“I have published 2 books with Outskirts Press now. I am happy with the professionalism of the company representatives as well as the fact that the company keeps its promises and does everything that they say will do. I started out in self publishing with a competitor and wasted over $6000 trying to get my books out to the public. I would place calls to them for progress reports and would never get a call back. In fact, about the only time they would call me was when they wanted to sell me another product. After a bit of adding additional information and re-editing the book, I contacted Outskirts Press. They kept in contact with me every step of the way, and Pinned – A Kentucky True Crime was published. Within a few weeks, the book was listed on Amazon and Barnes and Noble sites and I was actually making sales.
I followed up this experience with this new book, Stains on the Gavel. It too was published by Outskirts Press in a quick turnaround and is represented at all the appropriate outlets. I would recommend to anyone interested in getting results with minimum hassle, to contact Outskirts Press and speak to one of their knowledgeable account executives. Outskirts offers several cost effective publishing packages and from my experience, they are a joy to work with.”

Product description…
This story is about southern Kentucky, where the rules are sometimes made up on the fly. Mark Casey has been arrested for crimes he did not commit. Now the battle begins between Mark and the good ‘ol boys of Kentucky. The odyssey that began for Mark in the book Pinned – A Kentucky True Crime, continues now in Stains on the Gavel. This is the second novel of the ’Blue Grass’ Series, and details what some might call, Kentucky Injustice. This particular case is a big deal for a little rural town where nothing much ever happens. The Prosecution has virtually no evidence against Mark and the case is built on speculation. It’s looking like an acquittal is the logical outcome. But in southern Kentucky, money always carries a lot of weight. Mark is about to find that even in the bible-belt, not everybody lives by ‘The Golden Rule’ and sometimes personal gain can outweigh the obvious call for justice.Outskirts Press Review
