You've finished your book, you have a bestseller. But how can you get your book into Barnes & Noble and all the best bookstores without having to give up all your book rights to a traditional book publisher, and get proper 50% royalties for all your hard work.
Houston, TX, June 20, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Schiel & Denver Book Publishing Companies proudly releases Tom Lawrence's Delta Days, a series of short stories about coming of age in the 1950’s Mississippi Delta, a time and place that no longer exists. Trying to tell to the digital kids of today about a world without television, the internet, the iPod and texting, one might as well be describing the dark ages. What and where was this strange and sometimes magical land called the Delta?
The Mississippi Delta books starts in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee and ends on catfish row in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The Delta is an alluvial deposit of thirty feet of fertile loam, stolen from the prairies of America’s Midwestern breadbasket by the Mississippi River and moved down south by annual flooding. The soil of the Corn Belt is now nurturing King Cotton.
Tom Lawrence's book explores the 1950’s the Delta as more than just a geographical location, it was home to a unique social, political and economic system that reflected the best and the worst of our southern agrarian society. The plantation system was colliding head on with the twentieth century. A black majority was held in the grip of segregation by a mostly benevolent non-black minority.
This ruling class was not an aristocracy of planters and merchant princes, but a diverse group of adventurers, immigrants and the yeomanry of the southern piedmont. Early on the sons of the establishment looking for new opportunity were soon joined by poor whites just looking for a way to feed their families.
The characters in these stories are, for the most part, composites of several people, the locations too are composites. Cumberland may be Ruleville in one story and Cleveland in the next. There is a kernel of truth in all of the stories, but in general they are pure fiction. Schiel & Denver, equipped with self publishing resources, hopes the reader enjoys the Delta of the 1950’s.
