Ask me anything about Norse mythology. As you read the series, you'll be amazed by how cool the mythology is.

What made you choose Norse Mythology vs the more common Greek Mythology that authors use in their books?

I've always been fascinated by Norse Pantheon and then Thor happened. I loved that movie and so I decided to read more about it and got hooked. It is so fascinating. And the best part was no one seemed to care about it. I wanted to try something new.

Well it worked! lol you did a wonderful job. I'm hooked:P I can't wait to find out more about Norse Mythology. I loved that movie too ( it didn't hurt that the actor who played Thor is a hottie..lol)

Oh yeah, Chris Hemsworth is dreamy and so is Loki actor, Tom Hiddleston

:) I can see why you would want to write more about Norse Mythology if all of them look so dreamy :) what is the main difference between Greek and Norse? they both have gods right?

Yes, they do. I'm going to start a discussion about their similarities and differences above

What have you found to be the best research source of Norse mythology? And how long did it take for you to do your research?

Would you ever mix both Norse and Greek into one story? Or would it get too confusing?

Rini, the Internet has amazing info on Norse mythology, Celtic culture (I needed to learn about witches/seeresses), and Druids (for Echo).
I usually do research as I go. Case in point, I was almost at the end of Immortals when I realized Raine was more special than the regular Norns. I actually stopped writing to read more about Ragnarok and the three roosters announcing its beginning. I know, roosters. I see them as metaphoric, LOL. Roosters actually mean people--Raine, Eirik, and now I have to introduce the third person... yippee! Another story.

Hmm, tempting. I looove Greek mythology, but things could get insane. I need to introduce an ancient Greece character like I did Femi, don't I?

Thanks for the response!

Are you ever going to put drawings of the common runes in a glossary for one of the books?

I wish I could I only did Freya's runes and I did it. If I find an artist whose work I like, I mitt ask her/him to do the main runes
