Secrets
of the Ash Tree
By
Siv Maria Ottem
~~~In the realm of the gods and fairy tales the mystery of
life is an endless path with many secrets to be discovered. Some secrets are
like dreams, just waiting in darkness hoping to get into the light. ‘Secrets of the Ash Tree’ is the story about Liv, a young woman who discovers her true nature through the unraveling of hidden secrets. Her adventures begin when she digs up a chest that was buried by her father under the old ash tree in her garden. What she finds inside the chest changes her life forever. Liv discovers one secret after another and is thrown into a world full of dangerous and strange creatures, mighty Norse warriors and perils beyond her belief. What started out as a fairy tale in her father’s journal was to become her legacy, a guide line to survival, and a map to the world she was about to enter. Each day, each mystery, each encounter will ultimately reveal her true destiny and behind the edge of a sword awaits a young god who is willing to share that destiny with her.

Now for a fun interview about the book!
What's the one item you'd grab if your home was on
fire?
Odin turns his head and fastens his
one good eye at Elisa. He touches the rim of his floppy woolen hat and smiles.
“It has taken me over a century to
get this hat just right and I would never leave home without out. Not even if
all of Valhalla was on fire.”
If you could be a superhero who would you be?
Odin chuckled, “Am I not a superhero
in your world? From what I have heard my son Thor has become quite the
superhero. Actually you could say that I am the father of all superheroes.”
If you could fight any supervillian who would it be?
Odin placed both hands on his
walking stick and leaned forward until his face was just inches away from
Elisa. The breath on his whisper curled the air with the scent of stale ale as
he answered, “Loki…I never tire of battling my wits against his. I find him
most amusing, as I am sure you have read all about in the book Secrets of the
Ash Tree.”
What made you fall in love with your significant other?
What is your favorite breakfast food?
“Now that’s more like it! Bring on the feast of dried meats and cheese, let
us break bread together and celebrate the first story in a series of Gods and
Fairytales. Bring on the ale so that we may toast to the success of Secrets of the Ash
Tree!

ReplyDeleteThanks Elisa! Odin got a big chuckle out of this interview :)
ReplyDeleteTechnically, he's right - he is the father of all superheroes.
ReplyDeleteOdin can give quite the interview
ReplyDeleteOne of the most fun author interviews I've read. Makes me want to read the book-
ReplyDeleteSince Odin has such wisdom, I would have a headful of questions and lips that would be afraid to ask them! :-)
ReplyDeleteAlex- And some Superhero Father he is!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat and Shelly
Roland- You and me both :)
For some reason I could not get the individual reply button to function
ReplyDeleteDear Elisa, what a great way to do a review of the book through a mock interview using sections of the book itself! Peace.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope I didn't miss the party - food and wine! I'm in!
ReplyDeleteDoes your site have a contact page? I'm having trouble locating it but, Id like to send you an email. I've got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
