Here is the link where you can watch our live Patreon interview from earlier this month with Willow Groundwater-Schuldt in which she shared a very informative presentation on the phenomenon of "red gold" in old Germanic languages. Willow has asked that I not post this interview publicly on Youtube, so this interview will remain a Patreon exclusive.

I'm getting a fair amount of work done on writing this summer for the next title I've announced with Hackett (an Old Norse language instructional book). Hackett and I also have another surprise release for you later this summer; I think that will be announced probably in July and available in August. 

I'm lining up some more interviews for you, too, especially in the latter half of July.

For now, I hope everyone is doing well, and please know that I'm thankful for your support and wishing you the very best.

P.S. My Patreon messages don't work. I don't get notifications for them, and there's nothing on my home page to show me when there is or isn't a message. I can't even always see them when I check for them manually, and you won't see it if I reply! The best ways to get in touch are: a) just to comment on posts like this, b) to post in the  Community page, or c) to email my assistant Stella at [admin AT JacksonWCrawford.com]--remember the 'W' between my first and last names in that domain name.

A topic that provides an unexpectedly vivid glimpse at the medieval mind. As for the Old Norse textbook - that's interesting news. I knew it was on the cards but hadn't realised it was the official next project. There's still no sign of the Todd Krause textbook for unknown reasons and I now have major doubts about whether it'll ever happen. I came across an advanced listing for his book on Amazon way back in 2017 believe it or not, and had it pre-ordered for a whole year 😑 I was a big *fan of another title in the same series - 'Complete Old English' - so I thought 'Complete Old Norse' might be a similar offering. I still think 'Complete Old English' is the best introduction to an historical language for a general audience I have ever come across

I have never heard anything about what happened to Krause's book either.

A trip onto Google reveals that the publishers of his would-be book pre-listed it on multiple vendor sites, including Amazon, and of course it has now slipped into an "unavailable" limbo on them all. I messaged the publishers on social media a couple of times trying to establish whether there was any kind of release date in the pipeline but only got increasingly impatient "we're working on it!" responses. Shame really, it could/ would have been great. (PS: I meant "I was a big *fan" of course)

Speaking of orance around 50 min in. Orange in modern Icelandic = Appelsínugulur. The acutal meaning of the compound word, once you break it down. "Apple from China yellow". Because oranges were apples from China. (That might have been borrowed from Danish or another Scandinavian language)
