My article “The Curmsun Disc: Harald Bluetooth’s Golden Bull?” deepened that interest and led me into the world of Norse mythology, including the extensive research of Viktor Rydberg.

Interview About Birds of Ásgarðr

Camilla and I were recently interviewed by BookBuzz about The Old Norse Saga – Part One: Birds of Ásgarðr, and it was a lovely opportunity to reflect on the long journey behind the book.

In the interview, we talk about how the novel grew from a deep fascination with Norse mythology into a larger historical fantasy project. From the beginning, we wanted the story to feel rooted in the old mythic wor Read more of this blog post »

When the story was later rewritten in English, which became the language of the entire series, I was struck by how naturally English seems to lend itself to fantasy. Even " Read more of this review »

E.P.W. Tell liked Emma Weman's review of The Old Norse Saga - Part one: Birds of Ásgarðr: "Språket i The Old Norse Saga: Birds of Asgardr är verkligen någonting jag aldrig har läst förut. I början var de fornnordiska orden lite ovana och jag fick läsa vissa delar lite långsammare, men ganska snabbt vänjer man sig vid stilen. När man väl kom" Read more of this review »
