Pandamoon Publishing Announces Expanded Ingram Distribution for A Tree Born Crooked

Dec. 9, 2014 - PRLog -- Austin, TX - 12/9/14 – Pandamoon Publishing is pleased to announce that A Tree Born Crooked by author Steph Post is now available through Ingram distribution channels for book stores and libraries world-wide using ISBN: 978-0-9903389-6-3.  “A Tree Born Crooked is already an Amazon Best Seller and this expanded distribution will allow more readers to acquire an extraordinary “grit-lit” novel through their local book stores or libraries” stated Zara Kramer, Publisher of Pandamoon Publishing.

James Hart, with a tough-as-nails exterior and an aching emptiness inside, does not want to go home. Yet when James receives a postcard from his mother, Birdie Mae, informing him of his father’s death, he bites the bullet and returns to the rural and stagnant town of Crystal Springs, Florida, a place where dreams are born to die. James is too late for Orville’s funeral, but just in time to become ensnared in the deadly repercussions of his younger brother Rabbit’s life of petty crime.

When Rabbit is double crossed by his cousin in a robbery-turned-murder, James and a local bartender, the unsettling and alluring Marlena Bell, must come up with a plan to save Rabbit’s skin. A whirlwind road trip across the desolate Florida panhandle ensues as James tries to stay one step ahead of the vengeful Alligator Mafia and keep his brother alive. With bullets in the air and the ghosts of heartache, betrayal and unspeakable rage haunting him at every turn, James must decide just how much he is willing to risk to protect his family and find a way home.

"Into the land of lacquered baby gators and OxyContin stashed behind the fridge--where even a plastic Santa in the lawn has been kicked over and wears a dented-in cheek. Steph Post brings a big heart and a close eye to this gritty story of ill-fated plans to knock off the safe house of a local mob. The result is abreathless chase through trailer parks, bars and motels that sweeps you in as you spiral down. Think ofFlannery O'Connor writing season two of True Detective." -Will Chancellor, author of A Brave Man Seven Storeys Tall

“Steph Post has created a vivid literary thriller where her characters stride among of the groves, back roads, and bars of north-central Florida like weary Titians, flicking their burning cigarettes into the sand and grit, wiping away whiskey with the backs of their hands.”

-April Bradley, Assistant Editor of Bartleby Snopes

“Steph Post creates a flavor-filled thriller, making the reader fill a tad bit guilty of something themselves. The setting can be felt and heard, just as the slamming of the screen door on the soon-to-be abandoned trailer that Hart leaves behind echoes in the mind of the reader for pages upon pages. A story filled with suspense, action, lust, and sadness; a must read for anyone wanting to take a thrilling journey throughout the back roads and pages of a novel.”

-The Hollow and the Plow

Bio - Award winning author Steph Post is a tried and true Florida native. Not palm-tree-laden-fruity-drink-tropical-shirt-and-sandals South Florida, but backwoods-on-a-creek-deer-flies-and-alligator-ridden North Florida. Her adventurous childhood growing up in just such a precarious landscape has led to a lifetime of dauntless creativity and the scrappy mentality that she can achieve just about anything she sets her mind to.

This outlook led to a Bachelor's degree in English from Davidson College, a penchant for writing long academic papers on punk rock and Alice in Wonderland, a Master's degree in Graduate Liberal Studies from the University of North Carolina Wilmington, the acquisition of five slightly deranged mutts and an extremely tolerant husband, a house in St. Petersburg, Florida and a fulfilling job as a high school writing coach at a performing arts school in Tampa.
