My novel 'Wolf Brother' is set in northern Scandinavia during the late Stone Age, so I was aware from the start of Norse influences. I used some Norse names, and the soul-eater Thiazzi is based on the Norse storm giant, Thiassi.
I love Norse mythology - Thor and Odin and Loki - amazing characters.
RUNE is another one I'm really looking forward to.
I know 'Vikings' isn't really based in magic, but it goes back to Old World spirituality and different religions, and a lot of voodoo.
Let's go to Valhalla with the sun on our faces.
Thor and Loki are defined by each other.
Thor is a legend after all and if you're getting a legend back, you've got to get the Darby in.
