JournalStone Publishing Announces New “Double Down” Book Series

JournalStone Publishing President, Christopher C. Payne is pleased to announce an exciting new, ongoing series of titles JournalStone Publishing will be releasing, premiering in 2013 under the “Double Down” series moniker.

The Double Down Series of books will pair an acclaimed author with a gifted, fresh, cutting-edge author selected by the eminent author. Each book will contain an original novella by the eminent author matched with an original novel by the up-and-coming author. In the spirit of the old Ace Doubles, the series will be bound in the dos-à-dos binding method, whereby two books are bound together with a shared central board and facing in opposite directions, with each book having its own full front cover.

JournalStone has already contracted for the initial six books in the series with the following pairings: Gene O’Neal and Chris Mars, Gord Rollo and Rene Mason, Lisa Morton and Eric Guignard, Joe McKinney and Sanford Allen, Harry Shannon and Brett Talley, and Jonathan Maberry and (to be determined). Additional pairings are expected for the ongoing series and will be announced periodically.
