The publisher said that whenever I get it to them, they’ll start there and get rolling on putting it into production. But I know myself, and if I don’t have some kind of deadline, I can procrastinate indefinitely. So I decided to finish the book in May. Which means, today being the 31st, that I’m frantically working on getting all the details straight (or I will be, once I get home to my laptop, clean the kitchen, and get dinner made).

And despite the title, I’m sure that the book will appeal to a wider audience than those who consider themselves Pagan.
