Paul Finch reviews WOLF OF WESSEX!

"Rich in atmosphere, beautifully written and packed with intense combat. Great escapist fun in the best axe-wielding tradition."

An die Autor*innen die ihre SP Bücher mit crowd funding finanziert haben, wie waren da eure Erfahrungen?

Wie sieht es mit dem Druck aus, etwas fertigstellen zu müssen? Starten wenn es eh schon fertig ist oder im Prozess?

Nicht überall vielleicht. Ich hatte mir die Liste irgendwann mal von BlueSky kopiert. Die Bücher waren in unterschiedlichen Staaten verboten.

Auf das letzte bin ich durch Zufall gestoßen, weil ich nach zeitgenössischen Einblicken in die Pestwelle gesucht habe. Sicher ziemlich morbide und deprimierend, aber wahrscheinlich auch mit einem Hoffnungsschimmer am Ende.

I'm going to try a Substack Live this afternoon!

My plan is to promote the ‘A Whole Lot of History’ newsletter that I write for History Hit on Substack.

The location will be the remarkable collection of Viking-Age Govan Stones in the cathedral-like Govan Old church in Glasgow.

In den USA verbotene Bücher (Fahrenheit 451 habe ich gerade gelesen, jetzt ist The Handmaid's Tale dran) und einen persönlichen Bericht eines Landpriesters in den Zeiten der ersten Pestwelle Englands (John Hatcher: The Black Death).

Welsh bowmen had such a fearsome reputation long before Agincourt — and also at the hobelars, fast-moving mounted spearmen who fought alongside them in a very effective, very un-knightly style of warfare. from The History Squad
