Welcome to CHAPTER 15 of the Kinsmen Die podcast, home of fantasy fiction based on Norse mythology that’s written and read by me, Matt Bishop.In this podcast I read my first novel, Kinsmen Die, one chapter at a time. Every five chapters, I recap the key plot points and provide some insight into the myths I’ve referenced in the book as well as some of the creative choices I’ve made along the way.Here’s a quick summary of where we’re at:Chapter 11: Loki conversed with himself beside the Franangr. He’s up to something with Ygg’s return — Odin’s return — has potentially disrupted.Chapter 12: Hodr sat and conversed with a woman named Alara; they appear to be in an intimate relationship.Chapter 13: Vidar and his war band were attacked by the Jotunn. Vidar used magic — seidr — taught to him by his father.Chapter 14: Odin and Baldr, along with the Einherjar, rode through the city of Gladsheim and headed out to aid Vidar.And, in this chapter we’re back with Vidar who seems to be headed toward a spirited conflict.Please visit the podcast's public site for the episode transcript, which includes the entire chapter.
