[The Darklord]

THought I would mention these places

www.mongoosepublishing.com - purveyors of rpgs of various types - some familiar names there too as well as new stuff.

www.grippingbeast.com - fine dark ages miniatures and some other bits n bobs

Black tree design (look it up yourself) reasonable priced various ranges of figures including some that look like they were intended for a certain little known fantasy battle wargame, erm something like war axe (or was it hammer? Hmm) But I like them for the dark age stuff.

The larp alliance - source of links to other clubs and more

oh forgot to mention www.lulu.com - an online book publisher thats worth a look.  A wide selection of all sorts really and the nice thing is you can publish yourstuff on there and get paid.  People order the book or whatever they want, its published and you get your money.  Easier than getting an agent and publisher because only the numbers ordered get printed though perhaps not as lucrative, its a good stepping stone for budding writers of any type.
