[Ansteorra-announce] Holiday Reading (Blatantly Commercial)

[Scott Farrell]

My lords, ladies and friend of Ansteorra,
I'll begin by begging you all to forgive the crass commercialism of this
missive ... but, with your kind indulgence, I'd like to invite you all
to take a look at my new book, entitled "We Are Not Amused, Sir
Guillaume!" It is a collection of some of the most memorable
installments from my long-running column in the Caidan kingdom
newsletter - a collection of humorous essays on medieval history,
chivarly, literature and life in and around the SCA in general. I've
been in the Society for more than 20 years, and in this book I have
tried to capture that spirit of enthusiasm and wonder which makes the
Current Middle Ages so delightfully unique. I've also included an
introduction for non-SCA members, as I think this book might be a
pleasant way of "explaining" to co-workers, relatives, spouses, and so
forth, why we all spend so much time and energy on the SCA - sometimes
to the determent of our own careers, finances and relationships. (At
least, that's *my* excuse for never becoming a high-powered editor in
some New York publishing firm.)
Anyway, I hope you'll take a moment to consider my book, which is
available at www.KnownWorldWeb.com; you can read a review (by noted SF
author Robert W. Franson, no less!) at www.Troynovant.com.
I thank you all for your time and attention. We now return you to your
regularly scheduled Kingdom business...
