Preparing to fall to fury (or fermentation, whichever takes me first). Fallen to Fury is the last book in @gregoryamato.bsky.social’s Spear of the Gods trilogy. I really liked the first two and definitely recommend them. Signed copies are available online! shop.amatoauthor.com/collections/...

I will officially be a panelist at @norwescon.org , the Pacific Northwest’s premier science fiction and fantasy convention. Join us 2-5 April 2026 in SeaTac, WA! www.norwescon.org

Some great chats were had with @bjornlarssen.com, Ludvig Swärd (Forndom), @angusdonald.bsky.social, Laia San José Beltrán (@thevalkyriesvigil.bsky.social), and @gregoryamato.bsky.social. And more will come in the new year! 2/2

Dr. Mathias Nordvig and @rootinthewell.bsky.social interviewed me on The Sacred Flame podcast recently. We talked vikings, of course, and a lot about how they're portrayed in popular media. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAv6...

New Ymir’s Corpse interview up this weekend for anyone who missed the earlier announcement. @gregoryamato.bsky.social is the author of the Spear of the Gods trilogy, a series in which the myths, magic, and monsters of Norse sagas are all very real. scandinavianaggression.com/2025/12/ymir...

New Ymir’s Corpse interview up on Scandinavian Aggression today, this time with @gregoryamato.bsky.social! Gregory is the author of the heavily Norse-inspired Spear of the Gods trilogy, the final volume of which, Fallen to Fury, was just released. scandinavianaggression.com/2025/12/ymir...

Goodreads is turning off direct messaging soon. That was a pretty important feature for me. When there were five reviews of some weird, esoteric research text, I'd often get in touch with one of the reviewers. Not many other avenues for that sort of thing. Time to abandon the GR ship, IMO.

The Spear of the Gods Saga concludes with Fallen to Fury, and I finally have print copies! Shipping these out to Kickstarter backers as fast as I can. Preorders also live: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... #norse #norsemythology #fantasy #booksky

Did a little celebration dance yesterday when I distributed the final (e)book of my series to Kickstarter supporters. Retail version drops on 1 December. Preorder here: kdp.amazon.com/amazon-dp-ac... (Also, book one is on sale for a limited time only!)

Oh wow, another important security update. Thanks @sumsung.bsky.social

Norse fantasy - not just "inspired by Norse myths." This is fantasy in our world, as if the myths, magic, and monsters of the Viking Age were real. Kickstarter late pledges still accepted: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ama... #norsemythology #indiefantasy #booksky

FFS, this video was so much worse to watch than I thought it would be, and I had very low expectations. Schumer: "If that happens, then we will have . . . " We will have the passive voice. Which should tell you exactly what to expect.

Our resident Norse History for Bostonians Historian, Rowdy Geirsson, is back on this St. Patrick's Day with a new wicked awesome installment of "Norse History for Bostonians."

WOW. Iain M. Banks's Use of Weapons was one of my most profound literary experiences, period. Any Culture novel being adapted seems incredibly ambitious to me since so much of Banks' work involved capturing a tone that might not easily translate onto the screen. I am really excited, though!

Just received my copy of the Galdrabok this week, so this will be a great companion!

When faced with public events so absurd that a past version of myself would surely have said "Haha, that can't happen, you're crazy," I fall back on and old video and imagine the powers that be singing the song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRBO...

The Oxford-Bloomsbury Fantasy Summer School sounds like an amazing opportunity for students interested in fantasy literature.

The Daughters' War by @buehlmeister.bsky.social is a hell of a read. Probably going to be my best of the year. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

In the East Coast Portland! Shared some proper New England food and great New England beer at the High Roller Lobster Company with fellow Norse writer @rgeirsson.bsky.social #beer

That was some good beer!

Howard Andrew Jones has died. I will have plenty to say later... and I can already see I won't be alone. But for now? Thank you for everything, my friend. May your memory be a blessing. And may your life and legacy inspire us for years to come.

Found out recently that Amazon pretty much makes books impossible to find via searches until they have more than 20 reviews. Books don't get included in recommendations until 50 reviews. My first novel, Burden to Bear, only has 14 Amazon reviews. I'm asking for help. And I'm dropping the price.

Publication date for my Trolls book now May 15th, it seems.

I think this is the talk I'm most looking forward to.

I missed this last year, but I'd really like to be there for the live panels this time. Join me!

Dr. Tom Shippey is so accomplished I don't even know how to properly introduce him. The foremost Tolkien and Beowulf expert, a most engaging writer and speaker. I was way out of my league in asking him to read my books. He's now endorsed both of my novels. Happy new year! #norsemyths #fantasybooks
