Books & E-Books
New
River Press became an independent commercial book publisher in 1998
with the release of Wheels Up: Adventures of a Private Pilot
by James D. Nisbet. A number of non-fiction books followed by
several different authors. In 2007, we decided to branch out into
fiction and specialized non-fiction under the imprint Barking Cat
Books. Thus, in 2008, there appeared Heaven's Wave: A Novel of
the Doomsday Prophecy of 2012 by DeEarlon, and Growing Up
Italian by Dr. Ed Iannuccilli.
New River Press/Barking Cat Books was considered such a success among "small presses" that founder Paul F. Eno was invited to address the Independent Publishers Association Convention in New York City in 2008. With sweeping changes taking place in standard publishing, however, the "writing was on the wall," and it was decided in 2009 to get out of standard print publishing in favor of digital electronic publishing (e-publishing).
