About M.N. Stroh
Historical Saga Meets Serialized Drama...
Tale of the Clans
Step into the world of Viking-era Ireland with M.N. Stroh, author of the Christian historical fiction saga, Tale of the Clans. With over two decades spent researching Medieval Ireland, some may call her eccentric. Actually, she’s a sucker for the Middle Ages who fantasizes about having her own castle with a secret library, an armory, and a moat big enough to sail a longship in its depths.
M.N. serves as co-host and Director of Communications for Writers Chat, and is also part of the Historical Novel Society’s Interviews Admin Team. Join her Clan here!
The Past Re-Forged
Tale of the Clans is best described as “Historical Saga Meets Serialized Drama”. Each book in the series takes readers on adventurous escapes filled with eternal truths and timeless redemption.
Her novel, Rise of Betrayal (originally book 1 in the Tale of the Clans series), was the first-runner-up in the 2019 Ohio Christian Writers Conference Blue Seal Awards for the historical fiction category, and a CIBAs Chaucer Book Awards 2024 Finalist.
