Metropolis Ink  Home Browse books by Author or Title End Table Books Quantity discounts Picture gallery Go to Checkout About buying books Author services About Metropolis Ink  New in June '08 Becoming A Chronicle of Metamorphosis by Mark Lichterman 736 pages ISBN 978-0-646-49216-2 Do you remember... The first time you inhaled a cigarette? Your first swallow of hard liquor? The thrill of the first exploration of the body of your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife... your own body? Your first orgasm? Remember when as a people we loved America, and showed it? Then you might be ready for a nostalgic, funny, romantic, sexually frustrating novel. A novel that may remind many of us of ourselves, “way back then,” when God’s most mysterious creation was the opposite sex. A novel about life and the often funny, sometimes sad, day-to-day things that stir the memories of our lives. Reminiscent of the Neil Simon trilogy, Philip Roth’s Portnoy’s Complaint and the humorous writing of Jean Shepherd in the mid and late sixties; uniquely original, we are introduced to five-year-old Mitchie in 1939 in an ethnically diverse, lower middle-class neighborhood on the west side of Chicago. As children do, subtly growing over the next sixteen years, seeing World War Two through the eyes of this Jewish child, and later, lying about his age, joining the National Guard, “’cause girls love guys in uniform.” Accidentally getting caught up in the Korean war at age fifteen, Becoming follows Mitchell’s life in a series of nostalgic, comical, romantic, sad and — because “those” situations with girls, and later women, rarely conclude as young men hope — vividly described, extremely funny sexual situations. Becoming climaxes hilariously in 1955, in Brighton Beach, New York, when Mitchell is twenty-one and a man… or, because it takes more than age and size to “become” one... the semblance of a man. Click here for details Sandra Worth's award-winning Rose of York trilogy The Rose of York series has won literary awards in Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Texas and Arizona, including the Francis Ford Coppola New Century Writers Award.    Love and War Crown of Destiny Fall from Grace Love & War Set in Malory’s England during the Wars of the Roses, this acclaimed winner of a remarkable seven awards tells the true story of two star-crossed lovers -- Richard of Gloucester and Lady Anne Neville -- before they become King and Queen of England. A stirring tale of romance and intrigue. ISBN:0-9751264-0-7 340 pages, $16.95 Crown of Destiny Richard III is said to have murdered his royal nephews for the throne but this second historical novel in THE ROSE OF YORK series-- winners of a remarkable eleven awards-- tells a different, well-documented and dramatic tale: In a court rotten with intrigue, the late Edward IV’s detested queen makes a grab for power, forcing Richard of Gloucester into an excruciating decision that changes history. ISBN: 0-9751264-8-2 176 pages, $14.95 Fall From Grace Defying Shakespeare portrayal of Richard III, this well researched novel concludes THE ROSE OF YORK series-- winners of a remarkable ten awards, including the first place prize in the Francis Ford Coppola NEW CENTURY WRITERS AWARDS. Set in Malory’s England, it traces Richard’s remarkable reign, his passion for justice and undying devotion to Anne, and delves into the still-unresolved mystery of his nephews’ disappearance. A stirring saga of courage, sacrifice and love. ISBN: 0-9751264-9-0 272 pages, $16.95 Bookstores may order from Biblio Distribution: 800-462-6420 "British history is a long-time passion of mine; the Plantagenets in general and Richard III in particular. I have devoured every book I can find on the subject. This book is, by far, the very best I have ever read about King Richard. Ms. Worth makes the people so real that I feel I know them personally. In fact, they are so real that I felt slightly voyeuristic while reading the love scenes between Richard and his Anne. I actually had tears in my eyes when the lovers were re-united in the cookhouse. I can barely wait for the sequel. Thank you, Ms. Worth." -- M.Moore Metropolis Ink wins its second Glyph award with Sandra Worth's The Rose of York: Love & War.  