ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Escape to Valhalla was written by debut author, Margaret O'Brien, and created at the end of 2025 and published in early February 2026. The book was entirely written by human hands.

Escape to Valhalla could be read as a standalone story; however, a trilogy is in progress to be out before Fall 2026.
