Hey there! Thanks for stopping in!

You have just found the new home for Quake Publishing. Just a little background on us. For those of you who don’t know, Quake is the Juvenile and Young Adult line for Echelon Press LLC. Echelon has been offering readers great books and short stories since February 2001. Quake came along in 2006 when I decided that young readers needs some fun put back in their book stacks. I love kids and I love reading, so it seemed like a good fit. Quake is all about fun and as you get to know me, you will find out that I am more than is legal in most states.

Anyways, enough about the serious stuff.

If you are used to seeing things over at the Teen Seen Blog, this must be quite a change. At Quake we feature books, short stories and soon non-fiction that is specifically created for people aged 10 – 20. Does that mean noone else can enjoy it? Heck no! We want everybody to enjoy Quake, but don’t be surprised if our materials are little more fun than your typical adult literary fiction.

What are you going to see over here at Quake? Well, we have big things planned for you at this site. Here are just a few

• Author Spotlight: This is so you can get to know our authors better.
• Excerpts: Everybody wants to get a sneak peak at what they are buying, so we’re going to start giving you what you want.
• Writing Contests: Is there anyone who doesn’t want to be a writer? Well, we are going to do some writing contests for the younger generations to show off their talents and maybe even get some work published.
• Reader Contests: I love getting FREE books, so every once in a while we might just give some away here at Quake. You never know.
• Special Guests: If we can meet or know famous authors or celebrities, we want you to get to know them too.
• Book Reviews: We don’t want you to just take our word that our books and stories are great. We’ll give you reviews from other readers and then you’ll know we aren’t full of hot air!

I think that should be enough to get you interested. So I’ll get back to setting this site up and you can start to get to know us better. Don’t forget to check back often and post when you do. We want to know that you are here and what you think.

Happy Reading!
