Leucrota Press is an independent publisher of high quality science fiction, fantasy, and horror novels. They are located in southern California. According to Medieval Bestiaries, the Leucrota is the swiftest of wild animals. It is a composite animal with the head of a badger, the chest and front legs of a lion, the hindquarters and cloven hooves of a stag, and a mouth that stretches from ear to ear lined with a single row of bone. So why a Leucrota? Well, because it’s different, just like them. They’re proud of their uniqueness, running ahead of the pack by testing limits and working with authors on a personal level that seems to be missing lately in the publishing industry. While they are a smaller house in size, they are by no means lacking in any division with dedicated marketing and sales staff, as well as experienced editors and graphic designers ready to work day or night to make the chosen books the success stories they all deserve to be. And unlike many of the larger houses that use form rejection letters giving no insight or indication as to why the book was declined, they promise to provide personalized feedback on why they felt your book wasn’t ready, many times even editing or commenting on the first few pages of your submission packets to give a little nudge in the right direction. Leucrota Press is a member of Green Press Initiative, which means they meet GPI’s environmental criteria and support their efforts to reduce the social and environmental impacts of book publishing.

Dark Fantasy Novel Malagon Rising Hits Bookshelves This October

Southern California-based publisher Luecrota Press announced today that upcoming dark fantasy novel, Malagon Rising by G. Winston Hyatt, will hit bookstore shelves on October 20, 2010.

Malagon Rising tells the story of the Solaran Empire as it rots from within. Imperial Prince Prince Corvun survives an assassination attempt by invoking the spirit of Malagon, an ancient dragon-god. Malagon’s corrupted magic saves Corvun’s life but costs him his throne. Now an outlaw reviled by the empire he was born to rule, he alone dares to battle an expanding theocracy led by the vicious Veiled Hierophant. Will a fallen prince’s wrath become mankind’s salvation or foreshadow its ultimate doom?

G. Winston Hyatt, a former staff writer for a production company, currently writes and teaches in Chicago. His fiction has appeared in Night Terrors: A Horror Anthology, Necrotic Tissue, Thuglit.com, and many other publications. This is his first novel.
