"The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper" is live!
I've always enjoyed writing. Not as much as reading, but almost as much. I published some poems and short stories in school literary magazines in high school and college, but never anything that paid me or cost my readers anything.
So, back around 2001, I started tinkering with a Norse-themed fantasy setting called Midhgardhur. I ran a couple of Dungeons & Dragons games using the setting, but mostly it was just a pleasant mental exercise in world building. I started working on it a little more in-depth in 2011, and began a Pathfinder RPG campaign set in that world in November 2011 (that campaign is still running as of this writing, incidentally - we just had our 77th game session on June 6th, 2015).
Anyway, a couple of years ago, for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month for those of you who may not be familiar with the acronym), I wrote a novella set in the world of Midhgardhur, called "The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper". When NaNoWriMo was over, I didn't look at it again for a while, but I recently dusted it off and edited it, then passed it to my wife Tanya for another round of editing, then I tinkered with it a bit more.
A few days ago, I decided to publish it for Amazon Kindle. I mean, I wrote a novel (really more of a novella) - I'm going to put it out there! So I published it, and I got notification that it is live for sale on Amazon. It sells for just $3.99 and it is the first time I've ever tried publishing my writing for sale. The feedback so far has been great, and I really appreciate all the kind words and encouragement.
I am working on another book in the same world, although a very different sort of book, based on a story from the Norse sagas . . . I'll let you know when to expect it when I really get serious with it. Right now, I'm researching . . .

After NaNoWriMo, Channillo!
Hello everyone,
"Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water."
Well, NaNoWriMo is officially over, and Ormsbani is finished in first draft and is in the first serious round of editing. Lots of work to do yet, but I'm pretty excited by this one! I'm estimating about 6 months before it is truly ready for publication. And I already have some ideas for the next one.
Meanwhile, my series Tales From Midhgardhur has started on Channillo with "Dark Valkyrie," a tale of Queen Gydha (from The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper). I'm working now on the 2nd installment, "Hrafn's Ninth Night," a tale of Hrafn Herulason from the same book!
Cheers!
