A while ago Aunty Fox sat down with MMA coach Nathan Leverton and said ‘what if…’

Well you know how that goes here at Fox Spirit. We now have a new imprint and sister site www.foxglovesmartialarts.com or www.foxsglovesbooks.com focussing on martial arts for MMA. Vulpes will continue to focus on HEMA while FoxGloves will look at the more modern combat sport side of martial arts.

We have an amazing line up of coaches writing manuals and memoirs so please take a moment to check it out.

The Pseudopod Cake

I love the authors I work with, they are amazing writers and fantastic people and they continue to surprise me.

With our last release of 2012 Alasdair held an apocalypse launch party with cake. Seriously folks, I’ve never seen a Fox Spirit book cover that was quite this sweet before. I love it! Best cake ever!
