Northmen, Shape
Shifters and Romance
The Vikings are among the most fascinating warriors in
history. Their legends and lore are filled with action, adventure and the
supernatural.
In my book Northman’s Pleasure, the hero Grim Hammerhand is
rumored to be a shape shifter with the ability to change into a wolf during
battle. Wolves and shape shifters have appeared in several Viking legends.
In Norse mythology, two wolves chased the sun and moon across
the sky, eventually devouring them. The god Loki was said to be a shape
shifter. He also fathered the giant wolf Fenrir. Some warriors, called
berserkers, went into a battle frenzy during which they fought in a blind rage.
They were said to wear the skins of animals, such as wolves. It was thought
that some changed into actual beasts during battle.
Although these particular shape shifters had frightening
reputations, they’re still intriguing. As a romance writer I couldn’t help
thinking that such a character would make a great villain, but an even better
hero. A man believed to have the power to change into a wolf would no doubt
command fear and respect, but also arouse the curiosity of those willing to
look deeper into his heart.
Of course according to the legends compassion for a shifter
or beast would only end in disaster. In a world where winters were hard and
food often scarce, wolves and man were no doubt natural enemies. Or were they?
The god Odin kept wolves. To Vikings, wolves seemed to be a symbol of prowess
and ferocity, creatures both feared and admired.
Is it possible that like people, wolves and shifters are
capable of both good and evil? If so, a man who is said to have the power to
shift, who is rumored to be part human and part animal, offers endless
possibilities as a hero--or antihero--of a romance.

Northman’s Pleasure
Legend is Grim Hammerhand is half wolf. Vowing never to
marry, the muscular, red-haired warrior saves his passion for the battlefield
and the forge. That is, until the woman he secretly lusts after is abducted.
Asgerd has loved Grim for years, only to be ignored by the
object of her desire. She has eluded the bonds of marriage, hoping that someday
Grim will notice her, but her dreams are shattered when she is captured and
defiled by the brutal warrior Stein.
After the king sends Grim to rescue his daughter and claim
Stein's land, the passion between the couple finally ignites. In the end,
Grim's mistrust of all women could destroy their one true chance for happiness.
Northman’s Pleasure is available from Ellora’s Cave on
