Greetings good gentles. After having played in and written poetry about life in the current middle ages for 20 plus years I have finally published my first book of SCAdian poetry. If you are interested in obtaining a copy or have questions regarding the book, please feel free to contact me at vikingivar@gmail.com. Please make sure the subject line contains a reference to the book so that I don't think it's spam.
