882 when he captured two of the enemy’s ships, but it was his victory in 897 for which the epithet “the Great” was awarded and for which he is traditionally acknowledged as the Founder of the Royal Navy.

You have a script written for The Briton and the Dane Trilogy, who would you like to see as your cast?
Of course, these actors would have to work for union scale lest the cost to produce this series becomes cost prohibitive. My cast includes: Chris Egan as Erik; Ioan Gruffudd as Rollo; Stellan Skarsgard as King Guthrum; Til Schwieger as Odulf; Joel Edgerton as Alfred the Great; Jeremy Irons as Lord Richard; Clive Owen as Stephen; James Franco as David; Richard Armitage as Cerdic; Sean Bean as Sarlic; Mads Mikkelsen as Wulfgar; Viggo Mortensen as Lord Bayen and Ewan McGregor as Father Felix.

What is a typical day for you?
Mornings are for marketing and afternoons for writing. In-between, I get the recommended “walk 5 miles a day” exercise on my treadmill and do take time for lunch.
And, of course, there is OT when projects demand burning the midnight oil.
