Ole Åsli has a PhD in Psychology and a love for a good story. Residing in Tromsø, a small city in northern Norway, he serves as a researcher and lecturer at the Arctic University of Norway. When he's not immersed in academia, Åsli dedicates his spare time to the enchanting world of literature, both as an avid reader and an accomplished writer.

Collaborating with his partner in fictional dark deeds, Tony Bakkejord, Åsli has crafted a compelling body of work. Their journey began with the publication of 'Viking' in 2017, a Norwegian historical fiction novel that marked the first installment of a thrilling trilogy set in the Viking Age. The second book in the series was released in July 2018, followed by the third in 2019, captivating readers with immersive tales of medieval Europe.

Building on the success of the trilogy, Åsli and Bakkejord embarked on a new literary adventure, bringing forth the enthralling 'Vikings of Norway' series. While each book stands on its own, there exists a captivating interweaving of characters, history, and Nordic heritage throughout.

Their repertoire includes 'Harald Fairhair,' a captivating narrative centered around the first king of Norway, which has already captivated audiences. In June 2023, 'Rage of the Berserk' was released, delving into the background of one of the most enigmatic characters from the Viking Ventures saga.

Currently, Åsli and Bakkejord are engrossed in crafting the stories of Harald Fairhair's two illustrious sons: Eric Bloodaxe and Haakon the Good. Set for release in the fall of 2023, these forthcoming tales promise to transport readers further into the captivating world of Norse sagas and Viking exploits.
