We’ve got some exciting projects on the way! Unfortunately we’ve run into a few hiccups that will delay the launch of Beach Book Classics and may temporarily impact the availability of “Nightmares and Lullabies” in paperback. We made the difficult decision to accept these delays in order to migrate our business to a new distributor. Links to individual titles, with more detail information, can be found on our Books page.
In the meantime, Beach Book Press is excited to announce that both “Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun” and its sequel, “Beyond the Rivers of Time,” are finalists in the 2024 Page Turner Awards competition. We’re proud to be the press bringing these novels to market, and even more proud of Ronald’s additional nomination for the 2024 Page Turner “Prolific Writer” award! And we can assure you, these novels will launch on schedule, with “Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun” leading the way on December 1, 2024.
| In 2025, we’ll be launching Beach Book Classics, with our first collection from editor Dan Dugan, creator of Dan Dugan Editions, “That Which is Hidden.” A collection of four stories, originally published in Weird Tales magazine, written by Manly Wade Wellman (also writing as Gans T. Field). Dan has a knack for spotting overlooked or forgotten gems in the horror, sci-fi, and fantasy genres. With skillful editing and a light touch, Dan breathes new life into classic stories that helped establish the popular genres he loves. Think of Dan as the Turner Classic Movies of literature, working to preserve a rich heritage for future generations of readers. |  |
 | Now available wherever books are sold, our first young adult science fiction launch, with Ronald McGuire’s debut novel, “Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun.” And the adventure continues with the early 2025 release of “Beyond the Rivers of Time.” Both novels are 2024 Page Turner Award Finalists! |
| Also available now, McGuire’s collection of LGBTQ stories, “Nightmares & Lullabies.” A collection that runs the gamut from first love, to the afterlife, with some sci-fi and horror detours along the way. |  |
And we’ll be open for submissions in late 2024 as we put together “Beach Book 2025,” a collection of flash fiction, short stories, and photographs, crafted and collected for the vacation reader.
And finally, if we can keep him focused and writing, we’re hoping to have Charlie Barnes’ second novel, “Adulting,” available no later than February 2025. (We originally planned to release it in December, but we haven’t seen so much as a sentence yet, so we’re pushing this one back so Charlie doesn’t rush it).
