		<description><![CDATA[Some of you may recall a post I wrote back in 2009 about how The Federal Trade Commission will now require bloggers and celebrities to clearly state when they receive cash or "payment in kind" for endorsing a company's products or services.  So in the spirit of 100% absolute disclosure, let me say this.

I am not "fair" or "balanced" when it comes to Deborah Blake.  I guess like most media outlets these days I carry an obvious bias, and that bias is, I love me some Deborah Blake.  I've done interviews with her, she has commented on many of the articles here on The Buffet, she's written original pieces for me, she's generally been a champion of all things "Buffet", and so believe me when I tell you that when it comes to Deborah Blake, her support is definitively "payment in kind".  Oh, and by the way, I just about jumped out of my skin when I saw that I, humble little TheMagicalBuffet.com, is a featured pull quote at the beginning of Blake's latest book, "Everyday Witch A to Z Spellbook: Wonderfully Witchy Blessings, Charms, and Spells."  That's right folks, if you go to your local bookstore and pick up a copy of "Everyday Witch A to Z Spellbook" and look under "Praise for 'The Goddess is in the Details'" you will find, "[A]n engaging read with a lot of heart. -TheMagicalBuffet.com."  Which reminds me, I have a pretty good relationship with some of the folks over at Llewellyn and they send me free stuff to review, including "Everyday Witch A to Z Spellbook".

Which leads us to the obvious question, why should you bother to read my review of Deborah Blake's new book when it's obvious without reading another sentence I'm going to like it?  There are two answers to this question.  One, I only publish reviews for stuff I like, so you knew without reading anything that I must have liked the book if I wrote a review for it, and two, I sometimes say some funny shit, and occasionally even insightful stuff, so you should just go ahead and read it.

		<description><![CDATA[Back in June 2009 I interviewed Alaric Albertsson, author of "Travels Through Middle Earth: The Path of a Saxon Pagon".  When given the opportunity to ask me any question, he asked, "Where can I find a publisher for a very nice deck of Anglo-Saxon rune cards? The man who did the art work for the deck has put in countless hours to ensure that each card illustrated the meaning of the relevant passage in the Anglo Saxon Rune Poem. I really want to see this deck eventually reach its intended audience. Maybe one of your subscribers has the answer?"

I answered, "One place you might want to contact is US Games, they publish loads of awesome decks (many of which get reviewed here on the website). Also, you could always save up some cash, maybe find a few investors, and publish the deck yourself. Thanks to the wonders of the world wide web, you can reach an international market fairly easily."

Well now Alaric is back to let us know how it all turned out!]]></description>
