Goodreads Ireland discussion

Hi my name is Kathryn Berryman and I am pleased to have found this group. I am looking forward to reading and maybe even contributing to the discussions. I am very interested in Irish history and mythology and have researched a bit in this area when writing my debut novel Erinland.

Here's the blurb if you would like to have a look at it!

Erinland is a virtual reality game (and world). The novel spans the 21st Century and the Viking Age and centres on three main characters who, through the course of the story face many challenges.

Amy, finding it difficult to ‘fit in’, becomes increasingly obsessed with the virtual reality game Erinland. The VR characters and the mists of Erinland begin to invade Amy’s dreams and her waking moments. She finds herself drawn into Erinland in 9th century Ireland. Amy becomes part of this mystical world as she joins in the struggle to defeat the Viking raiders.

Aidan is a monk living in 9th Century Ireland (Erinland). His monastery is facing imminent attack from the Viking raiders. His Abbott charges him with a sacred mission to protect the precious relics and hide them from the marauders. On his journey, Aidan meets many magical beings and his faith is tested.

Richard has a complicated home life and feels he doesn’t belong anywhere. A series of events finds him desperate and living on the streets, where he finds himself dragged into 9th century Norway by a Viking warrior. Richard finds acceptance with the Vikings and joins them on a colonisation raid to Ireland.
