<DIV>Greetings.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A new non-fiction book about the SCA has just been released. It includes a
large chapter on Gulf Wars.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As an officer in your local group, I hope you will pass the word on to your
populace.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>The Knights Next Door: Everyday People Living Middle Ages Dreams</EM>
is a first-person travelogue through the Known World, combining profiles of
members, the story of a young fighter's bid for Knighthood and the Crown and my
attempts as a total-mundane newcomer (reporter for the Cleveland Plain Dealer
newspaper) to make sense of the modern medieval world.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>The Knights Next Door</EM> is available in hardcover and paperback.
Details are at <A title=http://www.knightsnextdoor.com/
href="http://www.knightsnextdoor.com/">http://www.knightsnextdoor.com/</A>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For the book, I interviewed many of the leaders of the Society,
ranging from Pennsic autocrats to multiple Crown winners to Society "founder"
Diana Listmaker. A more complete list is on the web site.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope the result will be helpful to newcomers and veterans alike. Most of
all, I hope it does this Society and its members justice.</DIV>
