Introduction

When I think about novels I always think about that crisp white paper, the small 10-point font and that mesmerizing smell when you hold the pages up to your nose.

Novels have been like this for generations; until now.

The bittersweetness of going to chapters or the local library, and walking through the aisles of shelves; author after author, genre after genre.

It was like a candy store full of astonishing literature.

As the world becomes more inclined towards technology, novels begin to lose that special factor.

E-books?

Kindles?

iPads?

The notion of going to get a new novel is no longer an experience, it is something that happens within seconds and a few taps of your fingertips.

We no longer have that crisp white paper, or that 10-point font, or my favorite part - that distinct fresh smell of the freshly published pages.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
