My 2020 Blogging from A to Z Challenge revisits my best posts from the 2014 to 2019 Challenges.
From Zephyr to Zoo, I’ve always dug up some Zingers.
Anyway, my interest in history in my teens compelled me along various paths of research, which haven’t abated. At school, I learnt about the Anglo-Saxons and did a project on Sutton Hoo. My specialist subject for A level history was the Portuguese & Spanish Seaborne Empires. So, my alternative history has Norse and Meso-Americans fighting alongside each other.
Before the ‘our timeline’ revelation, how many of the real historical events and characters seem familiar? Or is this event pure fiction?
Although I’m engrossed in my Welsh procedural, I’ll keep tinkering with my Kanata alternative history. The initial trigger, Leif Eriksson’s permanent colonisation of Vinland, inspired me to rewrite other key episodes in history – and there must be more. The legacy forged from Vikings merging with the indigenous people will continue ripple down time. My vision of Kanata and a 21st Century Viking Age isn’t buried.

Huge congratulations for finishing the A-Z, and thanks for the rabbit holes/warrens you have opened for my mind to wander down. ‘Not all those who wander are lost…’

Thanks Sue – and thanks for your regular visits.
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

He was a master word and worldbuilding smith wasn’t he?
To this day I mourn the ents.

Without the Professor, I might not be a weaver of words. Today more than ever we need the Ents – yes, sad, especially when the Ent-wives vanished.
