How to read the catalog
Each shelf lists titles with a short description, the ISBN and, where the archive preserved them, reviews from readers, bloggers and other authors. Titles that belong to a series say so in the description, and the order of the books is given whenever it matters. Paperbacks and e-books are available for nearly every title, and each format has its own ISBN.
If you are new to the press, a good way to begin is with the mysteries or the historical novels, which make up the largest part of the list. Readers who enjoy series will find several here: the Fawn Malero mysteries, the Harvey and McCrary adventures, the Pan Chronicles, the Naiche Decker novels and the Whipped and Sipped mysteries. You can also read about the writers themselves on the authors page, or turn to the blog for background on how the books are made.
