The second of The Northlore Series of books is out today. A planned trilogy of books, the first volume was called Folklore, and this second one is called Mythos. I have two short stories featured in it.
The premise of this one is that since the advent of Christianity 2,000 years ago, the old Norse Gods didn’t just cease to exist but continued on, right through to the present day. These are their stories. There are tales of different times and different places: from the Russian Plains, to the Somme, to a cafe in New York. A varied collection that holds something for everyone, it is a great companion piece to Folklore.
In Folklore, I had included a poem about a Mara, and a story about a Myling. A reviewer (in a good way), described my story as ‘Murray’s bleak take on the Myling legend’. If he thought that was bleak, wait until he reads my World War One tale in Mythos! Though I liked ‘bleak’. I think I’ll take that.
The books contain humour, too. There is a good balance throughout: light and dark, prose and poetry.
Both books are available here:

That is super exciting!! I somehow manage to miss the first book? How could I do that? I ordered both, and can’t wait to get them 🙂
Best of luck! Have a wonderful day!
(Maybe you want to include the US Amazon address in your post?)

Thank you very much, Maria. I guess Folklore came out before I had the pleasure of your company on WordPress. And thanks for the American Amazon oversight-I’ve now done it!

I guess it must of had. As you can imagine this type of books are very interesting to me. I love telling my daughter old stories from the Norse mythology. I’ve read all the old classic ones. I even read some out loud to her when I was pregnant! I believe that stories is a very important part of our past, that should be honored.

It is important, and you have a rich heritage that you should be proud of. It is good that you teach this to your daughter (I do the same for the Celtic tales of my ancestors). Have you read this one:
