Our editor Debra R Sanchez was at the PennWriters "Area 1 Road Trip" writing conference this past weekend. While there, she met with several aspiring authors with promising results.

We are pleased to say that several authors may be joining our growing Tree Shadow Press family.

Meanwhile, back at the press...watch for upcoming releases of two bilingual picture books, a mid-grade/YA historical fantasy book, a collection of poetry and essays...and more!

One of the picture books is "Castoff Canine" by a debut author and tells the true story of a rescue dog who became a therapy dog.

The other picture book is the sequel to "Annzie the Brave" titled "Annzie's New Lungs".

The mid-grade/YA book "Breaking the Silence" is a captivating tale of a young boy who learns...well...we won't give too much away. It is set in Medieval France. There will be an English language version and also a Spanish one. We are especially excited for this book. Our editor picked it up at last year's Road Trip conference.

There are several other books in various stages of development.

Watch for more details as we BRANCH OUT and GROW!
