Ragnarok and a Hard Place

Cassie Zukav came to Key West, Florida for a two-week vacation and never left. She spends her days as a dive master at a scuba diving place and her nights at Mayor Fred's Saloon in Old Town watching 1812, the house band, rock the joint.And in between, she spends a lot of time dealing with crazy stuff. Having been informed that she's a Dís-a Norse fate goddess-Cassie's life is awash in mythical beasts, strange spirits, and a rather alarming number of Norse gods.Here are eight stories of Cassie's adventures in Key West, plus a dozen vignettes. See her encounters with a homicidal nixie, a possessed doll, a lost mermaid, a very loud dragon, and a vengeful demon, as well as the usual nonsense involving various and sundry gods from Thor's drunken exploits to Tyr's bizarre new career as a stock car racer to Sigyn's coming into her own as 1812's drummer to Loki's past coming back to haunt everyone on more than one occasion.A new collection by USA Today best-selling, award-winning author Keith R.A.
