Award-winning & bestselling author | Co-host of the Vikingology Podcast | History Lecturer at Medievalists.net | Future Presenter at HistoryHit (đ)
C.J. Adrien is a history teacher and a bestselling, award-winning author of historical fiction novels. Drawing on years of research into early medieval Europe and a lifelong study of myth, Jungian psychology, and the Heroâs Journey, Adrienâs Saga of Hasting the Avenger series blends historical realism with spiritual depth to explore the eternal battle between man and his shadow. Through his writing, Adrien invites readers to see the Viking world as a mirror for our modern struggles with ambition, faith, and forgiveness.
In addition to his novels, he cohosts the Vikingology Podcast with Prof. Terri Barnes, teaches online courses for Medievalists.net, and delivers guest lectures worldwide. His goal is to one day work as a presenter for HistoryHit or another documentary production company (so if you know anyone in such places, please put in a good word đ).
Adrien currently resides in France with his wife, sons, and pug, Captain Jean-Luc Pugcard.
