MARCHER LORD PRESS

MARCHER LORD PRESS and WHERE THE MAP ENDS...

I just wanted to say that Jeff's vision of Marcher Lord Press sounds very interesting. As an author currently published with a POD small press, Breakneck Books Publishing, I think it has great potential if done correctly...especially if Jeff can find the right books to publish for the Christian Speculative market and can be effective in marketing them. The ability to get books into distribution with chain book stores is essential to maintaining success. While Amazon is a 10% share of the book market and growing, it can be a fickled place to try and promote a book.

I personally hope Jeff can make a go of it and bring out some new titles for this growing genre. It's a niche market to be sure, but even if you don't sell oodles of books compared to the mainstream, people who enjoy the genre will have another place they can hopefully find some great, God honoring stories. And some overlooked Christian authors may be able to find an outlet for their work to gain some appreciation.

*NEW WRITING SAMPLE COMING TOMORROW--STAY TUNED*

The dream of his own publishing company part of his site was quite intriguing. Sorry I didn't get to that one.

James, thanks for your great posts about WhereTheMapEnds.com.

I'm sorry I didn't comment here earlier, but I kept checking http://www.jamessomersonline.com/ and didn't see anything. It wasn't until after the blogtour was over that I saw there was another link.

Anyway, thank you for the kind words!

Jeff
