ECS Publishing

Harrison Rose Tate and her novel Elsewhere is a Place in Central Park have been selected to be part of the Artisan Fair at the 62nd Annual Danish Festival in Greenville, Michigan.

Because the novel is set in Denmark, this invitation feels especially meaningful. There's something fitting about introducing the story to readers as part of one of America's largest and longest-running celebrations of Danish heritage 🇩🇰

Whether you're a longtime supporter or discovering the novel for the first time, we're grateful to see this critically-acclaimed book, based on a true story, continue finding its way into new communities. If you're in the area, don't miss it! Harrison Rose Tate will be there in person, greeting readers and signing copies.

Not only can you stop by the Hellenic Museum of Michigan in Detroit, take in all the incredible exhibits, and talk to their friendly and knowledgeable staff... now, you can get a copy of The Circle of Kourabies there too! It just doesn't get any better 😊

Opa!

Hellenic Museum of Michigan

Ready for an epic YASOU?!? Don't miss the Irvine Greek Fest next weekend! The Circle of Kourabies will have a table in the plaka (marketplace) there, celebrating Greek heritage alongside delicious & authentic food vendors, and a live band. This event is always quite a party! 🎉🎉🎉

🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

Hope to see you there!

Hope everyone is having a beautiful weekend! For all of you readers, here is a novel I'd like to share today:

The scene is nighttime in San Miguel de Allende. Día de los Mu***os.

Santiago is moving through the packed square when someone spills a drink all over him. He looks up, irritated, and finds himself staring into the eyes of a pale British man standing in the middle of the crowd, horrified and speechless.

Neither knows it yet, but the moment will alter both of their lives.
This image was inspired by that scene from The Tour Guide, my novel based on a true story.

It feels alive: music, mariachi bands, mojigangas weaving through the crowd, candlelight, summer heat, and that ethereal feeling when a single moment suddenly separates itself from all the others around it.

The Tour Guide
By Harrison Rose Tate

The book is available to check out at your local library. If you don't see it on the shelf at your location, you can request it for free and they'll get it for you.

Or you can pick up a copy pretty much anywhere online that books are sold.

Elsewhere is a Place in Central Park by Harrison Rose Tate is a literal work of art. Midwest Book Review called it “Original, exceptional, and a fascinating read from cover to cover… an impressive level of literary excellence.”

They, and we, highly recommend this novel.

I know its owner is very polarizing, and I'm certainly not endorsing the platform, but it is still relevant. So, if you are a formerly-Twitter user, we'd appreciate the follow and support. Thank you!

Heavy Metal is a Sin (this is a novel, it's not about metal music or sins - lol) - check it out!

A little bit about ECS Publishing, and what makes us different.

The owner of ECS Publishing has spent his career as a consultant, and his business has done well. He says he won't be "quitting my day job" anytime soon 😅

However, he has always had a love for literature. So, at the same time, he started a little hobby business, and called it ECS Publishing.

ECS is selective. When we first read the manuscripts of the writers in our publishing family, we believed they had incredible potential as authors. It turned out to be true. It is incredibly rare to land an overwhelmingly positive Publishers Weekly, BookLife or Kirkus review. Their reviewers are notorious for being brutally objective. Yet our writers got glowing reviews in every case. That, not big profits, is what "success" means to us.

Although we do love book sales, if purchasing a copy is not in your budget, we're just as happy if you head down to your local library and check out a copy. If you don't find it on the shelf, you can put in a request for any of our titles.

Thanks for your support 🎉
