About the author
Hi, I'm John P. Greenan, from the North East of England
I began writing in 2024 at the age of 54 and quickly discovered a passion for storytelling
My work is inspired by Norse History, shaped by time spent studying in sweden and exploring its myths and sagas - influences that led to my debut novel, The axe of the northmen
When i'm not writing, i enjoy history, films, 80s music, aussie rules, and spending time with my family and my Scottish terrier, Jessie
