![]() ![]() ![]() I was looking for the perfect gods to show my heroine, Kristia Tostenson, that the world beyond her one-stoplight hometown is much bigger than she ever imagined. From John Lindow's Norse Mythology to D'Aulaire's illustrated guide for children, I gobbled up every book in my library that touched on the mythology. In addition to consuming undignified amounts of Norsk waffles (a true anytime food), I read up on the Norse myths. While writing my upper YA/NA paranormal romance, Elsker, I dove headfirst into Scandinavian culture. Ever since, those of us of Nordic descent have marked the day with parades, games, and lots and lots of Norsk waffles. ST: Some 200 years ago May 17, the Constitution of Norway was signed, and the country became an independent nation. In honor of Norway's Constitution Day (May 17), ST Bende, author of Elsker, offers a twist on some old myths. ![]()
