In honor of Marvel’s Ragnarok, I’m making the first 3.5 books of I Bring the Fire FREE for a very limited time.

When Amy prays for a help, Loki the Norse God of Mischief and Chaos isn’t the savior she has in mind. Loki can’t resist Amy’s summons, but he can insist she help him outwit Odin, ruler of the Nine Realms. Can a nice midwestern girl trust a so-called God of Chaos? With an old evil calling to him from beneath Chicago’s streets can he even trust himself?

This box set is a USA TODAY bestseller, and contains the first three installments of I Bring the Fire plus In the Balance. It is perfect for fans of The Dresden Files and Terry Pratchett.

FREE on Amazon, Nook, iBooks, Kobo, and GooglePlay for a limited time.

Death of a Cyborg by Shorra.

I love this—the expectation that it’s an old master and then you look at the subject.

Tsukiyomi was the Japanese god of the moon. Unlike many other cultures, however, in Japanese mythology, the moon deity is male and the sun deity (Amaterasu) is female.

December - Ullr

Ullr - in early Germanic paganism, the god of winter, hunt, fortune and gambling, the patron of sport and healthy lifestyle. He is such a good archer and ski-runner that no one can rival him. He is beautiful to look at as well and he has all the characteristics of a warrior.

Ouroboros

Ouroboros


is an ancient symbol depicting a


snake biting its tail. The origin of this symbol is unknown, as it appears in history of almost every nation and is a symbol of many things. Ouroboros is a symbol of eternity and infinity, darkness and light, as well as the infinite cycle of nature’s endless creation and destruction, life and death.

According to Norse mythology, the serpent Jörmungandr grew so long that it encircles the world and grasped its tail in its teeth. When the end of the world comes, Jörmungandr will fight against all gods. But the cycle of life and death will never end. There will be new gods, new people and new monsters. A never-ending battle. 

The symbol was also used by many famous psychiatrists. For example, Carl Jung created a system of archetypes in which Ouroboros represented dualism. There is a constant battle inside of us between creation and destruction. And this battle keeps a balance in our mind. This state guarantees mental health.

Tbh I never understood why the term “thunder thighs” is supposed to be derogatory, it sounds like I am a terrifying weather goddess

Just tell people: “Why yes, my thighs *were* blessed by an Asgardian diety. Thank you for noticing.”

“He murmured the blessing while he was between them, in fact.”

I laughed more than I needed to at this.
