Did you study mythology for your book "Norse Code"? And if so, would you mind sharing a few of your sources? Loved your book, by the way :)
Greg Van Eekhout
Hi, Hayley. Glad you liked the book!
My best sources were the Poetic Edda (The Elder Edda), Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda (The Younger Edda), The Gods and Myths of Northern Europe by Hilda Ellis Davidson, and Myths and Symbols in Pagan Europe, also by Davidson.

I loved California Bones, especially the detailed magical system. Gearing up for Pacific Fire, I've got a random question. Daniel's dad says magic "transcends" the First Law, but the story treats it as nonrenewable. What happens when the osteomancer uses magic? Is it converted into energy or conserved? Also, where does a golem's osteomancy come from, since it sounds like golems innately contain (edible) magic?
