Odin consulting Mimir’s head for knowledge.
I imagine Mimir’s head to be more approachable. In my head cannon I’m not sure if Johnny Dep plays Mimir’s head or Hoenir.

It’s believed that the myth of the Valkyries as shapeshifters and “choosers of the slain” originated from the carrion beasts (ravens and wolves specifically) that would descend in a battle’s aftermath to feed on the battlefield’s dead.

Vampires, werewolves, mermaids, and Loki … OH MY! The Paranormal 13 boxset is FREE and features tales from some of the hottest indie authors. Errr … and me. I was asked to be featured in it and gladly accepted.
I’ve read Becca Mills’ Nolander, and it is Amazing … so I can say that the box set is worth it for that alone.

MAILING LIST ONLY GIVEAWAY
I’ve done a few giveaways with Goodreads, and I usually get a few hundred people who are new to my series—that’s great, but unfair to the people who have been following me all along. This time, I’m doing a mailing list giveaway of an autographed version of Part I. All you have to do is join my mailing list.
A winner will be picked at random next week by Excel. (Or I will tape all the emails to my wall and have one of my children play pin-the-tail on the email.)
Best of luck!

SOME MORE REVIEWS OF I BRING THE FIRE
Some more reviews for I Bring the Fire! These are for Monsters …
“The other Norse Gods will disagree, but I’m glad someone told Loki’s side of the story. I’d give it two thumbs up … if I had thumbs.”
Mimir’s Head
“There is no such thing as a department of Anomalous Devices of Unknown Origin. That is pure speculation and fantasy. And we don’t refer to our dark matter detectors as magic detectors!”
Anonymous FBI Agent
“Viva la revolution!”

SOME REVIEWS ...
Some reviews for I Bring the Fire …
"I found this story to be an amazingly accurate retelling of the Norse Myths. Excellent, highly recommended, two thumbs on fire."
- Loki, Norse God of Mischief and Chaos (and God of Fire)
"Eight hooves up. As one of Loki’s children, I approve."
- Sleipnir, eight-legged horse child of Loki
"This is not an accurate representation of the Norse Pantheon. Pure fantasy, a fairy tale, don’t believe a word of it."
- Odin, All Father, leader of the Norse Gods
"I am supposed to be the hero in Norse Mythology!"
- Thor, Norse God of Thunder
…….
I may have made these up.
