Phoenician Books

Publisher info

PHOENICIAN BOOKS is a publishing company specializing in "old school" style "scifi" and focused on publishing stories that are on the fringe of hard science but not quite crossing the blurry line into fantasy genre.

The blurry line hovers around ghost stories and time travel which are, technically, fantasy but historically have fallen into the scifi arena and almost definitely will be published by PHOENICIAN BOOKS. Think of stories you saw on the original Twilight Zone or the new Fringe television shows and that's what we'll be publishing.

The @phoenicianbooks Twitter account is "helmed" by Friday Baldwin (our first author). She's been tweeting about her new release, CONDITIONED RESPONSE (now available here on Smashwords) and in August, 2012, the Phoenician Series short novella WHEN MINDS COLLIDE (priced at FREE, get a copy now!)
