YComing soon, the debut collection of short stories by Scottish writer Annie Christie.  In 2016 Annie had three stories published in serial form online by McStorytellers and these are now being published by HoAmPresst in one volume entitled: 
Boy Meets Girl 3.  Publication date is set for 30th November 2016.

You'll be able to purchase it soon from UNCO which is where all HoAmPresst works are now available in ebook and paperback formats. 

HoAmPresst Publishing is now under the ownership of Ayton Publishing Limited. This is hardly the merger/acquisition of the century, more an attempt to get an 'umbrella' for work and make things easier and cheaper to run. 

Ayton Publishing Limited was established to re-publish works by 'forgotten' writers (mostly Scottish) and the first 32 volume 'Galloway Collection' features the work of Scotland's 'forgotten bestseller' S.R.Crockett. More information is available HERE. 

Ayton also now looks after the lists for HoAmPresst Publishing and Guerrilla Midgie Press (the advocacy publisher) and is in the process of setting up a 'one stop' virtual bookstore so that you can buy work from one place. Work is also still available via Amazon online, but we are committed to offering choice to readers, thus want to make work available on all platforms as cheaply as possible.

Ten years ago this week Cally Phillips 'launched' her first novel The Threads of Time.  All this week she's blogging about the 'journey' at McVoices and on the anniversary itself (3rd) she'll be virtually recreating the experience as a Facebook Event on her page.  Check around this site for more information about The Threads of Time including reviews, the launch 'speech' and the story behind the story. 

HoAmPresst is excited to announce that we are going to be working with iMake's Webpad service in order to offer ebooks direct from publisher to reader - for those who would rather not buy through Amazon or Apple, but want an easy way to get ebooks onto the ereader of their choice.

You wait 10 years for a Triptych then two come along at once. 

Welcome to the revamped HoAmPresst Publishing website.  Our first piece of news is the today's launch of Triptych and by extension, Triptych 2. 

Triptych is: 
'A powerful and cleverly constructed trio of plays linked in subtle but unmistakable ways.' 

In Love is an Urban Myth, we are cast as voyeurs into the relationship of Dave and Sarah and learn that beginnings, middles and endings in life rarely come in all the expected places. 

In When Time Stands Still, the kitchen sink drama is transported to Mars. Matti, Armstrong and Elaine struggle with a love triangle which is literally out of this world and outside time.

In The Other Side of the Mountain, Xavier and James explore the dichotomy between the living and the intellectual Dao in their search for Lao Tzu. And have to come to terms with their own mortality in the process. 

'These are intense, engaging and ultimately deeply moving explorations of human relationships under pressure.''

‘I would love to see any or all of these three powerful plays on stage, but they also make a satisfying and thought provoking read.' (Catherine Czerkawska, playwright) 

These three plays while written some years apart, were performed together as Triptych over a weekend in March 2003 and are being published to mark the 10th anniversary of that event.
