Norse fantasy - not just "inspired by Norse myths." This is fantasy in our world, as if the myths, magics and monsters of the Viking Age were real.

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.

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!
