The year is 1957. Four-year-old Paul Ecke sits timidly at a foreign kitchen table, eating the first inferior meal of many in a foster home. Longing for his beloved mother, he sees her only on short weekend visits that grow more infrequent over time, as she tries unsuccessfully to hide a nervous breakdown along with yet another growing pregnancy. Despite - or perhaps because of - the emotional angst, complicated sexual identity issues, and deep loss he experiences, Paul cultivates a profound gift of creative genius.

This is a autobiography of my life. I have MS, I was divorced, was in a car accident and battled mental and weight issues. I want to be a voice for others who don't feel like they can talk about their situation, but can relate to my story. I hope and am trying to help others - this is way bigger than me. I want to show others it's only 10 percent what happens, 90 percent is what we do about it. I want to brighten someone's cloudy day.

Yes, I admit it. I’ve always had a crush on him. Tripp is the hottest man I’ve ever met. A walk by the beach changed everything. He took my innocence. Tripp is a biker. He’s strong and ambitious. A bad boy with a kind heart. But I can’t trust him. Not when he talks about leaving town and starting over. I won’t let him stomp all over my heart. Should I be the one to walk away first?

Midgard is a funeral pyre. Ragnarök, the doom of the gods, has brought the Empire of the Heavens to ruin. For some, the harrowing promises a new beginning. Mother Jörð will rise again, and new gods will return to the golden tables of old. But Iðunn Lind, keeper of the great World Tree Yggdrasil, no longer believes in ancient prophecy or the hand of fate.

What if an ancient god escaped his fate and history was thrown to the wolves? Churchwarden Michaels thought it was just a run-of-the-mill crazy old man who stood in the graveyard, hellbent on studying the 1,000-year-old Viking memorial there. But when things start changing and outright disappearing, Michaels realizes there is more to this old man than meets the eye. Now, Michaels finds himself swept up in an ancient god’s quest to escape his destiny by reworking reality, putting history - and to Michaels’s dismay, Christianity itself - to the Viking sword.
