Meet Your Facilitator

C.J. Adrien is a history teacher and 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 Hero’s Journey, Adrien’s Saga of Hasting the Avenger series blends historical realism with spiritual depth to explore the eternal battle between man and his shadow—a mythic reflection of his own journey toward wholeness and redemption.

Through his writing, Adrien invites readers to see the Viking world not merely as a distant past but as a mirror for our modern struggles. In addition to his novels, he teaches online history and writing courses and delivers guest lectures worldwide. He currently resides in France with his wife, sons, and pug, Captain Jean-Luc Pugcard.