In this hard, cold, heart-breaking publishing world, Metropolis Ink is a small publisher worth its weight in gold. In days when so-called marketing experts determine what books are birthed for readers, with money driving the final decision, Metropolis Ink, the creation of partners David Major and Kurt Florman, returns book publishing to the way it ought to be: with their vision, faith and innate ability to know a good book when they see one, Metropolis Ink publishes wonderful books truly deserving to be on our book shelves. With an increasing list of fiction and non-fiction covering the whole spectrum of our existence, Metropolis Ink’s books entertain, inform, make us cry and are simply unforgettable. Many of them written by first-time authors, the marketing departments of bigger publishers may never have allowed these books to see publication because – despite their obvious worth – they might have been deemed too great a risk. In 2003, one of Metropolis Ink’s books, Dear Heart, How Like You This? brought home the Arizona Book Publishing Association semi-annual Glyph Award for Best Adult Fiction. Now, The Rose of York: Love and War has won the 2005 Glyph award for best general fiction; the second award in a row for Metropolis Ink! But that’s only part of the story. Love and War, despite receiving many awards as an unpublished manuscript, languished for years, a book rejected by countless publishers, before arriving on the desk of Kurt Florman, Metropolis Ink’s editor-in-chief. Seeking well-written manuscripts with broad appeal, Florman knew "Love and War" was a winner and, after publishing it in End Table Books, an imprint of Metropolis Ink, he’s been proved right, yet again. Sandra Worth’s debut novel, the first novel of a three-part series about Richard III, has now ten awards to its credit and Metropolis Ink its second ABPA Glyph. The second volume in the series, Crown of Destiny, is currently in the late stages of preparation, and will be available soon.  WINNER OF THE GLYPH AWARD FOR BEST ADULT FICTION 2004 First runner up commerical ficton Writers Notes Award Dear Heart, How Like You This? Wendy J. Dunn 325 pages, $16.95 "A heart-rending tale of love and loss. Narrated by the poet Thomas Wyatt, the reader embarks on a fascinating journey that takes us from the yews of Hever Castle in Kent to the intrigue-laden courts of England, France, and Rome, as Wyatt recalls his desperate, and often helpless, desire for a woman whom he cannot save - the ill-fated Anne Boleyn. By turns wildly romantic and imbued with poetic melancholia, Dunn's assured prose brings to life the charismatic Wyatt, depicting through his eyes Anne Boleyn’s transformation from a spirited child to wronged woman bent on exacting vengeance from a heartless king, and a queen tormented by her own ambitions, until her final horrifying hour on Tower green - an hour that destroys Wyatt's innocence forever. "Dunn depicts Anne, and her brother George, as warm-hearted, intelligent persons, confidants in a triptych that includes Wyatt. Each in their own way is caught up in Henry VIII’s brutal machinations, but it is Wyatt who truly captures the imagination: a man with an abiding curiosity in the world around him, who cannot help but bear witness to the Boleyns dizzying rise and terrifying fall, even as he, too, is swept up in events beyond his control. His own faithless alliance with an adulterous wife; his love for a father succumbing to a relentless illness; his ambivalence toward his children; and his self-doubts as to his ultimate importance in a society overturned by the tumult of the Reformation underpin this tender story that dares to ask the question: What does it mean to love? "Though framed as an account of arguably the most famous of Henry VIII’s six wives, Dear Heart is far more than another re-telling of a well-trodden tale. For entwined with the glamorous, ultimately tragic, story of Anne Boleyn’s life and death, is that of an inherently good man’s struggle with the evils of his time, and of the toll that is often exacted of those who finds themselves immersed in the sweeping tides of historical change..." -- Christopher Gortner, author of The Secret Lion Click here to go to Wendy's web site. n e w s  Sue Lange, author of Tritcheon Hash, has a new website. "Funny, perceptive and hard-hitting by turns – welcome to a new and witty voice in sf satire." -- John Grant, co-editor, The Encyclopedia of Fantasy "Author Wendy J. Dunn’s Dear Heart, How Like You This? novel about Anne Boleyn, the lovely, ill-fated Queen, has won two prestigious awards: the 2003 ABPA GLYPH AWARD WINNER for Best Adult Fiction and First Runner Up in the WRITERS NOTES AWARD.
