Last night... in one of my crazy weird dreams, I happened to meet @christuckley.bsky.social who confirmed that he is reviving the much missed That Jorvik Viking Thing Podcast, and I gave him some guest recommendations. I awoke both happy and sad, and a small voice saying "You should host it Becky."

As a reward to myself I'm taking advantage of the most serendipitous opportunity to go see Wagner's #TheValkyrie performed by the Royal British Opera, at the Royal Opera House, streamed LIVE to my local Odeon cinema. Wagner or more accurately costume designer Doepler are responsible for a LOT.

Proud to announce that aptly on Tyrs-Day I submitted my final finished version of my academic debut article. It's taken a lot of personal determination, generous feedback from academic friends, and been 10x harder than writing the abstract or presentation. But I'm proud of it and of me. Now to relax

A few weeks ago, a few great friends and I celebrated the launch of my debut historical fiction RAN'S DAUGHTERS! It was an incredible evening. There was a Q&A, a reading & signing, along with snacks, drinks, laughs, and good chats. And of course, the book! I am so grateful. My heart is full!

Thanks to a chance discovery of Valkyries being featured in @historytoday.com Medieval World special edition, I ordered myself a copy and was then delighted to see it's an article written by my Stavanger acquaintance, Johanna Katrin Fridriksdottir, author of "Valkyrie: Women of the Viking World".

Been a whirlwind of action, drama and emotion for me playing Dungeons and Dragons lately... After playing for about 4 years consecutively, since lockdown eased and when Nim was small, as a player I'm finally facing the prospect of a character dying. It's a tad daunting but also exciting.

I'm other new, the Norns who control the strange Algorithms of social media also led me to discovering the artist Johan Egerkran who illustrated the Vaesen ttrpg but also did a striking collection on Norse Gods. So I have paid more Danegeld and wait to add it to my hoard of Norse Myth books.

Thanks to my main job managing journal subscriptions, I have discovered by good fortune and chance that SOMEONE ELSE HAS RESEARCHED AND WRITTEN ABOUT VALKYRIES!

Who knew bring a nordic fighter, fierce and fearless, wielding an axe that ignites when she whispers "Ragnarok" - could be sooooooo much fun! Plus she looks EPIC if I do say so myself hehehe. My weekly #DnD game with @wayneingram.bsky.social is a real tonic for my heart and mind.

Did you know that if you request Canadian author's books at Canadian libraries, we get paid for them being on the shelf? Not just the purchase price. Every year it's on a shelf, we get a cheque in the mail. More books on shelves = more money for the author per year!

Had a really fun chat with @vikingverse.bsky.social last night about What If scenarios, Old Norse language, how to manage a role play game when players keep dying, and a very enlightening discussion about how the gaps in Norse Mythology are a bane and boon for us as creative interpreters.

Late #viking age gold pendant from Sigtuna, Uppland (Swe). Small, ca. 2,8 x 2,2 cm in size. The upper part has a cylindrical hole for the string, and the lower part is shaped like a bird's head with two round eyes. Later nicknamed the “raven Mjölnir“. #medievalsky #vikingsky
