The year is 1994. From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction! Traditional Publishing is cast in ruin. Small publishing houses are reborn! A strange new world rises from the old. A world of savagery, super-science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for pulp! With his companions, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous pen against the forces of evil. He is LawDog the Barbarian!
Camden Park Press is the second of our highlighted NextGen Publishers that I haven't met yet, but Jonna Hayden and Mike Burke speak highly of her. (She’s funny and delightful in person—Jonna)
I don't know a whole lot about Lyn Worthen, the publisher over at Camden Park Press, but I'm told that she's a one-woman operation, and for that she has my complete respect. Her track record and communication with her authors is a wonder to behold, and our gang learned a lot from her at Writer’s Cantina.
Camden Park does—to my absolute delight—quirky and fun anthologies, found on the webpage above. LOTS of them!
She also does series, including Hit Lady For Hire, and The Bloodline Chronicles.
Their Facebook is here, but being a singleton her social media presence is a little sparse, however completely worth the visit.
She’s also just become a Grandma, so congratulations are in order.
Tell five reading friends about Camden Park Press, pop over to her Facebook page and say, "Hi!", then take a look at their backlist.
Thanks,
Ian
Some Rising Tide* suggestions, as the week is wrapping up (i.e. no need to do anything about them)

Upstream Reviews ( Full disclosure: I buy loads of the books they review. Often before said review occurs)
And our comic-y frens. There are few and far between hangouts and supports for anyone who comes out of the closet.
So you can find my work and that of some of my frens (Paperdoll Veronica) at Arktoons.
But do share the middleman love. The establishment librarians and reviewers who support indie are risking their careers to support you. Move that Overerton window MOAR 🥰
