Winter Solstice Winter: Norway-Born Author Releases Compelling Historical Romantic fantasy 'Viking Blood Saga'. Written by Evelyn J. Squires, 'Winter Solstice Winter' brings good and evil together for the ultimate book-bound adventure. Fusing romance and suspense with mythology and black art magic, the novel is expected to resonate with curious young adults around the world. New York - While Evelyn J. Squires now enjoys the fast-paced lifestyle of New York, her early years were spent in Norway - the 'land of the midnight sun'. As a direct descendant of the Vikings, mythology and magic run through her veins to offer a unique writing talent. Squires' latest novel, 'Winter Solstice Winter: A Viking Blood Saga - Book 1' fuses Norse history and culture with modern flare to produce an enchanting narrative for an increasingly open-minded young audience. As the author explains, her ultimate goal is to give young readers stories that are thought-provoking, captivating and wholly unique. "I strive to intertwine a good story with history, not making it a heavy boring read, but one that today's readers both young and old can relate to and enjoy. It's a different spin on Vikings, a story about Norsemen and women who didn't condone ruthless plunderings," says Squires. Continuing, "The good Viking vs. bad Viking approach leads into a much larger picture as the series continues." Since its release, the book has garnered a consistent string of rave reviews. "I'm not a big reader, but when it came to this book, I could not put it down..... Normally a book like this would take me at least a week to read, but it was so addicting I read it in two days! I loved all the characters, and the passion between Soren and his Soul mate was so intense and beautiful, be careful reading this book though, you might get so addicted you forget your own responsibilities," Says Heidi Scherer, reviewing the book on Amazon. Another reader was equally as impressed, adding, "This was a great story about how true love can even conquer death. It's a... saga mixed with fantasy folklore and dangerous Vikings... There are many profound characters and you are quickly invested in the story. With plenty of action and heartache, it keeps you reading and wanting to know what will happen next." With the series' next volume due for release in December 2013, interested readers are urged to purchase book one as soon as possible.
