Hi Peoples,
I am very chuffed to announce my first book is at the final stages of
publication and is ready for pre-order from Carolina Academic Press.
Its called "Sign of the Witch: Modernity and the Pagan Revival". Its
loosely based on my PhD thesis, albeit with lots of rewrites and
restructuring and updating with new books etc. Essentially it traces
through the evolution of representations of witchcraft which led to the
formation of Pagan revivals from the end of the trials, through the
enlightenment denigration of folklore and the supernatural, through the
romantic response, 1920's occultism and finally to the 60's counter
culture and modern pop wicca etc.
You can order it online etc on http://www.cap-press.com/books/1772
Anyway the publishers have asked to me to recommend blogs, distributors
etc who might be interested so any suggestions are most welcome. (Being
very very new to the whole publishing game so to speak)
Anyway I am very chuffed with it all and hope to have broken the ice on
the book writing game.
David
