Praise for Fin Gall:

Nelson, a master storyteller and experienced tall ship seaman, knows Vikings and the Middle Ages. Once started, Fin Gall is a page-turner... This tale is highly recommended.
                                                                The Quarterdeck

Readers will find themselves sitting on the edge of their seats, biting their nails, or holding their breath as the Norse, Danes, and Irish intrigue, betray, support, and survive in a brutal world where hope yet lives.
                                                Pirates and Privateers


Just published, Fin Gall is the story of Viking Raiders Thorgrim Night Wolf and Ornolf the Restless in 9th Century Ireland. The Norsemen, bound for the Viking longphort of Dubh-Linn on the Irish coast, attack a native vessel and aboard it find a treasure that is worth far more than the gold and jewels of which it is made, a treasure coveted by powerful men in Ireland, a treasure for which they would not hesitate to kill.
