Let's just say I relate to Freydis a bit more. Gudrid tends to ruminate on things, whereas Freydis just rushes right into situations. I think it's because I'm in my main characters' heads, so I'm writing men I know fit with that character-but the men, as you know, are far from perfect! I would say I love Thorfinn Karlsefni for a fave male character and probably Freydis for female in my Viking series, but don't tell Gudrid I said that! She would probably stew over that slight for weeks. I'm a little bit in love with each of my leading men (and some of the side men, like Leif Eiriksson and Snorri Thorbrandsson!). Do you have a favorite character that you've written? If so, which one and why? I read up on them and found stories of Viking women who did heroic things-one was a Christian named Gudrid, and one was a warrior named Freydis.Ģ) Well that is the coolest thing, being allegedly related to Eirik and Leif! I love both God's Daughter and Forest Child so much, but I think Forest Child is my favorite. I was interested in my Viking heritage (I'm allegedly related to Eirik the Red/Leif Eiriksson via my Norwegian blood), so I bought a copy of The Sagas of Icelanders. Heather graciously answered a few burning questions I had after reading Forest Child:ġ) What first inspired you to write inspirational Viking stories? An ingenious blend of Viking history and timeless issues of the heart still relevant today. Brimming with tension, yet laced with tenderness, this powerful saga is sure to keep you turning the pages far into the night. Here's what I had to say:įorest Child is one of the bravest works of fiction I’ve ever read. I had the privilege of reading this early and endorsing it. First, I turned in the manuscript for Free to Lean: Making Peace with Your Lopsided Life last night! Woohoo! (It releases from Discovery House in August 2017.) Second: today is RELEASE DAY for Heather Day Gilbert's amazing Viking tale, Forest Child! Find it on Amazon, BarnesandNoble, iBooks, Kobo, and Goodreads.
Friends, I am so excited for two reasons.
