The Re-enactor's Cookbook
Reenacting is enjoying a renaissance these days, with fairs springing up around the country. What better way to display, teach, and enjoy the presentation of the Middle Ages than with food? Food has always brought people together, and it's a way to cross cultural divides in a pleasant way. History often seems very dry and unappealing to people, whereas food will draw in the patrons to see what you're doing!Within, you'll find recipes galore, laid out in an easy-to-read format. You can also read the history behind the recipes, ingredients, and spices mentioned in each section of the book. You can enjoy this as a simple cookbook, as an historical reference piece, or a blend of both. There are practical tips on everything from creating a cooking fire, to what type of cooking vessels to use, to how to make this stuff on your electric stove at home. There's so much to learn and a vast array of new (and sometimes exotic) flavors to try. There's a little something for everyone, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free recipes. Learn how to adapt recipes to fit your diet, and how to make them easy to enjoy while at an event, while camping, or even just at home on a week night. Enjoy a taste of the past in your life today! $19.99 (softcover) | $29.99 (hardcover) | $4.19 (e-book) Available through Amazon. |
There are a growing number of people who are making the choice to live in their vehicles full time. The trend is referred to on social media as #vanlife, and the majority of the people involved do live in vans of some kind or another. There's an inherent freedom in not being tied down to a single spot, and in having a home that travels with you. The rise of the remote worker has made #vanlife a dream come true across the country, and indeed, around the world. Those who have chosen to live the #vanlife do so for many reasons, and it looks beautiful online. There are a number of harsh realities, however. One of those realities is that cooking in a van, car, or RV can be challenging.
Cook Small, Live Large! contains recipes and methods of food preparation designed specifically for those living in a moving home. Emphasis is placed on small meals designed for one or two people, ranging in difficulty from "mostly store bought" to "made from scratch with love." Even desserts have been miniaturized, allowing the #vanlife set to enjoy tiny cakes, cookies, and other sweets and snacks. $24.99 (softcover) | $34.99 (hardcover) | $5.99 (e-book) Available through Amazon. |

The second book in the Taylor, Mage series!
Alexandra Taylor had been through a lot. She'd died, been brought back as a vampire, gotten used to her new nutritional needs, and embraced the darkness in her soul. And then everything changed. A dead body, animated and decaying, has become the central theme of her unlife. She seeks to unravel the mystery of a strange man's death, and how it intertwines with her own vampiric powers. Everything changes... again.

Know yourself. Nothing in excess. Give a pledge and ruin is near. These are the words inscribed on a stele just outside the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Stunning in their simplicity, these Maxims have survived the test of time. Even today, they cause the reader to pause and think about what such short, poignant phrases mean. For those who study Hellenic Polytheism, either in historical or modern religious context, the Delphic Maxims are of great import because they hold a key to understanding early Greek thought. Delving into both the history and the current application of 34 of the Maxims to the creation of personal ethics and morals, Allyson Szabo provides us with a path to personal growth and understanding of the world around us.

Hekate is, without question, one of the most popular goddesses in the world today, worshiped by Hellenic Recons, Wiccans, and Neo-pagans alike. Hekate has many roles and many guises. To some she is a beautiful maiden, to others the dark mother. She has been called the guide of souls; the protector of the home; the giver of wealth; the mistress of powerful magic and frightful witches; the dweller on the threshold and the place where three roads meet.

Metalsmith. Fire-Tamer. Forge-Master. Bronzeworker. Weaponsmaster of the Gods. The Lame One. The Ugly God. Friend of Humanity. He is Hephaestus, the Divine Craftsman. Patient, stout-hearted, and clever, he is the Master of all Metals, the Holy Engineer. Celebrated for his wondrous creations, he is also pitied and teased for his lameness, his unsightly appearance, his estrangement from his family, and his marriage to lovely Aphrodite. But Hephaestus is not a God to be underestimated or ill-used -- a reality understood by his modern devotees. In the pages of this anthology you will find poems, prayers, essays, artwork, and rituals...
