I spent a wonderful four days prowling around Sitric's Viking Dublin during writing the story. Gave me goosebumps to walk down a street that my heroine walked down 1000 years ago. Not that it looked like it did then, but even so...the dog-leg kink is still there, and the name has survived. And the gold jewellery in the museum is amazing. Thoroughly recommend a visit, but you should read the book too!<br />JenJen Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628305777383099281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357603751482084601.post-70292482134576702602010-09-05T21:14:45.847+02:002010-09-05T21:14:45.847+02:00Let's leave that to the author shall we, it...Let's leave that to the author shall we, it's her bag and maybe she can tell us more about the background to her story?

Sitric and Dark Pool (Dubh Linn) immediately said Dublin to me, but I could well be wrong - and I daresay Sitric had more than one hall.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357603751482084601.post-89964738901063017382010-09-05T17:08:13.411+02:002010-09-05T17:08:13.411+02:00Aha... now we're learning together.

Alway...Gaelic, dubh = black or dark, linn = pool. <br />Always thought it mildly amusing that there are two places called Blackpool (in different languages) more or less opposite each other across the Irish Sea.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357603751482084601.post-16714236327498310422010-09-05T16:58:16.178+02:002010-09-05T16:58:16.178+02:00Not being familiar with this period, nor having re...Not being familiar with this period, nor having read this book, I wonder what the "Dark Pool" relevance is?
