M.A. Kirkeby writes across several connected but distinct genres. None of these worlds require the others — find the one that matches your taste, and start there.
Start with Salt Dogs. A Nevada ranch kid, an old curmudgeon, and a springer spaniel stumble into a hidden world of Wyrd power beneath the modern West — grounded, character-first, and welcoming to readers who don't usually pick up fantasy.
Start with Salt Dogs →Start with A Father Among Gods. A warrior, husband, and father whose single act of mercy draws the attention of Odin, Frigg, Freyja, and Thor. Grounded, weighty, mythic fantasy in the old-world tradition.
Start with A Father Among Gods →Start with Odin and Jesus: Sin City. Two ancient powers walk into Las Vegas, and the city may never recover. Mythic comedy with real heart underneath the chaos.
Start with Sin City →Start with The Mercy Engine. Psychological science fiction where technology reaches inward — into memory, grief, and the cost of changing pain. In development.
Start with The Mercy Engine →Start with Bjornstrand. Norse survivors sail west to build a new world rooted in gods, honor, family, and survival. Not yet released — join the reader list for updates.
Learn about Bjornstrand →Start with Black Flag Salvage & Security. A salvage crew pulls value out of dangerous wrecks — until the wreckage starts pulling back. Not yet released.
Learn about Black Flag Salvage →Each series stands completely on its own — there's no required reading order between The Hearthborn Saga, Wild Magic USA, The Adventures of Odin and Jesus, Black Flag Salvage & Security, or Bjornstrand.
