Upcoming Non-fiction Books Announced
We are just about to update our production schedule for the upcoming season. Several new authors have joined our stable, as the publishing industry says, or the birdhouse as we tend to say. And it looks like our next few titles will focus on nonfiction.
Attitude, by Larry Sceurman
The other day, I was at a gathering of old friends. You might say folks of the same spirits. Most of the men and women there were older than sixty-five. I would say seventy plus was the majority. When I walked into the room, the first person I noticed was Old Kenny. I haven’t seenContinue reading “Attitude, by Larry Sceurman”
Phulasso, in the author’s words
As we get publicity and cross-promotion ready for the upcoming event on April 29, people ask me about some of our titles. Phulasso receives a lot of attention because of its unique content and Greek title. So, I invited Thurston to submit his own works about the book. Here is what he said: “The PhulassoContinue reading “Phulasso, in the author’s words”

New and Upcoming Releases Darrell Parry released the expanded second edition of his poetry book Twists: Gathered Ephemera yesterday. TheContinue reading “Let’s see where this goes…”
Celebrating cover design, book design and original art
Today is the coldest day so far this winter, with an actual temperate of six degrees Farenheit and an even lower wind chill. This is doubly surprising to me– even as someone accustomed to winter in the northeast United States– because so far this weekend, little, prone-to-be-cold publisher Angel Ackerman has been going outside inContinue reading “Celebrating cover design, book design and original art”
Yuletide Beginnings
When we launched Parisian Phoenix, we didn’t do extensive research or think about branding. When we thought up our tag line– promoting unique voices and diverse perspectives– it represented what we thought the creative world needed, But we might have been manifesting, to use a trendy term right now. We’re coming to the close ofContinue reading “Yuletide Beginnings”

Some unusual writing craft books you may not know
I thought it would be fun to share a couple of writing craft books that I have saved over the years that aren’t Stephen King’s On Writing or William Zinsser’s On Writing Well or Strunk & White’s Elements of Style. Those are classic writing craft books and if you haven’t read them you should andContinue reading “Some unusual writing craft books you may not know”
