Bill Arnott guides readers on an epic literary odyssey following historys most feared and misunderstood voyageurs: the Vikings! To go Viking is to embark on an epic journey. For over eight years, Bill Arnott journeyed throughout the northern hemisphere, discovering sites Scandinavian explorers raided, traded, and settled -- finding Viking history in a wider swath of the planet than most anthropologists and historians ever imagined. With a small pack and a weatherproof journal, Bill explores and writes with a journalists eye, a songwriters prose, a poets perspective, and a comedians take on everything else. Prepare yourself for an armchair adventure like no other! From Europe to Asia, the Mediterranean to the British Isles, through Scandinavia to Iceland, Greenland, and the New World, with further excursions around Thor Heyerdahls Pacific, Roald Amundsens Arctic, and Olaf Crowbones stormy North Atlantic, Bill takes readers on a mythic personal adventure in real time -- a present-day Viking quest.

Bill is a national songwriting finalist, poetry award recipient, and finalist for the 2019 Whistler Independent Book Award.

He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
