The Life and Chaos of a Retired Old God: Humour, Magic and Old Gods Who Should Know Better: A Collection of Norse God Short Stories
About this ebook
In this collection of short stories, Ernie struggles to live a quiet life as Death loses his scythe, a genie wants a holiday, and Ernie’s family keeps dropping in. Then there’s Ragnarok. Because who doesn't need an end-of-the-world event to keep things calm and quiet?
But it doesn't stop there. This collection contains a brand new bonus short story where Ernie is asked to mediate a feud between Dragons. With tensions running high, maybe the poker game hadn’t been the best idea.
Also included in this collection are a series of flash fiction originally published on my blog. Follow Ernie as he deals with Cupid shooting the wrong person, Wererabbits for April Fools, Santa stuck in the chimney, and what happens to snowmen when the weather changes.
The Life and Chaos of a Retired Old God is a collection of humorous short stories where Ernie learns that quiet is the last thing he’s going to get.

About the author
Come for the chaos. Stay for the heart.
While cats stalk phoenixes across the breakfast table and werewolves dig up the garden to torment her chihuahua, stories are already forming—layered with myth, emotion, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.
Jemma Weir is a Scottish indie author of paranormal romance and urban fantasy with bite: magic is messy, love is fierce, and family means everything. Her characters are flawed, loyal, and unforgettable—shaped by legend and stitched with sass and suspense while the Scottish wind howls outside her writing room.
Her series include Highland Rift Pack, where protective shifters, tangled loyalties, and emotional stakes collide, and Death and Visions, a gritty urban fantasy detective saga set in Edinburgh, where solving murders means confronting psychic visions, buried trauma, and ghosts that won’t let go. Her stories explore loyalty, longing, and the kind of love that claws its way through darkness. Expect Scottish mist, fractured memories, and truths that refuse to stay buried.
Fantasy was her first love. Now she writes the kind of stories she always wanted to read—gritty, heartfelt, and just a little unhinged.
