About Red Ronin Books:
You may find the original title of my ‘publishing house’ was Bard’s Tale Press. But say those three words to someone and you get a mixed result. The expression on people’s faces said it all. Bard? It has a tail? The polite rise of the eyebrows saying ‘what’?

I liked it. It meant something to me, but it had to change.

You’re now looking through Red Ronin Books. Same thing right? Well, maybe a little, but at least Ronin is pretty easy to spell. Ronin refers to a samurai warrior who has lost his master to an untimely death. It was a disgrace in Japan’s history, but since the story of the 47 Ronin became such an endearing folktale the connotation is less derogatory. (The 47 Ronin avenged the death of their master though it meant suicide to do so)

I intend to be a Ronin author. Published without the aid of legacy printers along with their bloated staff and time-to-print.

Red Ronin? I’m fond of alliteration, and roninbooks.com was taken.

Will I publish the work of others? I’d be happy to if I can read it first and keep a solid relationship with the author who retains publishing rights.

I hope you enjoy my work and engage those who communicate on this site.

About D R Sanford:
I have dreamt of being a writer since I was a child when I spent days devouring heroic epics.

Of course, everybody grows up and chisels out their niche in life, complete with a wonderful home, spouse, and children.

Thanks to the Amazon revolution, and the amazing success of authors like J. A. Konrath and Blake Crouch, I can work on the stories that fill my head and see them published as well.

I’m planning a trilogy based on the reincarnation of Cuchulain, an Irish hero.  The first installment is FREEFALL, published in 2011. Book two is due the summer of 2012, Double Down. Numerous short stories are also jumping in to expand on the Megalith universe.

I will also adapt a graphic novel manuscript based on the Hero Twins of Mayan mythology.

How about a Canadian werewolf tale.
