Dear Booksellers and Retailers,

We are a tiny independent “craft” publishing house.
We would love to work directly with you, since megacorporations often don’t work for the “small people.”
Most of our books are paperbacks. Some are “limited editions”
- Most of our books are priced at $19.99 or $20.
- Big fat novels are priced at $29.99
- Some limited editions are less limited and now retail for $11.99
For the complete list, please check out our price sheet
Our books are mostly non-returnable. Yes, we know that many bookstores rely on the ability to return unsold books. Honestly, we can’t afford that. We’re happy to help you sell tons and tons of books.We are slowly adding our sell sheet info online (click here).
For info about a particular title, please get in touch.
Send an email to [email protected] and we’ll answer all your questions.
We’ll gladly set up signings and readings! Send an email to Lou Pop [email protected]
