It is a lazy
beautiful day in Arizona, USA. The drizzle of the monsoons tap a soothing sound
on the patio cover above me as I think about the mystery of Cactus Rain
Publishing. A few years ago, a close friend told me that CRP would never work.
It does work.
What is the secret? It is hard to say, and it is probably more than one thing that works. We don’t advertise – at all. Maybe we have passed on some
mss that we shouldn’t have passed. However, we have done well with those we
selected.
I think that
Irene Watson nailed it when she wrote about my novels that, “Nadine produces
works of social relevance.”
That is also true
of the novels we publish.
Of course, we
look at writing ability and style. Though, the social message of our books is
what speaks to me as I read the submitted manuscripts. For me, it is probably the tipping point.
What does
anything matter if we don’t continue to evolve into better people, better
societies? Though there are many others who do more and larger than our small
voice, I believe we quietly and gently contribute to the betterment of all of
those who read our books, without being preachy and forceful.
Our books, and
those under contract, speak to critical issues and in the end, good wins over
evil in the characters.
