Book Submissions:

I want novellas and story collections between 20-40K words only. Accepted work will be published in EPUB format. Writers will receive US $100.00 'advance' and industry-standard royalties paid twice yearly. Work should be submitted in either word or RTF. 

I believe that money flows toward the writer, nowhere else. No fees, no editing charges.

Come at me!

The Vultures Will Feed, fiction by Curtis Ippolito

  G ary Ray prays his fleece-lined Carhartt, wool socks, and thermos of coffee will keep him warm enough to see daylight. The chill created by underarm sweat and the steel trimmings of the shotgun he hugs does him no favors in that regard. He stands. Rests the shotgun on the folding lawn chair. Stretches. Exhaled breath pours from his mouth in frosty plumes as he glares at the fogged-over glass door to his store. The pink piece of paper glued to the other side indicates the Randall County Sheriff’s Office will seize the property at 1607 4 th Avenue, Canyon, TX, and everything within its four walls at seven a.m. Four hours from now. Gary’s under no illusion his stand will stop the morning’s events from happening, but like any Texan worth his salt, he won’t go down without a fight. And fight’s all he has left. Turning around, two camping lanterns allow him to see what’s left of the small business handed down to him fifteen years prior. RAY’S SPORTING GOODS. Empty metal shelves domin

Tubthumping, by Tom Andes

C ertain people, Healy knew, had no sense of irony. They couldn’t see themselves in the lyrics of a song, not even when the song was about blokes like them, not even when they were being made fun of, and that was Stanhope all over, bobbing his head, singing off-key at the top of his lungs to Chumbawumba’s “Tubthumping” where they sat at a beer-sticky table in the back of their local, the Spotted Cow in Littlehampton. “He drinks a lager drink,” Stanhope sang, “he drinks a cider drink,” and he grinned, showing the gap between his front teeth, the guy two-fisting a pint of Stella Artois and one of Strongbow. Why couldn’t he see that he was being made fun of, the song about regular lads like Stanhope, lager louts in their football jerseys and trainers out on the piss on a Saturday night? He was also Healy’s best friend, his pill and hash connection, and just at the moment, they were waiting for Stanhope’s supplier, a white South African named Colin who lived on a council estate in East Lon

Conscience Money, fiction by M.E. Proctor

  T he show was about to begin. The judge was behind his desk. The court secretary was primed to type. The prosecutor, a lanky type with a ponytail and hipster glasses, had his stack of files ready. The jury was seated. At the defense table, the man whose freedom was at stake, chafed in clothes too tight for his bulk. He was big. The hard wooden chair, the dimensions of the courtroom squashed him. It was eerily symbolic. This giant of a man was about to be crushed by the judicial machine. He studiously avoided looking at the lawyer assigned to his case, and said lawyer, an elderly gentleman who should be fishing instead of haunting a courtroom, looked like he’d rather be anywhere else. Fishing on the lake, indeed, with beer in the cooler. Deputy Sheriff Maeve “Mae” Rollins sat in the back of the room, close to the exit doors. She didn’t come to trials often, she had enough on her plate to keep her busy, but the circumstances around this defendant interested her. She was familiar with
