Cover to Cover #64: Richard Purtill / Lynn Terelle

May 29, 2003 by Michael R. Mennenga

Richard Purtill
Now here’s an interesting concept. Take an author who wrote a book 30 years ago under a traditional publishing house and find a way to re-release the book without a massive run. That’s what Richard Purtill did with The Golden Gryphon Feather. His book mixes archeology and mythology, which is very apropos considering he mixed traditional publishing with POD, or Print On Demand.

Richard gives great insight into the world of publishing, having a writing career that spans many years and many different publishers. He brings a new spin on the usefulness of POD, something other authors who’ve had books go out of print might want to listen to.

Lynn Terelle
Lynn tackles the moral challenges of cloning in her book, The Book of Daniel. In this book, cloning is both responsible for a global apocalypse and our species only salvation. Playing off of several famous characters from both the ancient and the modern world, Lynn spins a tale of intrigue and mystery… with a message. It’s a great book! Don’t miss it.
