EBUZZ: Cobblestone Press

Another soon to be available epublisher is Cobblestone Press. And when I say new, I mean new, they open their virtual doors in five days! We are an electronic publisher of sensual and erotic romance seeking creative storytelling and original style. Because we at Cobblestone Press are selective about what we accept, we are looking for authors to set the standard of writing for this new press; authors that show extraordinary ability to weave tales of romance through strong, unforgettable characters, plots that twist and turn with layers of conflict and emotion, and a style that sets them apart from other writers in the market. Their books will only be available in ebook. Right now there are no plans to have any print books. But at the heart of it, Cobblestone looks to be a Romance Publisher, first and foremost. They have hawt lines, they have paranormal but they are looking to give readers their HEA. I haven't read any of their books yet, so I can't say if they meet that mark, but looks like they at least have the aim in mind. Coming Soon!
