The Legend of Astridr: Birth
A CREATIVES SERIES NOVELLA
Before the Allegiance came Astridr, whose legend began long before her birth.
When the imprisoned seer Sonja is liberated by thirteen Viking warriors, a storm takes the lives of her rescuers and she’s left dying and alone. The fae prince Hakon hears her cries—as does Freyja, goddess of the underworld, who arrives to negotiate for Sonja’s soul.
In love and sacrifice, Sonja survives to bear a daughter, Astridr—while the bargain between the fae prince and the goddess lays the foundation for an immortal’s legend.

The Devil And The Muse

Welcome to the music inspired by the characters in my stories. The songs are either written by myself or my husband, Brian Beverly, who is also the producer.
Enjoy!

I've worked as a costume designer and stylist for an amazing array of creative dynamos including photographer Herb Ritts; directors Joel and Ethan Coen, David Fincher, and Julien Temple; and music icons David Bowie, Madonna, and Tina Turner. I taught art and theater in high schools, and I'm a contributor to The Huffington Post and a book reviewer for The New York Journal of Books. These days I live with my family in Ojai, California, and spin stories for my readers' pleasure as well as my own. 

When I'm not writing or reading (I have a fascination with Jung), I'm cooking, painting, or on walkabout--preferably in Italy. 

I love to hear from readers. You can find me via my website at www.mandyjacksonbeverly.com.
