The Victory Perspective takes the well-known creation story from the bible and turns it on its head. It is written as the “other side” of the story and explores many confronting themes about religion and humanity.[…]
The Beasts of Electra Drive by Rohan Quine takes the reader on an adventure through the life of Jaymi, a video game designer living in Los Angeles, that has ventured out on his own after becoming disheartened by his work with a former employer, Bang Dead Games. Once a programmer for Bang Dead Games, Jaymi now embarks on a journey that takes him deep into a magical world of his own creation, where his Beasts from his games emerge out into the real world, or “meat-space,” as they call it, through his programming.

In Scipio Rising, the first book in the Scipio Africanus Saga, Martin Tessmer has done an expert job of weaving historical fact and narrative into a well-structured plot. The mirroring of Hannibal with Scipio works to weigh them both as military geniuses, bringing the forgotten Scipio to the historical stage that Hannibal has dominated for so long.
The novel is well-paced with carefully drawn characters, which gives the book the entertaining flow of fiction, rather than seeming like a dry retelling of historical events. The prose is clean and smart; Tessmer’s background as a former university professor shines through […]
In Buffalo ’99, Chris Stucchio has created a moody, hard-boiled world in which punk rock, cocaine, and sleeping around are a way of life.

The narrator has a way of speaking reminiscent of Philip Marlowe, but with more sex and less crime. The voice is powerfully visceral, constructing a narrator that you love to […]

The book is rich in information, with facts from the real world and the author’s imaginative fictional world giving the atmosphere of the novel a wholly unique texture. This strange pastiche of […]
Mario Kfoury is a private investor with credentials in martial arts, physical education, real estate, aviation and Technical Analysis. Self-taught in the streets of Beirut, Brussels, London, LA and New York, he synthesizes his views on life through different disciplinary and cultural prisms in favor of a peaceful/secular agnostic Deism. The story he shares appeals for democratic-socialism founded on sensible educational and healthcare systems, rigorous tax regulations; and cautions against the perils of religious beliefs, demography, and the reckless attitude towards the planet and its ecology.

Why did you choose to self-publish?
After hearing back promising no’s from agents, I became sick of playing the submit and wait game. I also figured that even if I were to go through the process of someone else handling the publishing, the marketing would still fall on my shoulders. (And that’s really the hard part anyways). There is, too, a sort of pride […]
