A little history before I tell you something about the two winners of The Lords of the North audio books. A few years ago I had a giveaway of this book, and after I announced the contest had begun, the BBC contacted me to ask me if I wanted some more books. I said, “Sure, just let me know how best to order them from you, because it has been a bit difficult.” The woman I spoke with said, “No,…
Yep, I know it was Cornwell’s birthday ’cause he’s my friend on Facebook, and FB reminded me. No, I don’t know how old he is. We’re not that close. And since I don’t get on Facebook much, I missed the notice earlier, but today I saw it, and now I’m going to deal with a loose end.
I’ve got some audio books the BBC sent me in order to give them away. In particular, The Lords of the Northas read…
congrats@alfhaas for reading my mind regarding the hilarity of alfred’s daemon being a raven, one of the “witchiest” birds and odin’s feathery friend(s))
have this doodle of uhtred’s reaction after their first meeting, poor guy’s having an existential crisis in some nearby bushes. his animal is half wolf, half dog, if you were wondering))
Hi my name is Uhtred son of Uhtred, I was originally named Osbert until my brother Uhtred died and Bebbanburg needed an heir (that’s how I got my name), then I was raised by Earl Ragnar the Fearless (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Young Ragnar but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a Saxon but I was raised by Danes so I dress and act like a Dane. I’m a warrior (in case you couldn’t tell) and I always carry my sword Serpent-Breath. I love shield walls and making the square. For example today I was defending Eoferwic against the Danes. I disobeyed Alfred’s orders and made the square with the Danes’ leader and won which made me really happy. A lot of Saxons stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them. DESTINY IS ALL.
Uhtred: …Take one down, pass it around, two jugs of ale on the wall! Well, that’s all, I’m heading home now. Alfred: You made it all the way down to two and you’re quitting now?? Uhtred: Just drives you nuts, doesn’t it Alfred?
