Events

Forgotten Rites Publishing shows up in person. Both Donald Quill and D.R. Quill titles at one table. Come find us.


Spring 2026


May 1 — Beltane / Blade and Bone Launch Day

Online — not a faire

The book launches on May 1, Beltane. This date wasn’t chosen for the aesthetics. It’s the great threshold festival of the Irish and Norse tradition, the night when fire travels across the land and the border between worlds goes thin. Watch BookTok and the newsletter for launch day content.


May 2–3 — Cape May Renaissance Faire

4H Fairgrounds, Cape May, NJ
Hours: 11:00 am – 6:00 pm both days

The first faire after launch weekend. Blade and Bone will be available in person here for the first time. Signed copies. Both brands.


May 9 — Fairy & Renaissance Festival

Veterans Memorial Park, Clarksburg, WV
Hours: 12:00 pm – 8:00 pm

The season opens here. Both brands will be at the table: Irish mythology fiction, nonfiction for practitioners, and D.R. Quill’s Viking romantasy. This is the first public appearance ahead of the Blade and Bone launch on May 1.

What to expect at the table

Both brands. Donald Quill’s Irish mythology titles (fiction and nonfiction) alongside D.R. Quill’s Viking romantasy.

I’m happy to talk mythology, Irish Pagan practice, romantasy, writing, or Renaissance Faire culture. That’s what the table is for. If you want to stand there and tell me about your own practice or your own writing, that’s genuinely fine too.

Signed copies available at every event. Cash and card both work.

The faire schedule can shift. New events get added. The newsletter is the most reliable way to know where we’ll be next.
