Today, Helevorn talks to Fortunus Games about her short story, "Holmgang," which is the first in her anthology of short stories set in medieval Norway, "Tales of the North." 

"Tales of the North" can be read on Tapas: Tales from the North | Tapas

Topics we cover include:

• How does the writing process differ when creating a short story vs. a longer piece?
• Plot and style - Inspiration from saga literature 
• Characters: In what way is Hakon the typical Viking/ Norse hero? How does Sif differ from my other female characters?
• Editing done between 2016 and today: How did the characters evolve? How did the writing evolved?
• What is the format? Why did you choose to turn this into an illustrated story?
