It is. All my life I've wondered what they would make of each other -- the Norse gods and the Greek, Cinderella and Rose Red, the archetypes from the Tarot and the Celtic Wheel of the Year. It's irresistible ... so powerful. My characters are alive in my mind, and have been, in some cases, all my life. I've told oral stories for years and they insist on being part of it, too! Great fun.
Thank you, Joseph. I've always thought of the various spiritual frameworks as akin; each culture has a piece of the elephant and all those pieces make complete human experience. Weaving together Celtic, Norse, Greek, and other mythologies and stories has been joyous. I do believe we all have much more in common than modern culture would have us realize. We need each other. We can learn from each other. We can enrich and support one another.
Thank you, Michael. I'm glad the love shines through, because all my fiction is very much from the heart. I hope you continue to enjoy it. I appreciate your kind words.
I just want to say that I'm so glad to have found a fellow serial fiction writer. I'm going to start reading from the very beginning. Thank you for sharing your stories!
Thank you, Elizabeth. I'm very pleased to connect with you. We have much in common. I poked around your sites and read about Google's update, blogging, minimalism, money, and the no-path for us writers in terms of getting traditionally published. Made me want to sit down and have lunch with you! I think we'd have a lot to talk about. I hope you enjoy my work, and I intend to explore your space opera, as well. I'll be following you with interest and I'll respond to your "Tell me about yourself" this weekend when I'm not busy with my paycheck job! Thanks very much for your support and reaching out. It means a lot.
I'll be so happy to have lunch with you - if you ever come down to Malaysia, it's definitely a date! And take your time responding to the post - as a dayjobber, I totally get it lol!
PS: I'm already enjoying your work. Hope to head to a cafe tomorrow to binge read a few posts!

I love the way you mixed different mythologies into one story.
I'd have never thought to put Odin and Hades together, or would have I?
I put Aztec and Germanic gods in a pantheon.
Very nicely done.
This feels lovingly crafted, with an attention to scene and detail that is rare. Beautiful beginning to a story.
Ooh, this is off to such a wonderful start! Love the rich atmosphere, mythology, and symbolism. Can't wait to dig in further!
Thank you for reading! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

I love mash-ups of different mythologies. This looks interesting. I've written Norse/Irish mashups. It's fascinating how they dovetail.
