We grew tired of publishers wanting money up front, charging fees that didn't make sense to us, and knew there was actually little or no cost to publishers at first, except time and a little hard work. We decided to form our own publishing firm, small for sure, to save authors money by charging nothing, not one red cent until the book is published. Once the book is available, we'll deduct a percentage from each book sold, how's that? I think you'll find we even give you a higher royalty rate than most traditional publishers.
How can we do what we promise? Granted, there will be some format and organizational problems at first, since we're new, but we are authors and love books. We've discovered a printer that will work with us in getting your manuscript into print and we're excited! We'll also offer an ebook of your work, if accepted.
Will we print all manuscripts? Of course not and all submitted work will have to meet our requirements in layout, as well as be the best writing you can do. The work will have to be your own, well edited, and good solid reading of most genre. We will not publish previously published work.

An avid outdoorswoman, she enjoys C. B. radio, deer hunting, fishing, camping, and of course, outdoor photography. She prefers the smell of wood smoke, the crackling of a fire late at night, and the serenity of nature, to a fast-paced life in a big city. Born and raised in Mississippi , most of it on a farm, she is a true Southern Belle.
