Everyone can't be right.
Carl Martell is a historian because he's uncomfortable in the present. This is not because he's maladjusted (though he is), but because the present order of things makes no sense to him.
The past comes to Carl Martell in the form of Sigfod Oski, a Nobel Prize winning Norwegian poet who is -- or believes he is -- the god Odin. Martell has always suspected that this sort of thing happens in the world, but dealing with it in person is a lot more frightening than facing it in books.
Bringing Odin into the modern world (actually the near future, some time after the turn of the century) gave me the opportunity to play contemporary nonsense off against the realities (good and evil, truth and lies) that live in the stones and the sky and the human heart. "Wolf Time" is not an attempt to predict the future, but to remind people that ideas have consequences, and that our decisions and beliefs matter on a cosmic level.
As an evil wind blows into Epsom, Minnesota, threatening to engulf the inhabitants with dark thoughts and bizarre dreams, Professor Carl Martell, a man who cannot tell a lie, discovers that he is the only one who can stop it. Original.
