Next Stop, Hollywood!

My new book Fin Gall: A Novel of Viking Age Ireland (official motto: "It has ships and swords, what's not to like?") has been immortalized by my 12-year old son Jonathan, who created a Lego depiction of the opening scene, in which the Vikings aboard the longship Red Dragon attack a small Irish ship and battle the crew to the death. In the vividly rendered recreation below, the main character, Thorgrim Night Wolf, discovers a mysterious crown aboard the Irish vessel.

Once the big-time movie producers get a sense from this layout of how visually exciting the book could be, I'm expecting the offers to come rolling in.

  2. Excellent rendition.

    The rippled sheet even looks like the storming waves, for extra dramatic effect.
