The danger of reading lies not in its ability to enliven or sedate the reader, but in its ability to change them. The more someone seeks to know, the more dangerous that person appears to those in authority, because knowledge is power, often in more ways than one. This is why we chose this name, logo and statement to represent our core beliefs. We hope you feel the same, and proudly wear our shirt.

New from our New England Writers...

THIS IS NOT OUR FUTURE. Welcome to The Dystopian States of America: a Charity Anthology Benefiting the ACLU Foundation, written by many talented authors from around New England (many whose books we already have in-store). This anthology features dystopian views of the future, for America and/or the entire world, should the current regime remain in power. And we use the word “regime” very pointedly because while the executive branch of our government certainly made for a ripe target, our authors were free to draw inspiration from the legislative branch, the judicial branch, local governments, or outside influencers (i.e lobbies, corporations, donors, propagandists, etc.) as well.
All proceeds the publisher/authors receives from the sale of this book will be donated to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Foundation. A Freethinker's Corner will be donating 15% of our profit from each sale to the ACLU. Click the picture to purchase. |

Michael C Ward is a retired computer geek engaged in his second career as a social commentator, writer, and performer. He is currently working on "Sketches of Lee", a four volume collection. Michael's father, Harold Ward, at age 94, was in declining health. With only weeks to live he made a request: “Michael, I want you to write the stories of our existence. I want my great grandchildren to know from whence they came.”These stories, if not captured, would simply disappear from their family’s history. The first two stories were written before Harold’s death on June 9th, 2015.
