Author Talk — Megan Formanek

Join Scandinavian historical author Megan Formanek on Tuesday 24 February for a fascinating talk about Women in the Viking age.

  • 9.30–10.30am — Atherton Library. Register.
  • 12.00noon–1.00pm — Malanda Library and Customer Service Centre. Register.
  • 3.00–4.00pm — Ravenshoe Library and Customer Service Centre. Register.

As a university history major, Megan became enthralled by accounts of Viking grave goods found in now Russia, reportedly inscribed in the deceased’s own hand, a rare find for this period.

Megan Formanek writes Scandinavian historical fiction, telling adventurous stories of women set to make their own choices in a world where to fight can be an act of creation.
