-Praise for Skadi meic Beorh

Always After Thieves Watch is a glorious set
of stories in the great tradition of Ray Bradbury!

-John Betancourt, WildSide Press

“Funny and brilliant!”

-Tom English, Editor, Dead Letter Press

“Skadi has a certain swashbuckling style
of humor that few other authors can replicate.
I have just read the opening few pages
of To Be Saved From Witches, and I’m quite
impressed. His prose envelops me like a silk
sheet. I exhort him to be unapologetically
true to his unique period aesthetic; for that
is where he excels. Breaking out the scotch
and settling into the study is the most eager
anticipatory response of which I’m capable,
and indeed, he delivers.”

-Ben Thomas, Writer

“I have had the pleasure of reading Skadi’s
work Always After Thieves Watch. This mixture
of mysticism and fantasy, centering largely
around tales of Hallowe’en, was a joy to
peruse and I am so taken with it that I have
ordered a second copy as a gift for my future
stepdaughter. She is twelve years of age and
I think it will be an ideal addition to her
library. (As well as mine; my being 40 years
of age makes no difference whatsoever!) I
am greatly looking forward to publication
of Skadi’s forthcoming book of piracy,
To Be Saved From Witches, and will be ordering
two copies from the outset. I recommend his
works to anybody with a sense of wonderment
and fun, regardless of age.”

“What I have read of his book To Be Saved
From Witches so far puts me in mind a
bit of The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.”

-Richard Steinmeyer, Librarian, St. Augustine, Florida

“I have never heard words like those
of Skadi meic Beorh. I, like so many others,
am enamored. We all know we have a true poet
among us, and speak of his work as we would
that of Yeats, Blake, and Rumi. We hope that,
like so many bards, his words will not be
withheld from the world until after his death.
The list of dead poets is already far too long.
Skadi brings the prayers and incantations
of a wizened world to our hearts. May his
tales and lessons help to clear the pathways
of our hearts, reach deep into the recesses
of our minds, and bring still greater light
to the world.”

-Prof. David Gilligan, Sterling College, Vermont

“Skadi employs the mythical lyricism
found in J. R. R. Tolkien and Charles de Lint,
and edges it with just the right touch of
nerves and shivers. He pays careful attention
to finding the exact words that transport
the reader from real life into the worlds
his mind creates.”

-Jean Linder, Creative Writing Instructor

-

“Skadi is a fine writer and tradition/myths
and recreations that he draws upon are
intriguing and interesting.”

-Jewell Parker Rhodes, Novelist

-

“Beorh has a way to dance with words… I feel
like I am sitting around a campfire or by my dad’s
feet at storytime.”
