I'd like to take a moment to send out a special SHOUT OUT to a good long distance friend, Mr. Jeremy Robinson!! In case you aren't familiar with Jeremy Robinson, he's a self made success in the publishing world and on the rise. Jeremy began his publishing career as a print-on-demand self published author utilizing LULU.COM to bring us "The Didymus Contingency." This exciting time travel thriller gained him a large fan base and the endorsement of bestselling thriller novelist, James Rollins, who consequently has endorsed Jeremy's work ever since. Following on his self published success with his first novel, Jeremy took on the task of starting his own publishing company, Breakneck Books. Jeremy put his graphic arts talent to use along with a great deal of marketing savvy and brought us his next novel, "Raising the Past," along with a gaggle of new authors like myself, (Thanks Jeremy!)
Breakneck began to see some measured success, particularly through Jeremy's broadening fan base, the release of "Antarktos Rising" and ultimately his book deal with Thomas Dunne Books. Around the same time, Breakneck Books came to merge with Variance Publishing and has seen some bestselling authors climb onboard with their latest upcoming novels.
In addition to Jeremy's new three book deal for Thomas Dunne is his continued novel releases at Variance Publishing including a re-release of "Antarktos Rising" into trade paperback. This will mark Jeremy's first official release into the realm of brick and mortar bookstores, though many more are soon to come! And if that wasn't enough, "Antarktos Rising" has been acquired by a Japanese Animation company to produce the Anime version in 2010 with a big budget! NOT BAD FOR A SELF PUBLISHED AUTHOR!
WE GIVE PROPS WHERE THEY ARE DUE AND HIS TIME HAS ARRIVED--CHECK OUT THE OCTOBER 22nd RELEASE OF "ANTARKTOS RISING" IN YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE AND SEE WHAT THE HYPE IS ALL ABOUT!
