After considering several indie publishers, the Author felt that none was right for publishing THE DREAM LAND trilogy. Wishing for more creative control, the Author created TANGENTIAL BOOKS to publish the trilogy and related books and materials. 
For distribution and promotion, the Author has teamed with Myrddin Publishing GroupThe name 'Tangential' of course refers to the interdimensional doorways the hero and heroine of the trilogy use to go back and forth between the two worlds; thus, it seemed a particularly appropriate name.
