The Third Annual Ashland Mini-Faire & Wilton Library!
April 16, 2026 - On Saturday, May 2 at 10am, I'll be at the Ashland Library in Massachusetts (66 Front Street, Ashland, MA) for their mini Ren Faire! You can find me in a prominent spot, near the folks from Old Sturbridge Village. I hope I'll see you there!

​And if not, I'll be at the Wilton Public Library teaching about Colonial cooking on May 5, at 7pm. Come on by and taste a bit of history!

January 20, 2026 - Check out my recipe for Standing Paste Crust!

The calendar has been updated as of: April 16, 2026.


The Tavern Anthology
The Turning Leaf Tavern anthology is currently on pause while I finish my nervous breakdown. It's been a very hectic summer and autumn, and I am recovering from a lot of things. Please be patient with me, but know that I am absolutely still doing this!

I have made the first cut and informed everyone who made it and didn't make it. There will be a second cut coming once I catch my breath and get healthy again. At that point, we'll start the editing in earnest. I cannot emphasize how amazing the stories are that have been submitted, and the recipes as well. 

Look for more info here as we get funding and publish the book!

For more details about the anthology, check out
The Turning Leaf Tavern page. 

Lessons in Writing
If you're interested in the writing "lessons," I'll be adding them once in a while. It will be somewhat hit or miss, as I'm chest deep in a morass of writing, right now (never a bad thing!). 

Lesson One: From Head to Paper
Lesson Two: Preparing to Write
​
Lesson Three: Start Writing
Lesson Four: Creating a World

Allyson's Writing Tips:

"Dress for the job you want," does not mean you get to wear fantasy gear into the office. On the other hand, you may find yourself offered work at a fantasy village, so consider it!
