GUEST POST - 6 THINGS I'D LOVE TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE IN NORWAY BY KEIRA GILLETT

Post Title - 6 Things I’d Love to See and Experience in Norway

Hello and thanks Sandra for having me! My name is Keira Gillett and I’m so excited to join you today. This is not the first time I’ve been at Japan Reviewer, but before I was here as a reviewer and today I’m here as an author! My new release, Zaria Fierce and the Secret of Gloomwood Forest, had its first two plots set in Russia and Canada. When I tossed those plots aside, I also tossed out the settings.

I couldn’t decide if I would keep the story on earth or set the story in another earth-like setting with all fantasy realms and kingdoms. All I really knew was that I wanted it be set in the north. So I kept researching and as I did I fell in love with Norway. Because of that research, I have many must-do's for when I can get to Norway (which I hope is soon!) So, I thought I would share the places and activities in Norway that top my wanderlust chart.

Sakura Ichiko has everything. A rich family, friends who adore here, money, possessions and a happy future with a butler who views her as his own daughter. No one is supposed to live such a good life with so much luck, or at least that is according to the Momiji, or poverty god. Her job is to go down to Earth to tell her she has got too much luck for one person, and has to give it up to her.

Part of the Halo fragment Master Chief thought he had destroyed in the earlier conflict between the Covenant is believed to still exist and has been used to create a biological weapon to wipe out all human life on Sedra. Halo: Nightfall focusses on Jameson Locke from the Halo 5: Guardians video game and has Locke as the leader of a team investigating terrorist rumours on the planet. After a while they come across an alien who passes a device that looks like a bomb to an Elite Zealot, but it isn't a bomb - it's something far worse
