About me:
Casperian Books is an independent publishing company located in Sacramento, California. We publish great books in a variety of genres by authors who have no interest in being published by mainstream publishers.

We are ardent supporters of small business and creative guerrilla movements, whether they be in publishing, music, or film, and we believe in diverse voices, different viewpoints, and departures from the status quo. Most of all, we believe in good books.

(For the record, Casperian Books is actually an "it", a limited liability company run by yours truly with regular contributions of labor from three or four other people, all of it more or less pro bono. Since we've only been around about two years, COPA won't allow me to put our real "birthday" in the appropriate fields either, so I'm going with Armistice Day, just because I've always liked the last chapter of All Quiet on the Western Front.)

THE SMOKING POET SUMMER 2008 ISSUE

And they arrived, and kept arriving, story after story, one better than the next. We were amazed and cheered at the riches at our door. Our first annual short story contest brought us stories from all points of the globe: all corners of the United States, as well as Italy, France, China, Spain and many more. One author was 16 years old, yet his writing certainly did not bespeak his young years. Other authors had years of achievement pinned like medals to their chests—published novels, awards and prizes, publishing histories that blushed with authority. That was not our criteria of judgment, however. There was only one criterion: literary quality.

Come read winning entries by Grace Delobel, Martha Clarkson, Phil Haddock, and Paul Bowers. Also, feature author interviews with Lynn Stegner; YA author, Kate Buckley; artist-photographer, Ed Rode; fiction, non-fiction, poetry, cigar reviews, book reviews and much more. It’s our best yet and still getting better.

Just wanted to give you a heads up that my latest forensic crime thriller, Freezer Burn, is coming out June 3 ...that's tomorrow! It’s available for preorder on Amazon right now! I'll be doing a bunch of events in and around Philadelphia. For details, see my profile.
Thanks for the friendship!

Writing as D. H. Dublin, Jon McGoran is author of Blood Poison and Body Trace from Penguin Books.
Look for Freezer Burn, in bookstores everywhere, June 3, 2008.

Hi Casperian and Friends,

I would like to invite everyone to stop on by my blog, check out the prologue to "Close Enough for Government Work" and leave me a "Howdy". Everyone who does between March 29 and April 20 will be entered to win an autographed copy OR will achieve literary immortality through having a character in my novel-in-progress named for him or her.

Best,
Alan

Check it out: “Potato I Have” at ELIMAE this month. It’s a derived text that tracks Joyce’s use of the potato—a talisman for Bloom—in Ulysses.

Happy New Year

Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain —
Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.
-attributed to Edgar Allan Poe

Here's to clambering visions, and happy Halloween!

I learned of your press through a notice at Manna Francis's blog. I'm delighted to see that her Mind Fuck will be making it into print.

Thank you also for the helpful hints on your Website for setting up a small press.
