I just published a fantasy novella on Kindle . . .

     So, back around 2001, I started tinkering with a Norse-themed fantasy setting called Midhgardhur. I ran a couple of Dungeons & Dragons games using the setting, but mostly it was just a pleasant mental exercise in world building. I started working on it a little more in-depth in 2011, and began a Pathfinder RPG campaign set in that world in November 2011 (that campaign is still running as of this writing, incidentally - we just had our 77th game session on June 6th, 2015). Anyway, a couple of years ago, for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month for those of you who may not be familiar with the acronym), I wrote a novella set in the world of Midhgardhur, called The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper. When NaNoWriMo was over, I didn't look at it again for a while, but I recently dusted it off and edited it, then passed it to my wife Tanya for another round of editing, then I tinkered with it a bit more. Today I decided to publish it for Amazon Kindle . . . why not, right? I mean, I wrote a novel (really more of a novella) - I'm going to put it out there! So today I published it, and I just got notification that it is live for sale on Amazon. So, if anyone is interested, please do check it out - it sells for just $3.99 and it is the first time I've ever tried publishing my writing for sale. Give it a shot!
