Spoiler: King Peter is an Avatar!
Some of my test readers of Vikings of Asgard have asked me about the character King Peter. Here is a partial spoiler; He is an Avatar. But unlike the movie Avatar, anyone that sits in the operator chair can operate him and when no one is in it, the AI runs him. Junior researchers mostly operate him. Asgard is their experiment.

Merry Christmas
Here is an old story from when I was just learning how to tell stories, (but thought I knew what I was doing, and didn’t understand why I could not sell it).
