AUTHOR SEAN HOADE JOINS MORAN PUBLISHING

I am pleased to announce that local Vegas author Sean Hoade has agreed to join the team at Moran Publishing. Sean is a veteran in the book business and a prolific author. A teacher, writer, and all around book lover - Sean is bringing several titles with him to Moran Publishing. I will announce in later posts the books to be re-issued through Moran Publishing, but for today I can reveal that the first book published will be Sean's collection of short stories, Inappropriate Behavior.

For all that aren't familiar with Sean Hoade and his fiction, I highly suggest checking out his amusing and unique website HERE.

Here is a short author bio taken from his website.

Howdy! I am Sean Hoade, bon vivant, zombie expert, penny dreadful and pulp fiction writer, speaker, Tesla proselytizer, Steampunk enthusiast, and dedicated Lovecraftian.

I look forward to sharing Sean Hoade's fiction with my readers and I'm certain you will enjoy the novels, stories, and pulp fiction offered as much as I do. I'm working hard to re-issue his story collection in short order.

I will post more news about releases as I have information to share.

From Las Vegas,

Stephen John Moran

JESSICA WYNN JOINS MORAN PUBLISHING

I am pleased to announce that Jessica Wynn has agreed to join the team at Moran Publishing as cover designer. After meeting Jessica via Twitter - we chatted over a few e-mails and I was impressed by her cover work samples and ideas for the cover of my upcoming story release - that I will share in this post. I'm looking forward to collaborating with Jessica on creating unique and eye-catching covers for the art house books produced at Moran Publishing. First, a short bio on Jessica.

Jessica Wynn is a 23-year-old New Yorker currently living in Rome. She works as a freelance writer while teaching herself web design, and runs a blog about writing advice, music, online marketing and anything else that strikes her fancy. When she's not working on her novel, she's usually drinking coffee or fawning over the Internet's infinite wealth of dog photos.

Below is a cover mock-up for my upcoming story collection. Jessica took the painting by Marielle I selected for the image and turned it into this idea, shown in both black and white. More examples of her work can be found on her website linked above or simply click HERE.

Again, I want to welcome Jessica Wynn to the team at Moran Publishing.

From Las Vegas,

Introducing a NEW Author at @MoranPublishing - L. M. Bryski @LMBryski

INTRODUCING
L. M. BRYSKI

I'm excited to announce a *NEW* author has joined the team at Moran Publishing - L. M. Bryski. I met Lisa via Twitter and was introduced to her work through an author with Moran Publishing.

I'll simply state - I was blown away by the manuscript of L. M. Bryski's first novel, The BOOK OF BIRDS, and I knew immediately I *needed* to publish this book. The Book of Birds is a dark coming of age tale that I can't wait to share with readers. But, I won't blather on about this book - here are some details about the author and her book - provided *by* the author. In her own words:

L. M. Bryski

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY

L. M. (Lisa) Bryski, MD, is Canadian, convenient since her home is somewhere in Canada. She could reside most anywhere though, as she spends considerable time living in her own head. Lisa is a real doctor, but doesn’t play one on TV. She gets to wear a lab coat at work, and likes to fix emergencies, not cause them.

Lisa has many proclivities, including a love of pancakes and all things breakfast. She enjoys reading and writing, and is very proud of her pronunciation of difficult words. Her humour is horrible, her punctuation abysmal, but she always finds a way to end her sentences with a period.

The Book of Birds is Lisa’s first novel. The narrative is a 1940s coming of age story inspired by many childhood visits to Saskatchewan, a love of ornithology and the movie, ‘At the Circus’. Somehow in Lisa’s oddball mind, it all came together in the form of a book. Lisa’s novel tells of Elly and her sister Dot, newly orphaned girls who move to a small prairie town to live with their grandparents. Elly’s struggles to fit in lead both girls into danger. The consequences are unfortunate, and hopefully well worth the money to read about.

Lisa’s award shelf is currently empty. She hopes to fill it someday with bright shiny trophies from the literary world. Barring that, maybe a few more books would be nice.

You can find L. M. Bryski on Twitter as @LMBryski. She also has a website, www.lmbryski.com, and can be reached by email, [email protected]. Enquiries about the author may also be made through Moran Publishing.
