Book Cover Trolls: A Compendium

Fiction/ Illustrated Fantasy/ Mythology / Scandinavian Myth/ Norse Sagas / Scandinavian Folk Lore / Coffee Table Book

Paperback: $45 | Hardcover: $65 | PDF eBook $5

 

Following the Harry N. Abrams, Inc. tradition of the series that created Brian Froud's and Alan Lee's Faeries and Gnomes by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet, we present you with what would have been the next book in the series: Trolls: A Compendium. Trolls—do you think you know what they are? Could you be wrong?

Trolls within Scandinavian lore, myth, saga, fantasy, and folktales are actually anything magical within our northern neighbor's culture. Richly illustrated in this volume are the tales of faeries, dwarves, nissen, huldras, gods, Jotuns, draugar, ghosts, and more. Also, this book introduces our readers to the world of Trollheim, populated by Nattrolls that escaped the 17th-century Swedish colony within the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Narrated by Christopher Jonathan Hulton, who lives in the Thousand Acre Woods just after the Civil War, their tales are filled with Native American lore and tales of their neighbor, the Jersey Devil.

Burnt Toast and Oranges is a long Way from Pork Chops and Apple Sauce...

Barbara Szafranski the Salem Love Psychic photo

We just signed the Salem Love Psychic, Rev. Barbara Szafranski's first book to Salem House Press. Burnt Toast and Oranges; The Miss Adventures of the Salem Love Psychic is a female take on the Journey of the Hero of how one woman gave up the corporate life and Susie Home Maker to follow her calling to start her quest of enlightenment to help the world through Spirit. Barbara gave up her career as an accountant and her marriage after raising her kids to follow her path to bliss. She opened up her own shop in Salem, MA 30 years ago and has since offered spiritual guidance to tens of thousands of people and lectured around the nation.

The book offers confirmation to those who find themselves on a similar path and provides a road map all can follow who are brave enough. It highlights her quest and the strange events that happened along the way. It is a book that allows someone to not feel so strange anymore to believe in the intangible and follow their gut and Spirit to find their own bliss and help others on their way.

New Release

 

Universal Man by Richard Aliberti is still doing strong with its release on Leonardo da' Vinci's 500th Anniversary year. We are also looking forward to finishing up "Don't Invade Russia" by Cory McNeil which will be released around November. It is the tale of an alternative Universe where Stalingrad falls through time to nineteenth century to start the Steel Empire which begins to loom over Europe. Will the powers that be convince Jane Wilkes Booth to kill the emperor? Who knows but it is a great comic historical narrative.

Max Teller's Bog about Everything Flying

Welcome back to my blog about balloons, rocket ships, airplanes, space travel, Star Wars, sci-fi, and everything about flying! This time we will look at some of my favorite space pilots. After you read the list, won't you add some of your favorites!

10 of My Favorite Space Jockeys

10. Maya from Space 1999.  I think she was the first redhead I fell in love with. I would share my balloons with her any day. Maya was a metamorph who could shape shift into a mean ape like creature when she wanted. In that shape she might even get Chewbacca to fall in love with her. She also piloted my favorite space ship of all time the Eagle.

9. Flash Gordon. In 1936 Buster Crabbe had played him in a serial. I used to watch this every Saturday leading into Tom Baker's Doctor Who. He also flew one of my favorite space age pulp fiction rockets.

8. Hawk from Buck Rogers. He also had one of the coolest ships. I always wanted him to hang out with Hawk from Spenser from Hire. Imagine if Commander Cisco was more like Hawk, Deep Space Nine would of been bad ass.. Excuse me.

7. Pappy Boyington From Ba Ba Black Sheep. Now this man got to fly the coolest real plane ever! What more do you have to say!This is the real guy the show was based on!

6. Starbuck from Battlestar Galatica. Card playing, rogue, playboy. He was what Han Solo could of been. Plus he had a cool ride.

5. Sky Captain from Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Great humor and great plane. Humor and modesty always wins me over. Even if he had a little thing on the side with Angela Jolie...

4. Mark from Battle of the Planets. Cool bird costume. He stands up a bit above Jason, Jason came off like he wanted to be Han Solo.

3.Nick Ryder from Riptide. You have to be cool to be able to play off the fact you a flying a pink belching helicopter named Mimi.

2.MacReady from The Thing. Granted he only flew the helicopter rarely in The Thing, but he is one of the coolest characters ever. Specially how he tells off the alien in the end before he throws a stick of dynamite at him. (My father is watching me now, I got away with cursing once already...)
