We are a small publishing house, started as a way to publish our own works that we didn’t want to hand over to someone else. From there we decided to open our doors to help others take a step up and see their dreams come true. What we look for in submissions, are fun stories. They don’t have to be thought-provoking or profound, but they do have to pull us in and take us on an adventure.

We are open to most fiction, though primarily focused on Science Fiction and Fantasy.

Partners are Benjamin Tyler Smith, R.J. Ladon, and William Joseph Roberts.

We opened our doors in 2019, and have been building our library and readership since.

The Three Ravens

By day Ben earns his bread as a necro-cartographer, and by night he writes about undead, aliens, and everything in-between. His first novel is Blue Crucible, published by Chris Kennedy Publishing and set in Christopher Woods’ post-apocalyptic Fallen World universe. Other works include short stories set in CKP’s Four Horsemen military sci-fi universe, the Sha’Daa dark fantasy/horror universe by Copperdog Publishing, and pieces that wound up as finalists for Baen contests both in 2018 and 2019. He is working on a Four Horsemen novel and a Salvage Universe novel, both of which will be finished by the end of 2020.

Married to a saint of a woman, ruled by a benevolent Calico countess, he can be found at BenjaminTylerSmith.com, on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/BenTylerSmith), and on Twitter (@BenTylerSmith). Join his newsletter for a free short story and updates on his writing and appearance schedule!

My name is RJ Ladon. I’m a Design Engineer by trade. I’m also an author. I have contributed one Military Science Fiction story to the best-selling Science Fiction Anthology ‘Tales from the Lyons Den: Stories from the Four Horsemen Universe’, and two horror stories to ‘Sha’Daa Toys’. Currently, I’m writing ‘Bloodstone’ a Young Adult Urban Fantasy novel. ‘Bloodstone’ will be the first in a series, and released in early 2019.

I’m a native of Wisconsin, where I still live today, with my husband, daughter, two adult sons, and a menagerie of animals. I also maintain a vast garden, and a fruit and nut orchard.

The biggest influencer in my writing was Gary Gygax. He purchased my family’s Arabian horse ranch when I was nine. He gave us many Dungeons and Dragons books and modules. As a result, my wee little mind exploded. Living in rural Wisconsin, most of my other influencers existed on PBS, i.e., Nature, Nova, and Masterpiece.

If you would like to contact me, I would love to hear from you.

The Minions

When writing one’s own bio, how can one tell what will be interesting to the reader? Likely it’s the same as writing a story that’s spun up out of your imagination – you put yourself out there and let people see who you are and hope for the best. So, to that end – Jenny is originally from South Florida and was never bored as a kid. She was always asking and answering “What if…?” to stay entertained. Moving to Tennessee opened a whole new set of “What if…?” questions that she still asks and answers. Now she entertains herself and hopefully others by putting some of the stories her imagination has spun up out for people to read and enjoy. She most enjoys writing in the science fiction/fantasy genres and occasionally flits into others to test herself and see where the stories take her. In between writing, reading and a day job, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two puppies.

Philip K. Booker lives near Chattanooga, Tennessee, with his wife, five children and neurotic cat, collectively known as Clan Booker (trademark pending).

He writes stories across all genres, but tends to focus on Urban Fantasy and Science Fiction. His pieces are often littered with humor, snark, and pop culture references.

When not writing or hunting the fabled full-night’s sleep; he enjoys playing games like Munchkin and Pandemic with his friends and family, attending conventions and drinking lots of coffee. Find him on Facebook and join his mailing list for monthly updates on new releases and exclusive perks for subscribers only.

Lead Hillbilly wrangler at conventions, Bug likes to play drums, eat pickles, and threaten certain authors, Mainly Moops and Falciani, but there are a few others.

She just kinda showed up and won’t leave. We stopped feeding her and she’s still here. Send help. Please.

When Lauren Crockett-Girard first read Ray Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains” in high school, she was hooked. This short story sparked an ever-growing fascination with science fiction and post-apocalyptic literature/film. During her time as a teacher, she developed a passion for working with students on creative writing projects that gave them the space to craft worlds of their own. 

These days, she spends much of her time working on her dissertation about zombies in American culture. She currently resides in Massachusetts with her husband, two axolotls, and Star Wars action figure collection. 

Macee Johnson is a college student at USC Aiken and is set to graduate in the spring of 2024. She is majoring in Fine Arts with a minor in Communications. Previously, she was the Visual Arts Editor for her college student anthology series “Broken Ink.” Though she’s more of an artist than a writer, she still enjoys the craft, has written a few short stories, and is always looking to improve her storytelling skills. After college, she wants a career in art entertainment like a comic artist, or character designer. She also has a few passion projects she’d love to visualize in some form of medium someday. Besides drawing and writing, her hobbies include playing Nintendo games, going to the gym, and watching movies.

“Taylor Robinson is a Ohio University senior who is working on a degree in English. Her favorite pastimes are writing and reading (obviously), watching scary movies, and petting dogs.”

I graduated from Coastal Carolina University with a bachelor’s in English Studies and a minor in psychology. I love scary movies and fall is my favorite season but that is mostly just because I believe all the best things happen in the fall along with the pretty colors of nature! Some of my favorite books are Notes from the under ground by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Pines Trilogy by Blake Crouch, The night and its Moon by Piper CJ, and many many more! I am also The Gilmore Girls Biggest fan, that Show is where i get my life motto which is “in’omnia paratus’ which is Latin for “ready for anything!”

“Matthew Stobie Jackman is originally from Nova Scotia, but now lives in Toronto, Ontario. He worked as a sailor before returning to shore to explore the literary landscape of North America. He holds a BA in English literature from the University of Toronto.”

Rónán Fitzgerald is a senior photojournalism major at UMass Amherst. He listens to instrumental pop when writing and editing, and loves the word “goated.”

Sarah Sindy is a passionate people (and animal) person who thrives on connecting with others and making a positive impact on their lives. She’s a natural leader, often finding herself at the forefront of group activities and projects, where her charisma and enthusiasm shine. Sarah’s infectious energy and optimism can light up a room, and she has an uncanny ability to draw out the best in people, motivating them to achieve their full potential. When she’s not spending time writing or editing, she’s pet-sitting for clients, or chatting with friends, though she really needs to learn how to take some time for herself!
