousand. To avoid civil war between believers in the old religion and the new Christian converts, it was decided at the Althing that. Year that one respected old chieftain would decide for all, and his decision would be binding on all. The doom of the gods—in a howling torrent of words. My mother believed in him, and she was a good woman. Not quite, it ...

Bruce spends his spare time in the kitchen, cooking spicy food. AUTHOR Q and A. You have an academic background. Yes, I have degrees in Classics and Ancient History from the University of Pennsylvania and I taught those subjects at Vanderbilt and at Boston University. So you've written both scholarly prose and fiction; which is harder? When you write fiction is your "inner academic" ever at war with your "inner novelist"? Then what do you think is the historical novelist's responsibility to the reader?

And right up through Ridley Scott's Gladiator. Does Hollywood get the Romans right? You have spent many years with the Romans both as scholar and author; do you like them?

Elcome. If you love history, mystery and adventure, and if the clash of cultures and religions interests you, you’re in the right place. In my Roman mysteries. Pliny the Younger and his sidekicks, Martial and Suetonius, tackle crimes in which some alien cult always lies at the bottom of things. In my Viking Age adventure novels. Our hero, Odd Tangle-Hair, struggles to retain his father’s heathen beliefs in a changing world, as he makes his tumultuous way from Iceland to far-off Byzantium and home again.
