Description
Fox was twelve when he faked his own death to escape his father Dagr and his precious tugboat, Odin's Tillit. Cloaked in an identity produced from the inside of a tobacco can, he has become a glorified drug mule for Texas lawman Sheriff J. J. Raskin.
Sixteen-year-old Ren is at the helm of Odin's Tillit, pushing rafts of logs and helping the sheriff make his problems disappear. Obligation, destiny, and Odin's Tillit are bloodying the waters of British Columbia's Arrow Lakes.
Fox and Ren know better, want better, but they cannot escape the clutches of the incorrigible or incorporeal forces around them.
As the principals come together, the past threatens to destroy Fox and Ren, even as the sheriff seeks to eliminate them. What does fate have in store for them? Only Odin's Tillit knows.
Advance Praise
Praise from Beta Readers:
"Odin’s Tillit is an engaging read from the very beginning. The characters are met at the start of the story in life or death situations requiring them to take action and survive, or die. The characters prove tenacious and tough, perhaps the rough living. None of the characters in this story live boring, sedentary lives.
Then there’s the boat. As you read about her, she tugs at your mind. Each piece of information about her makes you want to meet her, has you wondering if she is good or evil. The boat is as much a character as Fox, the main protagonist, a victim and hero of circumstance and his buddy Mallory, who there’s more to than meets the eye.
Enter a mysterious stranger from Texas, a man with a plan and an offer. Will it be the game-changer Fox hopes it will be or the biggest mistake he’s ever made in his entire life? Their story takes you from the cold of Canada to the heat of Mexico and back again. There’s action, intrigue, old love, new love and the root-work that is family. In this story, the line is fine between angels and demons and good and a little better. There’s a theme of redemption and hope running through it as well as a twist of the supernatural.
If you liked puzzles as a child, you’ll love the way the elements of this story all come together to create a sometimes dangerous, sometimes hilarious and sometimes tumultuous tale that is a treat for anyone who likes adventure and adventurers."

I'm only giving four stars because it does get a bit confusing at times, with all the switching back and forth between different times and places, and I reserve five-star reviews for books that are as close to perfect as is humanly possible, in my absolute favorite genres .
