Publication Update - Sophie & the G-man and The Perilous Step

As we all know, Covid-19 has changed the world and publishing is no exception. Those of us at Rook Creek Books have been pretty quiet as the world shifted around us, but we haven't been still. Our print and distribution partners needed time to be safe and get things moving once again. Our two pending titles, Sophie and the G-Man and the Perilous Step are back on track for hardcover and paperback print runs for August 15th. If you are a Kickstarter backer, you will see an update regarding reward distribution via email soon. To the thousands awaiting these titles via Amazon pre-order, we are presently confident that the August 15 date for distribution will be worth the wait. 

Stay tuned for updates regarding our 2021 anthology series and future titles.

Eileen T. Flaherty to Publish with King's Bridge 

We are pleased to announce that author Eileen T. Flaherty's crime fiction title The Perilous Step will be published under our King's Bridge imprint.

​Long anticipated by friends and enemies, this “uplifting” (Kate Meyer) tale goes behind the veil of the securities industry, chronicling one woman’s long climb toward the US Supreme Court. This “must read” (Ron Filler) brings together Eileen’s dry wit, gleeful schadenfreude, and tender family moments (with some bad actors along the way.)

Ms. Flaherty is the Managing Director of The Global Capital Group Ltd., a regulatory consulting firm and recently completed a two-year merit appointment as a Director at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Prior to her public service, Ms. Flaherty was the Global Head of Compliance and Financial Crime Prevention and Americas General Counsel for the Newedge Group. Ms. Flaherty has served as the General Counsel for organizations on Wall Street and in Chicago.

She is an accomplished author in the financial services world, having published numerous industry articles. The Perilous Step will be released April 30, 2020 and is for pre-order now. To hear her speak about the title, John Lothian News (JLN) interviewed her this week. Cover reveal for the book will be later this week. Stay tuned.

Rook Creek - Publisher's Announcement

A long time coming, we will be leveraging our success as self-published novella authors, fundraisers, and workshop runners into a publishing house of exceptional quality. Our brand of experimental adventure will included two distinct imprints, one focused on genre publishing for the outside track and one on publication of high-profile true crime.

King's Bridge
We are a vehicle for high-risk professionals to publish and receive creative direction and development while protecting their interests, long-standing agreements, and anonymity. All works and identities will be fictionalized and safe-guarded to the extent of protections required by author, oath, and NDA.

Rook Creek Books
We mean to take risks. This venue is for authors of non-traditional forms, styles, or content not popularized by mainstream fiction. This wild place will be an arena for spec fic and genre-bending anomalies.
 
Stay tuned for our 2020 title announcements and open call opportunities.
