Four New Titles from Freelance Academy Press
Dear Friends, Students of the Sword and Lovers of History! As many of you know, the latter part of 2013 was a difficult time for the press, as we dealt with deaths in the family, illness and personnel changes. We hit the deck running this spring, however, and are very happy to announce not one, not ...

Interview on Persian Archery, Swordmanship and Martial Arts
Hi all, I just posted an interview that we did for the Freelance blog with Dr. Manoucher Khorasani regarding his work researching and reconstructing traditional Persian fighting arts. I thought it might interest some here: http://freelanceacademypress.wordpress.com/2013/06/21/razmafzar-persian-marti...

Honestly, folks, the website issue is secondary, and misses the point. As I already said: 1.

Brian Price, not me, is the one who asserts as ...

Re: Chivalry Bookshelf-Author Resolution,or "Don't Buy My Bo
There are also non-technical reasons why it would continue to be owned by Brian Price, but I just wanted to point out that there's some potential technical gray areas with the information we have currently that could explain why everything is still as it currently is. Saritor, I agree, but would po...

Well, then short strokes - if Jeff gets the rights, but can't get the new owners to reprint, we'd do it in a heartbeat. I love that work, and the irony is - I no longer own a copy!

Re: Chivalry Bookshelf-Author Resolution,or "Don't Buy My Bo
Two other points of clarity:
1. Remember, Jeffrey's book that we got the rights back to was I.33, Meyer was published by Greenhill.
2. There obviously already *is* another publisher out there - us! Really, Freelance was created precisely because we couldn't do business with the Prices any longer.

Luca, In the end I always new that there was a reasonable likelihood that when Luca P dropped out, I might be caught in a Catch-22. In the end, the goal of all the authors was to simply make it known what really happened and to end a constant pattern of predation by Brian Price. If we've done that, ...
