Stories & Books
I write fantasy short fiction featuring a cast of misfits, magical realms, and reimagined folklore.
​
Everyone has a backstory, even the side characters in folktales. From the Queen of the Elves to Iceland’s most notorious troll, my mission is to bring their tales to life in short stories with modern twists.
NOURISH YOUR KNOWLEDGE
The Folklore Forum Podcast
I started this podcast to make folklore and history accessible to anyone who wants to learn more on the topics. While my areas of interest focus on Iceland and Scotland (the roots of my family tree), I enjoy learning from experts in other areas through casual conversation.
I’m a busy mama juggling two kids, family life, and my passions, which is why I love listening to podcasts. They let me learn new things and discover ideas when it’s convenient for me. I hope this show serves you in the same way.
IGNITE YOUR IMAGINATION
The Folklore Forum Academy
Enjoy the freedom to study what you're truly passionate about. In the Folklore Forum Academy, we don't dive into the topics; we wade in slowly, taking in the people, places, and interconnected themes.
This is where story meets history without the academic price tag. And the learning is always at your pace!
MEET THE AUTHOR
Natalie Guttormsson
Author | Wife & Mother | Podcaster | Copywriter
My name is Natalie Guttormsson, and I write fantasy stories steeped in folklore but rooted in history. It is my mission to adapt popular and obscure folk tales for the 21st century. My research and passion for misfits, underdogs, and visionaries inspired me to create a cast of characters that make the writing all the more magical.
