Since 2016, the "Viking authors", Ole Åsli and Tony Bakkejord, have been writing historical fiction together.

Ole Åsli

Ole has a PhD in psychology and a love for a good story.

He lives with his family in Tromsø, in the far north of Norway, where he is a researcher and a lecturer at the Arctic University of Norway.

In his spare time, he reads and writes stories.

Tony Bakkejord

Tony is a Norwegian psychiatrist and forensic psychiatrist. He has a university degree in history, and his favourite subjects are the Roman Empire, the Viking Age and the Second World War.

Tony lives with his wife and three kids in the Bodø, a town just above the Arctic Circle in northern Norway. He spends as much time as possible at his cabin, where he does most of his writing.
