New eBook on the Vulgar Tongue

Posted on by

As language changes, so do the terms used to describe the human body, particularly in the day-to-day, non-medical context. The terms you’ll find in this book are a mix of current and obsolete slang from the English-speaking world – some dating back to the birth of the language and others that would be right at home in the 18th century Vulgar Dictionary. However, this book is not an exhaustive survey of anatomical slang but offers more than one hundred examples of the absurdity and humor of colloquial terminology.

Good-bye Maeflowers

Posted on by

Maeflowers started as a personal blog around 25 years ago before Alicia focused her commentary on healthcare and the medical field. It was branded over 10 years ago and spread in the last 5 years under Aliconia to include a Medium publication and Quora space in addition to the original blog.

But it’s time to say good-bye. Maeflowers is being phased out – the blog is already back under Alicia’s name as a personal space. The Medium publication will similarly become a personalized commentary space. However, the Quora space will remain as Maeflowers Health and Science for archival purposes for at least the immediate future.

The name Maeflowers was coined as a pun on Alicia’s middle name. It was then oriented and branded to become a health science liaison. But as time moves on, goals change and adjust to the environment in which they are enacted. Alicia will continue posting commentary and information on health and science on Medium. She is also the author at JustFacts and is planning an anatomy series for homeschool lessons. The work remains though the banner changes.

Coming Soon – New printing of Cousins of Nunney Castle

Posted on by

On December 30, the 2nd edition of Cousins of Nunney Castle will become available from D2D. The first edition will still be available at Lulu into at least the first half of 2026, but this second edition will allow the book to be purchased via other retailers and sites.

The new edition has no content changes – it’s a new edition because of the new ISBN for the new printer. It’s a smaller binding than the first edition and has a different cover, but it is still paperback and b&w.

The retail price via D2D will be US$17.99. The price at Lulu remains US$12.99.

The link to the new printing will be posted on our account at BlueSky when it becomes available.
