Hello,

I'm Norrsken / Northern Light,

Ever since my distant childhood I've been fond of reading and listening to stories and fairy tales - and I've also been writing lots and lots of them going right down into my cupboard! Now Fanfiction makes it possible to share my stories to those who might like to read them.

The Ancient world has always held great fascination for me. I remember reading children's tales with pictures of Ancient Greece, Rome and Carthage. The Iliad and the Odyssey are also constant companions. My interest in Alexander and Hephaestion begun way back in the middle of the eighties, after reading Mary Renault's Alexander Trilogy. I found the stories so incredibly amazing, one man achieving all this during a sadly all to short lifetime!

This set me off to a life long study of Alexander, and ultimately to my fic writing. I like both to read and write stories that have lots of action, angst and suspense - but I must have a happy ending. The Love and Friendship are important features, but the Envious Detractors and Formidable Foes will always lurk in the shadows and have to be faced with all kinds of strategies.

All the best wishes and hopefully good reading,

//NorthernLight
