A Lurid Explanation of the Ultra-Decadent Hoegbotton & Sons Imprint

Every so often a project lends itself to self-publication. Sometimes the text requires perfect execution of layout and design for success - to the point that the author and/or artist requires complete control over those elements. Sometimes, frankly, the material for a particular project would be hard to pitch to a publisher because it is too esoteric. A few of these exclusive publications may eventually be picked up by other publishers for wider distribution and others will never again appear in published form. For such micro publishing events, I've decided to set up Hoegbotton & Sons, modeled after the publishing company in my Ambergris stories. These projects constitute LOLILE - labors of love in limited editions - and are a direct thumb in the eye to the rather crapulous idea of "e-books".

Upcoming projects may include Learning to Leave the Flesh: Three Lost Tales, and Henry and the Frog. Learning to Leave the Flesh: Three Lost Tales is a collection of three undeservedly "lost" stories - published in very obscure publications or not reviewed by critics. Henry and the Frog is a children's story about a boy with a frog in his throat. Need I say more?
