History

Crossroad Press was formed in 2009 as Macabre Ink Digital. The original intent was simply to bring my own out of print books to Kindle and other eReaders, and to try and get a few of them done as audiobooks. My background, besides being an author, is in IT. I'm IT Manager for a very successful company, and have extensive background in web development, networking, and computers. All of this made learning the basic tools of the trade a short and simple task.

When I started getting my titles digitized, a few friends noticed what I was doing. EBooks had just begun to take off. Everyone was afraid of being left behind. Some publishers were moving into eBooks, but seemed bent on making as much money as they could while, as usual, excluding the authors. Those friends asked if I'd help them with their books. They offered to pay me. I declined. Instead, I asked for a small percentage.

That is the backbone of Crossroad Press. We are now a growing, widely distributed digital publishing company. Our books are on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Apple, Diesel, Kobo, and Smashwords. We are also distributed to libraries through EBSCO (once Net Library) and Overdrive.com, as well as through direct sales to several library consortiums. We are on the verge of a major deal with libraries in North Carolina. We have published over 650 titles, and expect growth to continue exponentially. We are approached by new agents, publishers, and authors almost daily.
