Will you taste July
with me? It promises
to be sweeter this year
than any I have known.

Today! Or not today if you are reading this tomorrow or the next day or...anyway, September 1 is the official release date for the new poetry collection, FIELDS OF SUMMER, from Stephen Brooke. Available everywhere!

Well, almost everywhere, in print and ebook versions, and directly from our own store. The official 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.

Site Is Up

We --- at last --- have a more-or-less complete site up, in both desktop and mobile version at http://arachispress.com . Tweaking and updates and so on will be ongoing, but all the books are there. As always, of course, one may skip our site and go straight to the store at our distributor: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/arachispress

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.
