Oh my! I'm researching about frost giants and a rotting girl named Hel when I should be leading some soldiers around a surreal otherworld. I think I've fallen in love with Norse Mythology.
Dead Sharp Bait was rejected by the Dead Bait anthology today (fabulous eight day response - I do love a quick turnaround), and I've now signed my zombie mermen up for another rejection in about 72 hours - I've sent it to Clarkesworld.
My abstinence from writing short stories only lasted a week. Though that's possibly a record.

The Norse lore is pretty cool. My brother wanted to name his son Loki but his girlfriend won that battle.
I have books and books on mythology but have only ever dipped into Greek & Roman - wrists duly slapped.
Frost giants are instantly cool. I mean, well, they'd have to be. Cold, even.
That's too bad about your Dead Bait story, but maybe Clarksworld will love it!
Maybe... But then again maybe not.
Cool indeed. Mickey Rourke is into Norse mythology; his Chihuahua is named Loki.
Abstinence is for virgins. And we both know you've been with plenty of short stories ; )
Norse mythology is great for us dark fantasy folks. You will find a market for dead mermen, never fear.
Mary, I can't believe I wasted so much time with the Greeks. Damn Agamemnon.
Natalie - LOL!
Aaron - who could not love zombie mermen?
Zombie mermen - I love it!
Sorry about the rejection, but someone else will snap it up.
There are some great stories in Norse Mythos, told and to-be. I'm almost done with American Gods, and there are some prominent Norse gods scattered throughout.
Good luck with the story...I'm I think 0 and 2 with Clarkesworld.
Oh I love Viking lore - heck - I married one ;)
i never studied norse mythology only greek and roman, but the snippets i come across always enchant me. Your soldiers will be ok on their own a little longer.
It is a pretty a cool feeling when you go to research something for only a singlr item and end up getting sucked into the research, spending hours on it.
Also, zombie Mermen is an awesome concept!
