Updating the Site

We have been working on the AP site. Yes, finally! The desktop version is pretty much ready but we need to finish the mobile version before uploading it all. Visitors will actually be able to see all the books. :)

An about/submissions page (or pages) may not appear right away. We are not taking any work right now but do intend, at last, to open up to publishing perhaps a couple titles a year. Most likely, that would be poetry, as we originally were conceived as a small poetry press. We shall see.

The release of FIELDS OF SUMMER, the latest poetry collection from Stephen Brooke is coming on September 1. That's the official release date --- one can find it already at various retailers, including our own store.

Anything more coming the year? We may or may not have a new novel ready for release before Christmas. That is still up in the air.

Today, July 15, brings the official release of Stephen Brooke's new fantasy adventure novel, THE EYES OF THE WIND. Available directly from Arachis Press and at retailers everywhere (almost!) in print and ebook formats.

Some Small Summer Announcements

First: the release date for Stephen Brooke's poetry collection FIELDS OF SUMMER has been moved forward to September 1.  After all, a book of 'summer' poems shouldn't come out in the autumn, should it? Expect the usual print and ebook versions.

Second: there is now an all-in-one edition of DONZALO'S DESTINY, combining the four novels that make up the saga (it could be convincingly argued that it is all one lengthy novel). The hardcover version is up at our shop now, but we need to look over the proof copy before officially announcing and giving a link. There will be a paperback version to join it shortly. This is a pretty big book, at over 200,000 words and seven-hundred-some pages.

Incidentally, we will stick with the four separate titles for the ebook versions, and continue to offer them in print too. There should be revised editions before too long.

Fields of Summer Release Date

We have set an official release date for Stephen Brooke's latest collection of poetry, FIELDS OF SUMMER,

for SEPTEMBER 1, 2016. More on the book to come but here is the back-cover blurb:

Visit the fields we remember, the fields we walked in summers past. We knew joy there, we knew regret, and both have faded now into the golden hazes of memory.

The Fields of Summer wait for our return. A collection of poems by Stephen Brooke.

And do not forget that THE EYES OF THE WIND will be out on JULY 15.

Eyes on a Video

We have put together a simple video book trailer for Stephen Brooke's new fantasy novel, THE EYES OF THE WIND.

Coming July 15!

Eyes Release

The date of July 15, 2016 has been set for the official release of Stephen Brooke's new novel, THE EYES OF THE WIND.

The 'long' blurb:

Young Saj only wanted to deliver his wagon-load of goods and be on his way to a new life in the South. How did he end up kidnapping a willful young noblewoman?

Or was it she who kidnapped him? He wasn’t quite sure.

Facing pirates, bandits, and sorcerers, Saj finds himself seeking the four mystic gems known as the Eyes of the Wind for a mysterious priestly order. Accompanied by Marana, who may or may not love him, and the wily wizard Xit, who may or may not be a god, his quest takes him from the sea to the mountains and into his own soul.

For Saj has powers that lie within him, powers of which he is only now becoming aware.

THE EYES OF THE WIND will be available in print and ebook formats through Arachis Press and books sellers everywhere.
