RoseTintedSpecs Imprint

Launch

RoseTintedSpecs Imprint commenced business at Christmas 2009 with the publication of a book of photographs entitled Seaside Frolics: Whitstable, Tankerton & Herne Bay. The launch took place at Harbour Books at the pretty harbour town of Whitstable in South-East England. The book is on offer there at £19.95 in paperback (cover price £25) and here, from the publisher, at £22 post paid.

Harbour Books is the town's main bookshop and is pleased to be featuring a volume of photographs by David Rose. He lived in Tankerton-on-Sea next to Whitstable between 1999 and 2006.

"David's pictures are great," said Liz, the bookshop manageress. "We shall feature it in our window and we have no doubt it will be an all-year seller. Local pictures are popular and we don't have enough in book form."  SEASIDE FROLICS Details Here

The Imprint's second title published last month is a thriller, also by David Rose. Entitled Triad this paperback is now available at £10 with post and packaging paid as a New Year offer. Triad is a thriller and love story. The background is one of sex-slavery, rogue CIA activity, martial arts and triad business from Brussels to Hong Kong.

"It's a good read I am told!" David says. "It was untouched for years but last Autumn several authors praised it when I put it on-line with a writer's forum. This gave me the incentive to put the finishing touches to it, publish and start the sequel. It also meant I had to shape up RoseTintedSpecs Imprint. This had existed in name since 2002." TRIAD Details Here

Third Title

A companion volume of photographs to Seaside Frolics is in preparation. Also by David Rose, the pictures were taken from as far away as China between 1982 and 2009.

"I have put some of my favourite quirky pictures into this book," David said. "Subjects range from a Buddhist monk on Whitstable's East Quay eating chips, to a child being fed noodles with chopsticks in Guangdong Province. There are several Whitstable photographs that did not have a seaside theme and were not included in Seaside Frolics. People who know the town may recognise M&Co on the cover [right] before the store opened. I'm working hard on the book in advance of a news item about our publishing in the Whitstable Times in March."

We're hoping Harbour Books will be carrying Caught on Camera! Two titles in their window would be excellent news!" CAUGHT ON CAMERA! Details Here
