Word Count Wednesday and International Women's Day 2018

Hail Einherjar!

     International Women's Day is right around the corner (March 8th, 2018), and as usual, Midhgardhur Books will be celebrating with style! We are pleased to be offering two great deals to celebrate strong women and strong female characters in fantasy literature: The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper will be FREE on Kindle from March 8th to March 12th of 2018, and the Tales collections (Tales From Midhgardhur, Volume I and Tales From Midhgardhur, Volume II) will be on Kindle Countdown Sale between March 8th and March 15th. Celebrate International Women's Day 2018 and treat yourself to some great deals on some Norse fantasy literature with powerful women and mighty shieldmaidens!

 I also want to keep you posted on other WIPs (works in progress) that are ongoing, but those have not really budged since my last update - I spent 4 days in the hospital with my son for an EEG (trying to rule out seizures), and I haven't been at my terminal to write!:

Current Works in Progress:

Ormsbani (novel) - 71,008 words

Asa Oathkeeper Among The Giants (novel) - 50,516 words

Finally, if you enjoy my work, please join the official fan club on Facebook, the Einherjar of Midhgardhur!

Happy Reading! Skál!

Reminder - Kindle Countdown Sale begins TODAY

Hello everyone,

     I just wanted to remind everyone that The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper is on Kindle Countdown sale from today until 10/17/17! If you do not yet have the book on Kindle, grab it now while it is on sale in honor of this week's International Day of the Girl!

Celebrating International Day of the Girl with a Kindle Countdown Sale!

Hello everyone! Happy International Day of the Girl!

     In honor of International Day of the Girl, I am setting up a Kindle Countdown sale on The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper! Asa was only a little girl when the terrible events leading to her doom and her destiny began. In the fantasy world of the North where she was raised, there is a high degree of gender equality, and yet sexism does persist; many of her enemies mistreat and underestimate Asa because "she is only a girl." Part of the story the saga tells is of the power that a girl can have, and the kind of powerful woman a girl can become. So, between October 13th and 17th of 2017, The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper will be on countdown sale, starting at $0.99 and then going to $1.99 before reaching $2.99. If you have been waiting to try The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper, or have just been needing some epic Norse fantasy in your life, check it out while it's on sale!

Happy Reading! Skál!

Word Count Wednesday and Holiday Sales!

Hello everyone,

     Since my return from the hospital late last month, I have not been posting much, so it is probably time for an update! Here's where things stand:

• I am not participating in NaNoWriMo this year, which makes me sad. But what I have decided to do instead is edit Ormsbani AGAIN. Sounds tedious, I know, and it can be, but I think this is the best editing session yet. I've made some pretty big changes to the original manuscript, and I think they're all pretty awesome ones. I got rid of a lot of clunky scenes and text that always bothered me, and have it reading much more the way I want! Huzzah! Word Count: 71,614
• I am trying to catch up on my backlog of stories for Tales From Midhgardhur on Channillo. Right now I'm trying to finish up "The Knocker In The Dark," which was supposed to be my October story. Haven't even started November, and it's almost December! {sigh} Working on it. Current Word Count: 1710 (yeah, I know, that's not even a really good DAY by NaNoWriMo standards!)
• HOLIDAY SALES: Want to give someone the gift of Midhgardhur this Yule-tide? I've got you covered! The Kindle editions of my books will be going on Kindle Countdown Sales between December 1st and 14th! First up is The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper: A Midhgardhur Fantasy which will be on Countdown Sale starting December 1st and ending December 7th. Then Tales From Midhgardhur, Volume I will be on Countdown Sale starting December 8th and ending December 14th. So if there is a special someone in your life with whom you want to share the Yule-tide glory of Midhgardhur on their Kindle, that's the time to do it! 

Happy Reading! Skál!

Word Count Wednesday and the Sons of Fenrir!

Hello everyone!

Word Count Wednesday: My current work-in-progress for Tales From Midhgardhur on Channillo, "Fenrissynir" (”Sons of Fenrir”), is at 1793 words, and I think it is about halfway done. My endless editing project, the next novel (Ormsbani), sits at 16,198 words. It is slow going because other things demand my time and attention (e.g. my wife and I are in the final stages of the licensure process for fostering/adoption!), but I'm working on them! 

In the meantime, don't forget that The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper: A Midhgardhur Fantasy will be on Kindle Countdown Sale from April 17th-24th of 2016! 

Happy Reading! Skál!
