About the Author

Storyteller Viggo Conradt-Eberlin creates an alternative history of military strategy and humanitarianism concern in his debut novel, A Danish Knight and an American Lady. Fiction in spired by real life, he uses his own life experiences as the jump point of his creativity. From Seaman Recruit to full Commander, Viggo served in the United States Navy for 24 years. A survivor of the Cold War and the second Berlin Crisis, he also served aboard in Viet Nam, Gitmo, the Pacific and the Mediterranean. His dry land duty stations included Washington, D.C. An avid fisherman, Viggo learned the basics of storytelling spinning the catch of six-inch minnows into an epic battle with fish the size of whales. But entertaining children, nieces, nephews and grandchildren with fanciful tales, packed with scary spiders and shinning knights, gave Viggo the practice he needed in refining his storytelling skills. Married in 1960, Viggo celebrated almost 52 anniversaries with Nancy, who passed in 2012. His first published book is dedicated to her, the love they shared and the life they carved out together.
