The December Update

Well, it's December and a fantastic 2010 is nearly over. Let's look at where we've come in the past year.

2010 stared with the release of the award winning "Whisper of the Seventh Thunder" by Larry Brooks. A great book and a great way to begin a new year. If you love Dan Brown, you have to read this one because it'll blow you away.

Next up was David Daniel's "Coffin Dust" which is so good it's now being used a text book in a creative writing course taught at UMass-Lowell. How cool is that?

We also released Lloyd L. Corricelli's second Ronan Marino Mystery called "Chasing Curves" with a big party at the Old Court in Lowell, MA. Lloyd is working on the third book in the series that should be out in fall of 2011. We're also working on a video to promote the series.

The biggest news of the year for us was the release of Mike Girard's "Psycho Chicken & Other Foolish Tales." After a great start on on-line sales at Amazon and as The Fools opened for Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, Mike and the band did an incredible show at the Blue Ocean Music Hall on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that was packed wall to wall. Quite a few books went out the door that night and we've also gotten some great press in the Boston Globe, Boston Herald and a number of other stations. Look for some huge announcement regarding this book in early 2011 (hint, let's just say you might see it one day on the silver screen).

We have one more book to release this year, J.F. Dacey's "Take the Long Way Home." It's the story of his year driving a cab in Lowell in the late seventies just as the city was about to rise from the ashes with a new national park. With the release of "The Fighter" (takes place and filmed in Lowell) it'll be interesting to see if there's any additional interest in this book.

With the holidays here, any of these books would make a great gift for the readers in your life or hell, just buy yourself one to read in front of the fireplace.

Thanks for being with us and we're looking forward to an even bigger 2011.
