Greg van Eekhout sells first novel to Bantam Dell

Greg van Eekhout sold his first novel, NorseCODE (though he thinks the publisher will change the title to Norse Code), to Juliet Ulman at Bantam Dell. Agent Caitlin Blasdell of Liza Dawson Associates handled the sale.

The author describes the book as "a mythic fantasy in which a minor Norse god, a modern valkyrie, and a Viking thug are pitted against the Norse pantheon in an attempt to stop Ragnarok, the long-ago foreseen destruction of the entire universe. It takes place in contemporary Los Angeles and in many locales from Norse mythology."
