September 2015 Catalog

Our new catalog for September 2015 is available (as a pdf) at http://insolentlad.com/apcatalog2015sep.pdf , updated with all out current titles. More to come---expect Stephen Brooke's latest poetry collection, THE TOWER, later this year. Tentative release date is November 1.

All of our titles are available at our own store, and most are also at bookstores and online sellers in ebook and print formats.

Books On Line

We would like to announce that we finally have our book list on line at our site (at http://www.insolentlad.com/apbooks.html ) with images, brief blurbs and 'buy' buttons. All eight current titles are up --- more to come, of course!

More information on Arachis Press, including submission standards and the like, should appear soon-ish, both at the site and here. Plans for our new magazine, too.

Anniversary

I just realized that this is the tenth anniversary of Arachis Press. In a sense, anyway — I self-published my first chapbook of poetry, ‘Pieces of the Moon,’ in 2003. At that time, I styled myself ‘Nihil Crocodile Press’ and continued to do so until I put out my second book, the YA novel ‘The Middle of Nowhere,’ some eight years later!

That first edition was not only self-published but also self-printed. A laser printer, good paper stock, and a long stapler are really all one needs to put out a quite decent-looking product. Distribution, however, is another matter which is why I switched to printing and selling through Lulu for the second edition in 2005.

So I’ll celebrate. Yay! Okay, that’s taken care of. Now back to business!

I’m working up a new catalog, reflecting the release of the latest book, ‘Retellings,’ and will have it on the site shortly. It might be time I adjusted some prices anyway and maybe even put out some revised editions (too many mistakes in both ‘Pieces of the Moon’ and ‘Dreamwinds.’).

And, of course, I continue to make attempts at more books. As I mentioned a while back, I’m open to working with other authors, but I do have projects of my own in progress. Maybe I’ll finally get that fantasy novel finished.

That would be ‘The Song of the Sword.’ I have decided to retain that title for the first ‘book’ of ‘Donzalo’s Destiny,’ which should consist of two novella-length parts. The first of which is long finished and well-polished — I considered releasing it on its own as a 22,000 word ebook but think I will wait.

Here is a mock-up of a possible cover. I like simple and (I hope) classy presentations.
