[Editing here to note that the HWA has removed this board member as of this afternoon. I’ll post the full text of that in the comments below.] Today I, and every other HWA member, received the HWA newsletter in our inboxes.

It’s 9th century Norway and Rúnr Njalson has been gifted supernatural warrior abilities as Odin’s chosen Berserkr. Enemies and allies quake in fear at his approach. But when the unbeatable hero cannot save his own daughter Yrsa during a rival clan’s raid, his only choice is to seek vengeance to gain her entry into Valhalla. […]
Firstly, I note that we are now in the one-month-ish run-up to The Calamities, which of course means I’m going to be louder and more annoying about that book for the next four or so weeks. (And then, let’s be honest, after that, too.) So, as pre-penance, here is a picture of a puffin. That […]
