October, 2005 is an important month to us all!  This is the month that Publish America is making it's titles available to bookstores on a returnable basis! 

Karl Stuart Kline is one of the best authors available under their imprint and has been one of only ten of their authors designated as a "Featured Author."  His uniquely effective blend of prose, poetry and story telling abilities has produced two books that pull the reader along with them as they relate modern real life tragedies in first person verse, making the reader a part of the stories that they tell.  That evaluation is reinforced by Expository Magazine's review of his first book, Poison Pearls, where the first paragraph is as follows:

"Poison Pearls" is a vivid mix of poetry and prose about slavery, forced labor and prostitution.  In this collection of poetry, Kline masterfully conveys the hopelessness and desperation that must be felt by so many women and children who are forced into slavery and prostitution around the world.

Victoria Smith, editor in chief of Expository Magazine, was the author of the review.

Poison Pearls (ISBN 1-4137-1502-8) is his first book and is still available in it's first edition imprint.

Going Without Peggy (ISBN 1-4137-7178-5) will probably be the first of his books to become available on a returnable basis.  New and not yet reviewed by a major magazine, it has nonetheless been nominated and accepted in two categories for the 2006 Pulitzer Prize competition. (As a book of verse and as a biography.)

For whoever is interested, further information is available throughout this site.

Ingram's is the distributor for Publish America titles and these can be acquired through them.
