Christie Ward has described herself as a technical support engineer by day, and a scholar of Viking Age history the rest of the time. Her interest in the early history of Northern Europe includes fascination with Anglo-Saxon and Norse poetry. She is a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, where she is known as Gunnvör silfrahárr (formerly, Gunnora Hallakarva).
Her work includes an inter-lineal translation of the Old English poem "The Battle of Maldon", showing first a line of the Old English followed by a the translation, to better allow those who don't read Old English to appreciate and follow the beauty of the original poem.
