Katie Aiken Ritter

Katie Aiken Ritter is a graduate of Swarthmore College (and proud to have three family members who attended Washington College). Following a long career in IT, Katie experienced an unsettling epiphany directing her to write about Viking-era people.

She traveled to Iceland for primary research and enjoyed a brief stint as a crew member on the replica longship Draken Harald Hårfagre. She’s the author of The Norse Adventure Series (available on Amazon or via your local library/bookstore), four deeply researched novels set in Iceland during the Viking era. Katie is a member of the Eastern Shore Writers Association, the Historical Novel Society, and leads writing workshops.
