Rising Tide Week: Cannon Publishing
Grab an oar with LawDog!
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!
Okay, reach into the hat—today's highlighted NextGen Publisher is Cannon Publishing!
Another press started by veterans (seeing a trend here?), Cannon is headed up by J.F. Holmes—his first name is actually "John,” but for obvious reasons, he tends to go by "J.F." (Kids, ask your parents.) He’s a friend and a good man, with good people working with him.
Cannon Publishing runs the gamut from Zombie Apocalypse to Urban Fantasy to Military Sci-Fi, and other stuff.
Of course, Cannon offers audiobooks.
Cannon also runs the annual High Caliber Award for New Writers—well worth taking a look at if you're a new or aspiring writer.
Cannon Publishing's Facebook page is here.
Tell some friends about Cannon Publishing, pop over to their Facebook page and say, "Hi!” then go peruse their backlist. Pretty sure you'll find something worth reading there.

Cannon seems like a super cool small press. Whoever is doing their covers needs to be careful, the cover in this post probably used AI (oh nooooo), which is fine, but the resulting image generated a protagonist who looks like Eddie Redmayne as Newt Skamander, which could attract IP infringement attention. Or I could be paranoid.
Cannon folks have multiple shared worlds for authors to play in. Fun stuff.
