So this great new publishing house has recently opened. Valor Publishing has some strong values and criteria. For those authors looking for a conservative, author-friendly, family oriented publisher Valor is the place to go. They have fantastic ideas about how an author should be helped and trained to self promote and also to work with the marketing team at the publishing house. Here is the press release about their debut book. I can't wait to read this one and I am not a particular fan of the genre. However, having heard AG Mark Shurtleff speak, I know that this book will be powerful.
Utah State Attorney General Mark Shurtleff’s ground-breaking new novel, “Am I Not A Man: The Dred Scott Story” is now available for preorder at a reduced price.
An illiterate slave, Dred Scott trusted in an all-white, slave-owning jury to declare him free. But after briefly experiencing the glory of freedom and manhood, a new state Supreme Court ordered the cold steel of the shackles to be closed again around his wrists and ankles. Falling to his knees, Dred cried, "Ain't I a man?" Dred answered his own question by rising and taking his fight to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Dred ultimately lost his epic battle when the Chief Justice declared that a black man was so inferior that he had "no rights a white man was bound to respect."
Dred died not knowing that his undying courage led directly to the election of President Abraham Lincoln and the emancipation proclamation.
Dred Scott's inspiring and compelling true story of adventure, courage, love, hatred, and friendship parallels the history of this nation from the long night of slavery to the narrow crack in the door that would ultimately lead to freedom and equality for all men.
