Saving the Planet... One Ebook at at time!
Working with Amazon to bring new Authors to Print
Well into our second decade our philosophy of providing written entertainment and safe reading, we publish thrillers and works of Non Fiction that our readers can enjoy.
We have great writers on the books and as a result we have sold over 2 miliion copies of books by J Jackson Bentley alone!
Today we are rebranding with a simpler logo for FidusPress.com and we are incorporating two new imprints; Buckshaw Books and Lykus Books.
The new branding will allow us to represent ourselves with a single letter
should we need to do so.
