New Year, New Genres

2026 and 2027 will see an active expansion to include contemporary romance, women's fiction, supernatural thrillers, and action-adventure in our publishing categories, while our imprint Satin Smoke Press continues to publish dark fantasy, horror, and paranormal romance.

We are also planning a bi-yearly magazine to showcase a range of authors' works that cover all the above genres.

Further information will be posted here nearer the time, including firm publication dates of forthcoming novels.

Our first announced publication date is for novel, On the A162 from York, released on 3rd December 2026, although we may bring out other stories (yet to be announced) sooner:


On the A162 from York

by Elysa Summers

It was 1972. She was running; he was drifting...

Felicity Cooper is on the run from the city of York, heading south. It's the summer of 1972, but her parents live in the dark ages, demanding she marry Henry, her father's colleague at the bank. Behind her back, her mother's set the date and booked the venue; Henry seems to think she's said yes.

Jack has always drifted in life, much to his family's dismay. Unable to focus on any one thing for long, he's left behind a paying job and a broken heart in a tiny village – he's heading north to the city where no one knows him, the pastels in his art bag his only friends.

On the A162, their two worlds collide when Jack almost hits Felicity with his car.

One day and night together leads to another, and another... Finally standing still, the future suddenly holds promise for them both ... if they can just keep everyone else out of theirs.


Escaping family drama in search of freedom and self-identity, look out for this retro romance in late 2026.

Genres: Contemporary Romance, Retro Romance, Women's Fiction, Family Life, Contemporary Lifestyle
