In the world of Magician and Fool, last year I completed the sequels: High Priestess and Empress (with Florence Farr and Ellen Terry as muses) and just this week, I completed the unedited third book: Emperor and Hierophant (with Bram Stoker and Ahmed Pascal Kamal). I'll be making revisions and edits to these two books before I send them out to contacts who have expressed an interest in the trilogy and possibly the entire series (11 books!). I am also open to other resources who might be interested in the series, so please don't hesitate to have them contact me. 

 So far this year, I was interviewed for the Biddy Tarot podcast, published article for Kindred Spirits Magazine, and gave several lectures on Pamela Colman Smith, most recently for the New York Chapter of the Historical Novel Society. I'll have more lectures and appearances throughout the year. You can keep track of them via my twitter account @MagicianFool and the Facebook account: Magician and Fool, the series.

A wonderful biography on Pamela Colman Smith, with contributions by Stuart Kaplan, Mary Greer and Elizabeth Foley O'Connor, was published by U.S. Games, Inc. this month. It contains much of Pamela's artwork and her life's story. Here is a link to order it: https://www.amazon.com/Pamela-...

Just a year ago, I had finished the Mystical Britain tour and was preparing to go to London to launch the book at Watkins Books. I can never thank you enough, all of you, for your support and enthusiasm for Magician and Fool. It has been a thrilling ride and I appreciate each and every one of you. I will leave you with this haunting statue of King Arthur on the grounds of the hotel in Cornwall, the Castle Camelot, where our tour group stayed and where we communed with Pamela in the bar. This is also the very hotel where Pamela Colman Smith pitched ideas to Sir Henry Irving.

Sending you all my thanks and appreciation!
