Step into a divine realm where ancient gods meet modern absurdity in I Am the Norse Goddess of Your Dreams, a wildly imaginative collection of short stories inspired by Norse mythology—with a generous dash of humor, mischief, and mortal chaos.
In this mythological mash-up, Thor uses Mjölnir for mixing marinara as the proud (and surprisingly temperamental) owner of Pizza of the Gods, a restaurant where every slice packs a punch of thunder. Meanwhile, Loki’s birthday becomes the ultimate family reunion from Hel, featuring shapeshifting toddlers, a gift-wrapped Jörmungandr, and awkward conversations with grandchildren who inherited his more chaotic genes.
At the Allfather’s lavish birthday celebration, guests gather for what they think is a harmless party game—but when a murder mystery turns real, it’s up to a ragtag group of gods, valkyries, and confused caterers to uncover the truth behind Balder’s sudden disappearance.
These stories—and others featuring sassy runes, retired valkyries running a wellness spa, and a love-struck Fenrir—blend the cosmic and the comedic to reimagine Norse legends for a modern audience.
Irreverent, clever, and strangely heartfelt, I Am the Norse Goddess of Your Dreams is mythology like you’ve never read it before: sharp-tongued, power-packed, and dripping with mead-soaked mischief.
