“Outskirts Press far exceeded my expectations when I decided to self-publish my novel Teflon Shelly. From my first contact with my assigned publishing consultant to the day my first books were delivered, the whole publishing experience was one positive journey. My author representative was quick to respond to any inquiry I had and offered some very helpful suggestions when I needed to make some corrections. Through the entire process Outskirts Press allowed me to remain in control and have the final say. Once published, their marketing COACH continued to provide valuable marketing suggestions to assist in my novel’s success which only enhanced my positive publishing experience. Thank you for making what seemed impossible a reality!”

Product description…
“A dark secret…uncovered from the ashes”
The accidental carbon monoxide deaths of her brothers and sisters in 1966 left Shelly Summers an only child that encountered both sexual and physical abuse. Three of her own children would populate the rural cemetery east of the flashing yellow light in the little hamlet in Central New York having met horrific deaths. Two of which were burned alive. Three other children that had a connection with Shelly would meet a fiery demise and a seventh child would mysteriously drown. Forty-two years of fires would follow Shelly until police, prosecutors and fire investigators of multiple counties and agencies utilized their resources to end “Teflon Shelly’s” reign of terror.Outskirts Press Review
