A
group of readers and writers from Whanganui, New Zealand, teamed up in December
2011 to put their love of books into a new publishing business, Tangerine
Publications.
Discovering
they had a mutual appreciation for literature, as well as experience in
writing, publishing and marketing, Joan Rosier-Jones, Prabh Mokha, Cass
Alexander and Gayelene Holly decided the time was ripe to develop a business to
reflect the rapidly changing face of book publishing.
Tangerine
Publications focuses on new publishing strategies like e-books but also provides
a print-on-demand option for those who prefer the touch and feel of a printed
book.
Fantasy
novel The Last Sanctuary by Prabh
Mokha, was the first booked launched.
Two other works are available in e-book and print on demand format: Mind
Changers is a book for teens, written by Sasha Gabrielle Murray who lives
in New York while Waiting for Elizabeth
by Joan Rosier-Jones, set in Tudor Ireland, is a historical novel, based on
true events.
The
next book to be launched is Mike Ponder’s Four
Kings, a stand-alone sequel to The
Windsor Conspiracy. Four Kings is the story of a Zimbabwean
man who, after his land is destroyed, vows to seek revenge while uncovering a
conspiracy. The Four Kings launch will be held in December 2012.
A
number of children’s books are also in the pipeline. The Tangerine works with
talented authors, illustrators and designers from around New Zealand.
“It
is a pleasure working with such gifted authors and illustrators. The
professionalism and talent amongst New Zealand’s creative community is vast,” says
Joan Rosier-Jones.
Tangerine
Publications will also republish some of New Zealand’s iconic literature with Visiting Ghosts, Judith White’s
award-winning collection of short stories, in the pipeline.
