Our Mission
We cherish stories that keep us reading, that fill our hearts with joy, that keep us up at night to finish a chapter. Love, adventure, intrigue, mystery . . . stories that capture the human condition. Our mission is to publish stories that keep us reading.
The Power of Books
"I grabbed my book and opened it up. I wanted to smell it. Heck, I wanted to kiss it. Yes, kiss it. That's right, I am a book kisser. Maybe that's kind of perverted or maybe it's just romantic and highly intelligent." Sherman Alexie in The Absolute True Diary of a Part Time Indian.
Throughout the centuries, books have captured our imagination and interest. They are more than words on a page. The stories they tell are more than characters and plots. Books inspire. They are . . .
. . . the means to happiness.
"I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library." Jane Austen

. . . the pass to freedom.
"Books were my pass to personal freedom." Oprah Winfrey
. . . the truth.
"Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all." Abraham Lincoln
. . . way to magic.
