Aubade Publishing Achieves Publishing Goal One Year Early: Releases Eight Titles in 2020

ASHBURN, Va. -- Aubade Publishing, a member of the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), is steadily growing, expanding and exceeding its business expectations. It's scheduled to release eight titles in 2020 - four poetry collections, three novels and one memoir:

* "The Law of the Land" (ISBN: 978-0-9845494-8-1), poems by Red Hawk (May 19, 2020)

* "High Tide" (ISBN: 978-1-951547-99-8), poems by Ed Meek (May 26, 2020)

* "Song of the Selkie" (ISBN: 978-1-951547-00-4), poems by Jane Beal (June 2, 2020)

* "The Yellow Sports Bra: A True Story of Love, Faith, and Basketball" (ISBN: 978-1-951547-03-5), a memoir by Jamie Graham Duprey (June 23, 2020)

* "Jerusalem as a Second Language" (ISBN: 978-1-951547-06-6), literary fiction by Rochelle Distelheim (September 29, 2020)

* "Love's Garden" (ISBN: 978-1-951547-08-0), historical fiction by Nandini Bhattacharya (October 27, 2020)

* "The Reluctant Patriot" (ISBN: 978-1-951547-10-3), historical fiction by Susan Lohafer (December 1, 2020)

* "Roadworthy" (ISBN: 978-1-951547-13-4), poems by Dave Mehler (December 15, 2020).

The eight works were selected for publication in response to a call for manuscripts from the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) in 2019 and a rolling review of manuscripts continuously submitted on Aubade's website.

"We published three titles in 2018 and set a goal at that time to expand to eight titles by 2021; we're one year ahead of schedule," Vonda Puckett, founder and business manager, Aubade Publishing, says. "That's very exciting."

And, Vonda, who is a graduate of Weber State University, has a double major in history and English, and is an especially qualified judge of historical fiction, is not going it alone. Her husband, Joe Puckett, and daughter, Cosette, are also committed to this niche family business.

"Aubade Publishing is really a labor of love," Joe says, who is also the business's chief editor. "We all get to indulge our reading addiction as part of our work."

Cosette, a 2019 English graduate from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, manages acquisition, performs editing, designs covers and layouts, manages the social media sites and illustrates some of the books.

"We were flooded with manuscripts," Cosette says, "but the writers we chose for publication really grabbed us with their style and content - it's quite an eclectic group. We're also very happy to publish Rochelle Distelheim for a second time."

The books that Aubade Publishing publishes are rooted in the family's favorite literature genres: fantasy and science fiction, Gothic, historical and literary fiction, poetry and memoirs.

"I used to read so much as a kid that my parents would ground me from reading if I got in trouble," Cosette says, "but now I get to read as part of my job and be involved in the creative process with these fabulous writers."

Aubade's website theme revolves around an Emily Dickinson poem which opening lines state: "There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away."

"By reading these eight books, I 'traveled' to British India during the two world wars; St Petersburg and Jerusalem after the fall of the Soviet Union; contemporary Cape Cod; Tennessee during the Civil War; the Great Plains when Sitting Bull lived; the Hi-Line of Montana in the 1990s; the Pacific Northwest (with a truck driver); and I got to meet a selkie," Cosette shares.

The books are available for pre-order directly from the publisher's website at: https://aubadepublishing.com.

There are also instructions for writers on how to submit manuscripts for possible future publication. Ingram will distribute all eight titles to the trade.

Advance reading copies (ARCs) for the first five titles are currently available for electronic review on NetGalley (https://www.netgalley.com/) and paperback ARCs can be requested from the publisher. Electronic and paperback ARCs for the three remaining titles will be available for review closer to their publication dates.

"We're looking forward to possible future expansion," Vonda says, "but we don't want to put a number on that like we did in 2018. We might have to wait until our youngest daughter, Emma (who also loves reading), graduates from college first."

Aubade Publishing to Release Three Books in Late Summer 2018

NASHUA, N.H. -- This summer, Aubade Publishing is scheduled to release three books: "Sadie in Love" (ISBN: 978-0984549412), a novel by Rochelle Distelheim; "Paricutin: The Miracle of Daniel Pulido" (ISBN: 978-0984549436), a novel by Jerome John Dobson; and "The Annotated Murder of One" (ISBN: 978-0984549450), a collection of poems by Jared Pearce.

These three debut authors and their works were selected for publication in response to a call for manuscripts from the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) in March 2017.

"We're thrilled to work with these talented writers," Joe Puckett, author and co-founder of Aubade Publishing, says. "We're a niche publishing house that focuses on fantasy, gothic and historical fiction and poetry collections. We're intimately familiar with these genres, and look for exceptional writing quality and artistic merit in our manuscripts. Each of these soon-to-be-published works exhibits these criteria."

"Sadie in Love," to be released on July 31, is set in 1913 in New York City, and provides a warmly comical and deliciously entertaining look at life on the city's Lower East Side. Sadie Schuster, the main character, is a forty-something, plumpish, recently widowed, Jewish immigrant. She has a passion for crafting love knots for lonely, unwitting immigrants, while she unintentionally knits a tangled love knot of her own with a local ice peddler and the "Dance King of Riga, Latvia." Comedy and chaos ensue.

Distelheim has won numerous writing awards - most recently, the 2017 Gival Press Competition for Short Story, as well as The Katharine Anne Porter Prize, The William Faulkner Gold Medal in Novel and more. Learn more at: https://rdistelheimauthor.com/.

"Paricutin: The Miracle of Daniel Pulido," to be released on August 31, immediately draws readers into a gripping tale of survival, courage, hope and love. The story centers on a Mexican boy and a Nebraska girl who are bizarrely linked by a volcano, an earthquake and an odd poem. The story begins when 16-year-old Daniel has a premonition of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake - eight days later, he's the sole survivor. What comes next demonstrates how life takes unexpected turns and results in unlikely outcomes.

Dobson began his writing career in the early 1960s when he joined his wife, Bridget, as head writer for the popular soap opera, "General Hospital." The couple had multiple Emmy nominations for head writing "Guiding Light," "As the World Turns" and their creation, "Santa Barbara." Over two years, "Santa Barbara" was nominated for 27 Emmys, and won 11, both records at the time.

"The Annotated Murder of One," to be released on September 7, is a poetry collection that spins lyrics from the Counting Crows' song, "A Murder of One," and weaves them into new directions and dimensions. The poems highlight memories, history, the future and the relationship between love and understanding. Vivid bird imagery is found throughout, in addition to ghosts, humor and other colorful images. Pearce's poems have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, shortlisted for the Slate Roof and Blue Light Press competitions, and have won the BYU Studies Prize in Poetry.

Advance reading copies (ARC) for the novels are available for electronic review on NetGalley ( https://www.netgalley.com/ ) and paperback ARC copies can be requested from the publisher. The ARC for the poems will be available early May. Readers can listen to Pearce read 15 of his poems on Aubade's website and on YouTube.

Each book will be published in paperback, e-book and Kindle formats; all three may be pre-ordered on Amazon.

"And, this is just the beginning of what's in store for Aubade," Puckett says.

Aubade looks to incrementally expand to eight titles per year by 2021. A call for manuscripts for late summer 2019 publication is currently underway.
