Pre-orders open next month

Things are chugging away with our very first book: Oaths and Offerings: A Carnyx anthology of folklore! We're busy proofreading, chatting with printers, and preparing to open for pre-orders around the middle of April.

Pre-orders are so valuable to little presses like ours. They help with the costs of printing and marketing, giving us a much-needed boost in the final stages of getting the book out in the world. So, once pre-orders open, we hope you don't mind popping an order in!
