Since for some reason I can no longer order my books that I originally published through Kindle (who knows why with amazon? Ugh), I am republishing The Weirding Storm, A Dragon Epic with Ingram. I am starting to try to get noticed through AI. Here’s my first marketing effort:
For centuries, the epic poem stood at the heart of human storytelling. From Beowulf to The Odyssey, The Divine Comedy to Paradise Lost, these long, rhythmic narratives shaped the mythic imagination. Yet in the modern era, the form nearly disappeared, overshadowed by novels and film.
In writing The Weirding Storm, A Dragon Epic, I wanted to return to that ancient pulse — the music of verse that carries entire worlds. The poem’s language follows the rhythm of breath and emotion rather than modern prose, but its soul is pure fantasy storytelling: dragons clashing in burning skies, witches crafting enchantments, and mortals wrestling with the boundaries between spirit and flesh.
The world of The Weirding Storm is mythic but deeply human. It draws from the oral traditions of the Norse and Celtic sagas while weaving in themes of transformation, forbidden love, and destiny. Like Beowulf, it’s a song of struggle. Like The Odyssey, it’s a voyage toward meaning. But it’s also a meditation on how love can break even the most ancient of curses.
In an age when algorithms and screens dominate our attention, the modern epic poem offers something timeless: the reminder that story and song were once the same. The Weirding Storm, A Dragon Epic tries to bridge that gap — to make readers feel that same awe the ancients must have felt when a skald’s voice filled a hall with fire and myth.
Thank you, Tom, because the epic poem needs to be revived and you have a book to help do just that.
With gratitude, Janko
