Magazine

A quick announcement here that we are 'laying the foundations' of a new literary magazine (online and probably non-paying, at least at first) to be titled The Arachis Review. First issue may appear, perhaps, in early 2014 and we're thinking twice a year after that---as we did with the short-lived Peripheral Vision magazine.

There is a lot to think about and a lot to do before this magazine will happen. I will say that our emphasis (as with PV) may be towards a Stuckist/Remodernist tone. Or maybe not. At any rate, give some thought to work you might submit. We will be interested in reviews (we may start publishing them separately, first), essays, short fiction, poetry and all the other usual suspects for this sort of thing.

K. Page Brooke Passes

With sorrow, we must announce the passing of Mary Katherine Page Brooke, the subject of our retrospective book, 'The Art of K. Page Brooke.' We are, however, pleased that we were able to publish the book while she was still with us and able to enjoy looking through it.

Rest in peace, Mary, and be sure to set up your easel and paint some landscapes of Heaven.

Nowhere? at Amazon!

We have decided to finally make Kindle versions available of some of our titles, starting with 'The Middle of Nowhere,' the Young Adult title by Stephen Brooke. It may be found HERE.

We have priced it at 2.99. The EPUB version is still available both at our own store and at iTunes and Barnes & Noble. Not to mention the print version, of course!

A NOTE, Aug 31, 2013: We have withdrawn all our books from Amazon and the Kindle format.  They will, of course, remain on sale in print and EPUB (and some as PDF) at our other outlets.

New Catalog

The March 2013 catalog of books from The Arachis Press is now available for download. It contains information on all six of our current titles.

A Mouse Video

We've put together a simple little video to accompany our children's picture book, 'A Mouse Is In The House.'

This is a shortened version of the song by Stephen Brooke that was the original impetus for the creation of the book.

K. Page Brooke News

We are finalizing 'The Art of K. Page Brooke' and do expect it to be available by the end of January. With this sort of project, we are definitely taking our time. In the mean time, we have put a page at our site with some of the art that will be in the book. In higher resolution, of course! That may be found at: www.insolentlad.com/kpagebrooke.html

This book is essentially a labor of love for us and also an opportunity to expand our catalog. It will class us up a bit! ;)

In the Works

New books are coming. Really! Our publishing schedule had to be put on hold for a while, due to other demands on our time and resources, but we do hope to have two new titles available soon.

The first of these is a new direction for us: an art book. It will be a retrospective of the life work of painter K. Page Brooke. Photography is going on right now and we should have the final product assembled soon. The book will be made available in print – full color, of course – but also we will probably offer it as a PDF. If the logistics can be worked out, possibly that latter version will be a free download.

The second will be a children’s picture book, titled ‘Awful Alvin.’ It is likely that the illustrations will be black and white pen drawings (text and artwork both by Stephen Brooke), but color remains a possibility. We’ll have to see how that goes.

Will either be available before the end of the year? Maybe not, but expect them soon after. There will be more to follow in 2013, naturally!
