From the lead designer of Elder
Scrolls V: Skyrim comes an epic journey into Norse Mythology. What if Loki was never the bad guy?
Loki, once a god, now nothing more than a stage magician in modern-day
Chicago…
…his enemies from a
thousand years ago have long memories.
Victors wrote the history, and Loki
was blamed for the sins of the Norse gods. They can’t let him live in peace.
He has to set aside his new life to
settle old grudges while coming to terms with what it means to be a man.
And a god.
If Loki fails, the nine realms will
fall.
This is not superhero fiction. Mischief
Maker breathes new life into Norse mythology, reinterpreting the legends
through Loki’s modern lens.

Guest Post - On Writing Mischief Maker:
Every
author has their own process. Mine is to write the story, beginning to end,
focusing on the plot. Once that is done, I go back through and layer in other
aspects.
For example, in Mischief Maker, I went through the entire book and
made sure Manny was present everywhere he needed to be and had something fun or
important to say.
Unfortunately, he was an easy character to forget. On another
pass, I went through and added the pranks that Loki played on everyone. It's
really easy to get caught up in the plot and forget to maintain things like
this, so I take care of them with subsequent passes.
Review: An interesting, original take on Norse mythology. While the action could have been sped up at times, the scenery and situations Loki finds himself in were engaging, as were the characters. And the pranks added a fun aspect! 4 stars
