NEWSFLASH: NEW LOKI BOOK!

Plus some real life Lokis, Valeries and Thors

A BAD GOD’S GUIDE TO UNRULY ACTIVITIES

Today, I have a new book out! It answers the question, what if Loki wrote a puzzle book? And the answer is every bit as chaotic as you can imagine.

Buy it HERE And HERE! Or at your local indie bookshop if you’re blessed with one of those truly divine places.

With 50 puzzles, games and quizzes, including tips on how to draw Loki and the gang, a viking name generator, some rules for pranking and a quiz to test your knowledge of Loki and his friends. Plus - because Thor gets involved - lots of hammers.

As a special bonus, there’s a brand new short story shedding light on the day Loki came to earth. Why DID he cut off Sif’s hair? What special power did Odin gift to his son Thor in mortal form? And how did Odin know it was Loki who did the snippy deed? Answers begin on page 78 of the book. Along with suggestions of all the stories Loki COULD tell one day…

When kids ask how many Loki books there will be, I sometimes reply - if I’m in a puckish mood - “depends how many Loki books people BUY”. It’s true though! I rely on every single Loki reader to buy Loki books so I can tell the story at the scale I want to tell it. Which is at least NINE books in total.

So. Buy Loki! Help Loki’s story reach its true grand scale!

ON WORLD BOOK DAY, LOKI’S WORLD BECAME REAL

Speaking of readers, Loki and friends have been walking the earth during World Book Day celebrations. A collection of readers have kindly sent me their pics. Feast your eyes on the Loki glory!

This Loki has a book and is not afraid to use it for mischief… it’s book 3, so watch out, this is Loki under the control of a cursed ring…

The curse continues! The ring of Andvari promises terrible things from this very bad god with very good hair!

A very powerful Loki here. Look how high the hair! And those hands promise mischief. A spell? Or a particularly tricksy transformation?

Loki with a t shirt matching book one and a whoopee cushion no doubt destined for a teacher’s bottom, and an out-of-universe friend, Abigail Balfe of A Different Sort of Normal.

This high-haired Loki has a VERY cheeky grin but claims he is not doing anything wrong, and if he is, you didn’t see him do it anyway. It was someone else. He wasn’t even there!

I do not trust this Loki ONE LITTLE BIT. Beware. He will sew fish into your curtains.And what’s in that bag? No doubt something that will make someone’s life a pranked up misery. Look at him rubbing his hands together. That can mean nothing good.

VALERIE! What a fine Valerie! She is ready, willing and able to find the truth about aliens! Then save the world from giants.

This Valerie is older, wiser and knows the truth about gods. She won’t tell, though, she’s no grass. She holds book 3 because you KNOW she saves the day there (I’m assuming anyone reading this newsletter doesn’t mind spoilers…ahem sorry if you do, too late)

A thor in the wild! Thor-coloured hair too! And an excellent hammer. Seeing this Thor’s jacket is making me feel mean that I draw my characters in t shirts in almost all weathers. Maybe in book 5 they should get coats? Occasionally. As a treat. Book five IS set in February after all…

This Loki is ready to duel with Vinir. He aint afraid of no elf. (OK he probably is inside but he’s putting on a very brave and cheeky front.)

Check out the incredible spikes on this Loki! The higher the hair, the closer to Asgard! Though given how cheeky he looks I’m not sure he’s getting back to to Asgard any time soon, sorry. Great hair though.

Last but not least…It’s GOD LOKI! Before the fall from Asgard, this stylish god stalked the halls of Asgard. One day, perhaps he will return? If he’s very, very good. Do you think he will get enough virtue points to ever get back? In the meantime, GREAT suit.

And Loki, the eternal show off, would not forgive me if I didn’t end this newsletter by reminding you to BUY MY NEW BOOK. Chaos! Horses! Insults! Pranks! Poo!

Until next time, stay chaotic,
