The Eighth Lost Tale of Mercia: Canute the Viking

As a teenager, Canute struggles to find his place among differing religions. An unexpected relationship with another Jomsviking, forbidden by the Christians, may force him to choose a god. The Lost Tales are ten short stories set in Viking Age England (and related areas). They introduce the characters of the novel, "Eadric the Grasper," but each story stands alone.Slow Fall is a mystery in The Wekiwa County series. Set in the pre-Disney torpor of rural central Florida, it tells the story of an ex-Miami-cop who returns to his small-town Florida home to bury his father, an apparent suicide. Troubled by the circumstances of his father's death, he is drawn into a maelstrom of intrigue involving televangelists, drug runners, and corruption. A secret past connects the threads in a startling climax of greed, unbridled ambition, incest and death.
