The company

started in 1979 like many small presses did at that time;

a single person, an idea, little or no money and far away

from the publishing capital of New York.

Founder

Carole Marsh didn't care about any of that. She only

cared about writing a single children's mystery book,

getting it into print and doing all the marketing and

sales herself.

This

philosophy has slowly evolved into a company that has

more than 10,000 books and software titles in print and

is sold internationally.

"The

database of published material we own allows us to mix

and match, add to, update and otherwise enhance and

transform quality writing into a variety of products that

are always timely, because they are not printed and bound

until an order for them is received," said Marsh.

One of the

company's specialities is books about the 50 states. The

company publishes a trivia-based book for each state,

along with other educational titles for the states,

Canada and a number of other countries.

Some of the

company's bestselling titles are: The Mystery of the

Biltmore House, Alabama Jeopardy and The Virginia

Experience.

Despite

their recent success, the company maintains it's ready

for the next century and is actually "just warming

up.
