Old Mountain Press Anthologies online now

 Tom Davis, owner and publisher of Old Mountain Press, has put his anthologies, filled with so many poets and writers from the mountains, on Kindle now. 

So for a couple of dollars or less, you can read work by former NC Poet Laureate Shelby Stephenson, novelist Celia Miles, writer and editor, Nancy Dillingham, Glenda Beall, Brenda Kay Ledford, Mary Ricketson, and many more.

Find the books here. You can see a sample of each book on Amazon.com.

The next anthology he publishes will be The Unforgettables, A Poetry and Prose Anthology.

The Unforgettables A Poetry and Prose Anthology Estimated: 50 to 90 pages perfect bound 1--31March 2021. Old Mountain Press   will publish a collection of poetry/short stories by a number of writers.  Our goal is to gather enough quality poems and short shorts for an estimated 50 to 90 page book with the theme:  The theme is anything about (primarily) an unforgettable or unusual person you have known OR an unforgettable character you have created in your writing. Would like to have as many poets involved as possible.  Requirements are below. Authors receive publishing credit and retain all rights to their work but agree to the inclusion of their poems in this collection of poetry. The author must have rights to the poem (previously published OK).  A poem may not exceed 36 lines -  short short may not exceed 325 words (this includes title, spaces, and author's name).  Poetry lines that exceed 45 letters and spaces will wrap and count as two lines. Must be a former contributor or recommended by a former contributor to submit. Only one poem/short short per writer, so give it your best shot:-)

Tom Davis is also an author and has several books published. His wife, Polly, has written a memoir about living with Tom while he was in the military. It is filled with humor but gives a good look at what the wife of a military man endures while he is gone away and when he is at home again.   http://www.oldmp.com/davismemoirs/Polly/

Available to Order: Tom Davis' Memoir, The Most Fun I Ever Had With My Clothes On: A March from Private to Colonel.   http://www.oldmp.com/davismemoirs

You won't meet more hospitable and friendly people than Tom and Polly. Tom was helpful and patient with Estelle Rice and me as he helped us with publishing Paws, Claws, Hooves, Feathers and Fins. 

Many writers are using Old Mountain Press for the books they want to self-publish. Tom holds your hand as you make the decisions about what your book should look like, the paper it should be printed on, your cover, etc.  When I thought I was ready to give up on setting up the format for the photographs in our book, Tom calmed me down and helped me work things out. 

I sent in a poem tonight for the next anthology. Since I am cutting back on buying books because I am running out of room for them in my house, I will order the Kindle version of some of my favorite anthologies.
