"Unintended Consequences stands as an unexpectedly delicious read. Larry Fondation speaks the language of those fallen from grace, fallen from societal norm, and those fallen from reading the mass marketed novels widely flung out to literary junkies by corporate America.

I’d say that The Washington Post review of Welcome to Oakland was very positive! Here’s my favorite section: “Some readers will be inclined to fling ‘Welcome to Oakland’ into the nearest grease pit. This would probably come as no surprise to the author, but ignoring Williamson would be a mistake. For those who can stomach…

Sheep and Wolves is available for Kindle here. I’ll probably be adding more Kindle books in the future. When the format of the book is standard they’re pretty easy to create. However, we’ve got quite a few releases that rely heavily on complex formatting and those may be next to impossible to make available.

Jodi Lee recently interviewed D. Harlan Wilson about submissions, rejections, critiques and other writerly subjects. Check out the interview here.

Isabel Burning is now available for the Kindle! This is only my second attempt at formatting one of our titles for Kindle. I don’t have one so if anyone out there gets a copy I’d love some feedback on how it compares to other books formatted for Kindle. You can buy it here:

There is an awesome review of Finale now up a the examiner. Here’s an excerpt: “Simply put, if someone had to give FINALE a one-word review that begins with the letter “F”, many would probably say “Formidable” because it seems numerous writers will attempt to compose a great American novel and never produce anything with…

The first batch of the A Rhapsody for the Eternal limiteds recently came in. Each has a different, hand painted cover. I’ve shipped off all the copies but I just had to take a picture of them all together before doing that. I think they look so awesome this way! You can still order a…

Here’s what they said about Welcome to Oakland: “…the novel’s greatest strength comes from the fact that no matter how low…

An interview with Larry Fondation about Unintended Consequences has just gone up at Hobart. Here’s an excerpt: “…I think all good art should be disturbing in some way — aesthetically, politically — in one way or another, it should upset the established order. It should not be safe.” Read the whole interview.

Prick of the Spindle has reviewed Finale. Here’s an excerpt: “Paul A. Toth’s novel Finale concludes in a surrealist declension, in the sense of both the grammar and plot, which collides with all the fractal possibility and random order of a Jackson Pollock painting….Dramatic? Yes. Entertaining? In its entirety.”—Cynthia Reeser Read the full review.
