For those not in the know, let me present a few words stolen (umm … procured) from their website, which can be found at http/netboundpublishing.com/Home_Page.html if you are so inclined to check them out. And really, why wouldn’t anyone check out this fast-growing publisher dedicated to the fabulous new and established Indie writers willing to take a different route in the publishing world?
Created by Mikel Classen and Mary Underwood, Netbound Publishing cuts a large swath through the publishing hinterland to deliver several new books which should be on your reading list for the next year. But first, let’s find out what exactly Netbound Publishing and Books believes (ahem, here comes the procured part):
This is a company that is developed for writers by writers. The concept is to not only publish quality books, but to also put quality writers in front of the public and help them become successful.
We Believe:
That writing pulp fiction is not a crime! (But it is often about crime)
Genre fiction can be artistic and literary. (Though I don’t know who’d want it to be wordy and boring)
Young Adults have a right to vampires that don’t sparkle. (And we have a duty to give it to them.)
Romance can and should include a body count. (A strong emotional tie to firearms or explosives counts as romance.)
A western can be set in outer space. (with Nazis)
It’s okay to shoot the piano player. (twice, he sucked)
We have a plan for the zombie apocalypse. (We know you do too)
In Werewolves!

New Releases
We’ve gathered together the best in independent horror authors to create a fresh and exciting anthology that will leave you wanting to howl at the moon. Your screams will fill the night as you read from one story to the next, each more terrifying than the last, as Werewolves feast on your nerves.
Netbound Publishing is pleased to announce what will be the first in a series of horror collections that will become an integral part of their “Night Terrors” imprint to be available to the book store market beginning in the spring of 2011. They will also be purchasable through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kindle and Nook.
Teeth, fangs and claws, rent flesh, and howls in the night send fear as the creatures that were once men bring terror and death to those they encounter. Werewolves, vicious demons of the night, hunt for prey as their hell curse drives them to a destiny undreamed by them as men.
