About the Expert
Abigail Bethke couldn't choose between the pen and the sword, so in the end, she decided to wield both! By day, she can be seen galivanting across parks and parking lots, armored from top to toe and clashing swords with her similarly armored fiancé. By night, you might find her hunched over her laptop, typing furiously amongst a pile of half-finished medieval crafts. But no matter where you run into her, she will be happy to talk your ear off about her reenactment friends and the many, many lessons they have taught her. Medieval reenactment has shaped her into the person she is today, and she is delighted to welcome you into her favorite hobby.
