I thought this has got to be a mickey take but I've been perusing her website, and it would appear not (or if it is, then it is an awesomely elaborate hoax and deserves an award)!

She mentions on one page "Would you believe that I got an email from Magnus Eriksson in Denmark? I'm not kidding. Who would have thought when I named my hero in THE VERY VIRILE VIKING that he would have a namesake in modern times?"

Words fail me! BFBL!
