🚨 SNEAK PEEK ALERT 🚨

“The Bridegroom and the She-bear” is dark, twisted, and raw—revealing parts of me I didn’t know existed. Brace yourself for a tale that will haunt you,
Oddr’s grief

Eight months ago, I went down a rabbit hole so deep in Viking mythology and old-school Grimms’ Fairy Tales that I came out the other side with â€śThe Bridegroom and the She-bear”—and let me tell you, it’s a story I never saw coming.

I wrapped it up, thinking, “Alright, this is the moment. Time to bask in the glory of a job well done.” But no. Instead of feeling that rush, I just sat there, blindsided by this gut punch of emotion that made me wanna cry. Yeah, cry. There’s something so raw, so twisted buried in that tale that I didn’t even realize I was writing it at the time. Now, as we’re closing in on the endgame, with Dave Fowler handing me pages he's illustrated every few days, I’m starting to see how dark and damn intense this story really is.

Here’s the kicker—when you create something that catches you off guard like that? When you feel both proud and a little freaked out that it came from your own brain? That’s the magic right there. That’s storytelling.

We’re dropping “The Bridegroom and the She-bear” next week; trust me, it will stick with you.
