Axe
versus whale rib. Sword versus blubber. “Showdown at the Strand” is a
retelling of one of the Icelandic sagas using American Western motifs. I
wrote this story in honor of the heritage of my Icelandic
horse Blessi. I planned to re-enact hunting stranded whales in
Iceland by horseback around 1020 AD in a Society for Creative
Anachronism event. But something happened so I wrote
this story instead.
Chris
Herron created an amazing podcast out of this story. You can listen to
the whale of a tale at Tall Tales TV, which was one of the finalists for a
2018 Parsec Award.
In Greek mythology, Pegasus was the horse of the Muses. Why can't a horse be a muse for a modern writer? My passion is writing about history, horses, and humor often featuring my Icelandic horse Blessi. My non-fiction articles have been published in multiple magazines and several countries. I am writing a book titled Rough Riding Through the White House: The Adventures of the Pony Algonquin and the Roosevelt Children. Meanwhile, here are my thoughts on writing.
