About
A dead systems analyst and his guardian spirit must navigate the malfunctioning "legacy code" of a broken Norse afterlife to debug his own nature and win a secondlife. Pitted against obscure aspects of Northern mythology, Ian Strand is aided by his fylgja-the "guardian angel" who has stood by him through a life of quiet observation. From fording the weapon-filled river Gjöll to navigating the mechanical grinding of the World Mill, Ian approaches his trials in the afterlife as a series of project milestones. This 10th Anniversary Edition follows a reserved man forced out of his comfortable grooves to face the glitches of a world system left devastated and nearly emptied by the Ragnarök. John describes himself now as "the evolutionary result of Paperboy to Grocery Store Worker to Professional College Student to Magazine Editor to Computer Night Operator to Jr. Database Programmer to System Administrator to Computer Consultant to College Professor to Dean of Information Technology to Retired Old Guy Who's Really Not Old Enough To Be Retired." He's always been around writing and has used it daily in his professional life. He's used it in his leisure time, too, often when he plotted out D&D adventures that he and his players communally craft together around the dining room table and on Zoom. John's always loved stories, always had them forming, churning, and reshaping in his brain. It wasn't until he began closing in on an early retirement (for health reasons) that he began to get those stories out of his head and into text documents and then released into the world through ePublishing.You can visit with John on Facebook. He'd love to hear from you regarding his written work (and your hobbies), and he would greatly appreciate it if you could write reviews for his books. Ask him for free coupons if you need them.
