An Honest Lie Volume 1: Encouraging the Delinquency of Your Inner Child includes great pieces by top of the pile authors like Brittney Dillard, Bob Clark, Robert Dean, and Will Terry. This is a “can’t miss” volume of some of the best up and coming writers in the business today.

An Honest Lie Volume 2: Delusions of Insignificance is just as exciting and features new authors like, Claire Ibarra, Cynthia Witherspoon, Patrick Scalisi, and Jessica Dunn as well as returning greats such as Eric Trant (who is also, incidentally, the winner of the coveted An Honest Lie Book Deal) and C.B. Calsing who gave us All Along the Pacific.

barnes_noble_1Don’t forget, we are also taking submissions for An Honest Lie Volume 3: Justifiable Hypocrisy. We’ve seen more than a few great submissions and now, we are looking to read yours. Throw down your fanciest gauntlet and see if you have the chops to make the grade. Check out the Submission Guidelines for more information.
And now … as always it has been a thrill but we must, I’m afraid, bid you a fond farewell. Until next time dear friends and fans; until next time.

What’s Going On?

Posted on Wednesday, January 12, 2011 in Jr. Editor Blog

ohpnewlogoHey there friends and fans of Open Heart Publishing. We hope your new year is treating you right so far. Things are looking bright for us and I am here to share some of it with you today.

Last night the staff of Open Heart Publishing gathered to do some brain storming and to make some decisions about the coming months. And, because you can’t have a creative meeting and not have some fun, we celebrated not one but two birthdays. Our fearless leader Debrin turned on the eighth and our newest addition Melanie turned yesterday. Happy birthday to you both.

As you already know our An Honest Lie Volume 1 winner Eric Trant will be bringing us something amazing in the coming year. Without giving away too many details, I want to tell you that what we are looking at is simply amazing. We’re excited about it.

Also, we are working on a new project, a quarterly literary ezine called “Ramble Tree”. This is going to be a great project. And with it are going to come some great updates to our websites. Keep following us over the next 60 days or so for sneak peeks and all of the glorious details.

Debrin will soon be embarking on a bit of a walk about as well. He’s going to be visiting book stores, libraries and other places around the country promoting our work and our company. Stay tuned for his schedule and when he’s in your town drop in to say hi, and buy a book. Who knows, he may even sign one for you.

Finally, and this is amazing, one of our contributors, Cynthia Witherspoon, writing as Cynthia Gael, is in the running for The Best Young Adult award for her novel Balefire and Moonstone. Look her up and vote for her here. While you’re at it like her Facebook page as well.

Until next time … keep writing, keep reading.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year

The last year has been a big one for us here at Open Heart Publishing. I took over the Jr. Editors Desk in July, but before that there was the publication of The Cave of Colors and A Children’s Book of Necromancy. Both of which joined us with An Honest Lie Volume 1: Encouraging the Delinquency of your Inner Child at AnimeFest in Dallas. An Honest Lie Volume 2: Delusions of Insignificance was published followed not long after by author C.B. Calsings All Along the Pacific, a historical fiction anthology that gives us a glimpse of early Americana. And at the end we are revved up to start it all over again. Don’t forget we are now accepting submissions for An Honest Lie Volume 3: Justifiable Hypocrisy

It’s past Christmas but we are still fully in the swing of the holiday season. It’s not too late to order your copy of any of our great books. You can do your part to support the small press and check out our store.

Earlier today I had a long conversation with Our Fearless Leader and he let me in on some pretty exciting stuff. Something about t***rs and a bit about e****s and some thing else about E***c T***t. As you can see the company censors are all over it and won’t let me leak anything right now. I can tell you that we have some secrets and surprises in store for 2011. Even though I’m not allowed to give any spoilers … I am going to do everything I can to ferret out the details and, as ever friends and fans, I will spirit them on swift wings to your ear.

Until then, I wish you all a happy and prosperous new year. Have a safe and sane weekend. See you next year baby! Whooo!
