We are still open for full novel manuscript submissions. Please see the submissions page for details.

John F Duffy’s upcoming novel, “Where When It Rains,” received a glowing review from Independent Book Review which stated:

“As painful as it can be at times, Where When It Rains is lovely. Dark, bleak, and hopeless, but lovely nonetheless. The care with which it handles its broken but genuine characters, the way it allows the story to unravel at its own uneven pace, the wonderful little additions of seemingly superfluous storylines all build a powerful narrative that will stay with you long after it is done.”
