The Avalon Cycle
A mash-up of Arthurian legend, Norse mythology, and the Celtic pantheon of heroes and deities, The Avalon Cycle is an engaging and epic story told over eight books with a twist: it is a bawdy tale in the tradition of limerick jokes and books like Fool by Christopher Moore. A palate cleanser after the somewhat serious tone of The Clovir Cycle, The Avalon Cycle is about fun and laughs, though the story is still full of reflections on the human condition. Be advised: the jokes are numerous and sexuality focused. An early reviewer of The Yoga of Strength, Andrew Marc Rowe’s debut novel, said that the author had a crotch obsession in reference to the sexual content. Andrew has doubled down on that criticism, albeit in a humourous way.
The Cycle Format
A quick note about the way I write my cycles. Essentially, there is a total of eight interrelated books set within the world of each cycle. That includes the introductory novella (part of the main book of the trilogy in every cycle except the Clovir Cycle) and a trilogy of novels, and a “Tales of” series of short story collections.
If you fall in love with the world and want the complete experience, read the entire cycle. If you just want to read the main story, check out the trilogy. If you want some bite-sized chunks to digest, check out the ‘Tales Of’ stories.
