A note from the author

The Tree at World’s End is an anthology that includes 2 novella-sized works and several short stories.

The title story is set in Viking times in an undefined part of Scandinavia and follows the adventures of a goatherd called Fjiorn and his wife Åsa, a love story set in Norse mythology that I thoroughly enjoyed exploring.

These stories open portals into alternate realities, where the mystical and the magical exist right alongside the mundane – much as they do in our own world – if only we could deepen our perception and see what lies just behind the flimsy, persistent veil of illusion.
