Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

Libros Libertad

The British Columbia newspaper Peace Arch News has a report about the success of Libros Libertad, the publisher of Poodie James.

With five books released so far – and as many on the way by year’s end, the imprint is rapidly gaining stature and credibility with its up-market style paperbacks.
Poodie James, a novel by veteran U.S. broadcaster Doug Ramsey has already become a break-out hit, selling out its first printing. The Passage of Sono Nis is a definitive collection of works by internationally respected author J. Michael Yates – who is also senior editor for the company. And well-known jazz writer/lyricist Gene Lees (“Yesterday I Heard The Rain,” “Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars”) is readying a novel, Song Lake Summer, for release by Libros Libertad.
