Twilight Times Books was established January 1999 as an Internet epublisher. In 2004, we expanded our operations and evolved into a small trade publishing house. Due to an exceptional front list of books, all with four star reviews, the print division of Twilight Times Books launched twenty-one titles in trade paperback in 2004. Over fifty titles are currently in print and we plan to release fourteen titles in 2008.

Our books are distributed internationally through BCH, Florida Academic Press (FAP Books, Inc.) and selected titles are distributed by Midpoint Trade Books. Members of the media, booksellers and retails can download flyers, sell sheets, reviews and chapter excerpts from our media room.

Magazines

Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine (FMAM)
FUTURES Magazine is a welcome member to the small number of gallant publications open to the new and the more established mystery writers and artists. The magazine is well worth reading carefully.

Publishing

Electronic Publishing
Download versions of our books are available in PDF, HTML or Palm formats. LIT, RB or Hiebook formats are available as a special order. Selected titles are also available on diskette or CD-Rom in PDF or HTML format approximately two weeks after release date. Most of our ebooks are also available for purchase via Fictionwise.

Paperback Publishing
TT Books is a traditional small trade publisher. By traditional we mean our books have national distribution and the author pays nothing for publication of his/her book. We currently publish literary works that are exemplary, that transcend genres and/or are beautifully written. We are highly selective as to what we will accept for publication.

At Twilight Times Books our mission is to promote excellence in writing and great literature. We're dedicated to enhancing the prospects of getting great literary, New Age and SF/F books into the hands of readers.

What people are saying about Twilight Times Books:

In his newsletter for The Philadelphia Science Fiction Society, Dr. Henry Leon Lazarus wrote:
"At one time there were at least fifteen major sf publishers. In the last decade, with the major Publishers being bought out, there have been fewer books available. At the same time it became easier to reissue a book that had sold well its first time out than to print a new author.

Because of this electronic books and the small press have grown, filled with authors unable to get their novels into the major publishing houses – books that would have sold easily a decade before. I’m unwilling to put my dollars into the unknown, but I started this column to introduce people to new and exciting writers that they wouldn’t ordinarily try.

One of these small press publishers, Twilight Times Books was kind enough to send me copies of three of their books and they are batting three for three right now. It’s very encouraging and exciting to be able to report on these. One I mentioned last month." [Jerome and the Seraph.]

"Robina Williams has a contemplative tale about a friary in which brother Jerome is newly dead and trying to learn how to live with it." [trade paperback from Twilight Times Books]

"Patrick Welch's "The Casebook of Doakes and Haig" (trade from Twilight Times Books) is a true giggle. ...I hope this sells well so that I can get more adventures."

"Linda Suzane takes us to a fantasy version of an Oriental civilization that is ruled by those with the special "Eyes of Truth" (trade from Twilight Times Books), the ability to tell when someone is lying... This was a neat tale with a surprising ending and I hope that there will be more puzzles for Dar and Waulo to solve."
