Hello everyone,

I am excited to announce that I have begun constructing a Midhgardhur Wiki for fans of my books and stories who want to know more about the Norse fantasy world of Midhgardhur. It is going to take a lot of time and work before it really has enough content for me to begin promoting it, but I thought I would let the fans know that it is on the way!

I had to sit for over an hour in a waiting room today while my son was at an appointment, so I used the time to sketch out the wiki and to make sketches of plots for Channillo stories in the upcoming year. For anyone who hasn't seen Tales From Midhgardhur yet, it's my monthly series of short stories set in Midhgardhur published on Channillo. I'm pretty excited about it; please check it out!

Also of possible interest: I got some feedback on the terrible cover art for "The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper" (well, it was not truly *terrible*, but it was my first attempt at cover art and not very professional). So I created an alternate cover that matches the design used for "Tales From Midhgardhur" and the upcoming Ormsbani. I liked it, so I uploaded it to Amazon. I'm not sure how long it will take to fully replace the old cover, but I'm working on it!

Happy Reading! Skál!

Hello everyone,

So, as you may know, my 2nd novel is called Ormsbani (A Midhgardhur Fantasy) and I officially finished writing the initial version of it as of December 1st, 2015. It is a re-imagining of the Germanic legends of Sigurðr/Sigfried the Dragonslayer. So where is it now? Well, it is in the first round of reading and editing. It will need a lot of work before it is published! The initial round of editing has taken longer than you might expect (the various December holidays are partly to blame!), but we're working on it! I'll keep you posted! I think it is going to be a better novel than The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper (my first novel), so if you liked that one, I think you'll love the next one! It will probably be at least six months before it is ready, but I think it is worth the wait!

There is already a fan page for Ormsbani on Facebook (as well as my Author Page and a fan page for The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper, so you can check those out if you haven't already. I've also set up an author's blog on Blogger that offers a lot more flexibility than the Goodreads Blog, you can follow that at THIS web address if you want to keep up with what's new from me!

Happy Reading and Happy New Year! I'll be toasting with Akvavit at midnight (a Brodd family tradition!), so . . . SKÁL!

Hello everyone,

Tanya just finished her first read-through of Ormsbani, and here is what she wrote: "Wow, just finished reading Colin Brodd's newest manuscript "Ormsbani" and it was so good and so unexpected. Oh I loved it. It will be a while before other people get to read it (this was a first read through kind of edit) but it was so good!"

I have a very good feeling about this one!

Happy Reading! Happy New Year!
SKÁL!

Hello everyone,

Today for Word Count Wednesday, I weighed the revisions on Ormsbani - it currently weighs in at 69,145. I STILL have lots of revisions to make, but I'm making good progress. I really need to get back to my Tales From Midhgardhur story for March on Channillo, though . . .
