New publishing contracts

There are now four titles in the new O-Books series: Traditional Witchcraft for Fields and Hedgerows; Traditional Witchcraft for Woods and Forests: SeaChange will be released as Traditional Witchcraft for the Seashore and Means Streets Witchcraft will be repackaged as Traditional Witchcraft for Urban Living. The contracts are signed and all typescripts are with the publisher, so hopefully the whole series will be available both as paperbacks and e-books by the end of the year. And there are more in the pipeline!

Catch Up Time ...

A long delay since the last post but losts of things have been happening. Firstly, Mean Streets Witchcraft was launched at the end of 2010 and an excellent book it is, too. Copies can be ordered direct from O-Books (www.o-books.com) or from Amazon. An author is always a bit nervous about a book coming out with a new publisher, but O-Books have exceeded all expectations ...

I also have just agreed to do a regular 'letters' page for Marian Pearce's Pentacle magazine. This will be more in-depth than the usual 'what colour candle do I use ...' Pentacle is the UK's leading independent pagan magazine and Marian is an old chum from way back. It will be good to be working with her again.

The final proof for Sea Change has just been received and I'm looking forward to seeing it in print later this year.

Books - Update

Already had the author's copy for The Dictionary of Magic and Mystery and this has been approved and returned to the publishers. Looking forward to seeing Mean Streets Witchcraft, which is due out on 31st October.

Book News - Update

Mean Streets Witchcraft will be published on 31st October and I have just received the first proofs for SeaChange, so things are beginning to move that front, although it won't be published until 2011. Have also completed the first draft of the main text for The Dictionary of Magic and Mystery and there is a total of 3113 entries; just need to add 26 mini-features and it will be off to O-Books with number 3!

Another new book for O-Books

Just received the contract for another new title for O-Books. This time it's The Dictionary of Magic & Mystery - a doorstep of a book with over 3000 entries and lots of mini-features. This started off as a personal reference and just grew but it shows that no matter how much you think you know, you actually know nothing in the greater scheme of things. This should be available sometime in 2011 but it's rather an exciting project as most esoteric dictionairies tend to be flimsy things and I want this to be the best! Watch this space.

We're back on the internet!

The new Temple of Khem website is now up and running with all the links in place. Go to www.templeofkhem.com to see the results.

Good news is that we have managed to 're-acquire' the original .com address for TOK, which was lost due to the total mismanagement of the original website. We'd heard that an American organisation had bought the web address but recently found that it was available once more. It's now re-registered to TOK and as soon as we can produce a new website, TOK will be back on the web again ... but this time we will be in control. It was sad to lose the old site as a lot of work (and money) had gone into its creation, but we must look forward and not back ... the new site will run in conjuction with the MD blog for content and updates.
