InknBeans Press is all about the ultimate reading experience. We believe books are the greatest treasures of mankind. In them are held all the history, fantasy, hope and horror of humanity. We can experience the past, dream of the future, understand how everything works from an atomic clock to the human heart. We can explore our souls, fight epic battles, swoon in love. We can fly, we can run, we can cross mighty oceans and endless universes. We can invite ancient cultures into our living room, and walk on the moon. And if we can do it with a decent cup of coffee beside us...well, what more can we ask, right?

  • A Peculiar Collection on April 29, 2010
    star star star star star
    I read this collection because I wanted to encourage another writer. Tales of the dark, the supernatural, the unexplained are generally not my cuppa'. However, one must give credit where it is due, and it is due in this case. Ms. Hinsley has created a page turner, with chills, and surprises, and real, human reaction. If you like a book that has you looking over your shoulder, get this one. Well done, Ms. Hinsley.
  • At the Sharpe End on March 10, 2012
    star star star star star
    Open any major newspaper in any city in the world in 2008 and you have the backdrop of At The Sharpe End. Take a westerner and settle him (almost) comfortably in Japan during a time of financial and political turmoil, and then hand him some technology he shouldn't have and you have the front story. Briton Ken Sharpe didn't ask for this technology which has very dangerous applications, but once he has it and figures out its potential, everyone wants it back. Now he's in the middle of East/West political power struggles, blackmail, threats, and murder. He just might have to save the day, just to save his own life.
