I've come to realize that I have something to say, and that I
can't always rely on others to help me say it...nor do I always
need to.
Publishing has changed significantly in the first decade of the
century. The use of print-on-demand has shifted from the
wannabe to the worker, from the dreamer to the doer, from the
punter to the practitioner.
I have named my imprint West Wharf Books™ in honor of the
West Wharf of the Town of Madison, Connecticut. It was a
place of magic and discovery. Its rocks and tides changed little
over time, but it was always new and wonderful.
Much like my blog, my press will serve as a creative outlet for
my poetry, essays, and serious academic work on music and
the pipe organ. Watch here for titles as they become available.
Thanks for your interest in my work.
