Three outstanding newcomers released by Night Reading / Publishing

March 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Night Reading / Publishing is committed to publishing and marketing excellent writers regardless of commercial opportunity, being set up out of a frustration with the current major publishing house trend of promoting celeb literature and branded formulaic novels.

The first three works from outstanding newcomers have been released by Night Publishing this week.

The very first is Stephen Sangirardi’s intense, visceral and very literary ‘Monday Afternoon’, which traces the course of the affair a Roman Catholic Italian already-married New Yorker embarks upon with the woman of his dreams whom he chances to meet at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center in Connecticut. One critic observed that this densely packed tale of adultery was written with such intelligence that every word was to be savored and not one was to be missed.

The second is Paul Perry’s ‘Buenos Aires: a train ride over the rainbow’ which is a collection of poems and one short story which evokes the strained lifestyle of a man who left Philadelphia in search of the Land of Oz. Paul’s poetry is highly accessible and enjoyable, plugging the reader into the heart of his life in this fascinating city.

The third is George Polley’s ‘The Old Man & The Monkey’ which is a moving fable of dignity in the face of racism, about an old man’s developing friendship with a snow monkey. It has been described as one of the most elegant and powerful allegories of racism of all time

A fourth new release is ‘….at last!’ which is a collection of real-life short stories and poems from contributors to the Speak Without Interruption international online writers’ magazine.

Books from Night Reading / Publishing’s fellow-travellers (who publish elsewhere but who are marketed by Night Reading / Publishing) include two from top British poets. Tony Flynn’s ‘The Mermaid Chair’ is a retrospective collection from the poet who won the prestigious English Association Poetry Prize in 2007 with ‘Seeing Voices’, and Ian Parks, once described as the greatest love poet of his generation, is about to release an exquisite retrospective collection of his love poems called ‘LOVE POEMS’.

Also among the fellow-travellers are Bob Ellal whose ‘By These Things Men Live’ about surviving cancer four times is just about to be released in paperback (it is already available in e-book), Minnette Coleman’s imminent ‘The Blacksmith’s Daughter’ which charts the rise of a black blacksmith into the middle classes of 1920s Atlanta as he tries to marry off his five daughters to promising suitors, Mel Nicolai’s hilarious experimental novel ‘The Case’ and private eye extravaganza ‘7 Remote Mysteries & 1 Delay’, and Richard Sutherland’s witty and searching collection of short stories and poems ‘The Unitary Authority of Ersatz’.

Upcoming directly from Night Reading / Publishing are Bob Ellal’s sequel to ‘By These Things Men Live’ which describes the aftershock of his survival from cancer, Minnette Coleman’s ‘No Death By Unknown Hands’ which covers two murders and a rape in 1950s Georgia for which two men were executed, two gangster books from the highly popular and groundbreaking Northern English writer Danny Birch – ‘Get Some’ and ‘Clipped – The Editor’s Cut’ – and Bruce Essar’s ‘Lockerbie’s Deception’ about the international terrorism and child kidnapping rackets.

The next Night Reading poll to select its ‘First Chapter of the Month’ will open on 25 March 2010 and close at midnight on 1 April. All winners of this competition are offered a publishing contract by Night Reading / Publishing.
