Brief Author Bio: I've been involved in various parts of the publishing industry for thirty years, sometimes in periodicals, in technology, and most recently with a new publishing house. (http://www.longtalepress.com) I majored in theatrical design in my undergrad and graduate work and then switched my career to writing and publishing. In the past five years, I've blogged six novels. Links to all of them are in my profile at http://tinyurl.com/yabcvno. My newest ventures in publishing provide self-publishers with on-line publishing of their memoirs, noevls, and stories. |

Synopsis:
Few people know that just months before the Gutenberg Bible was finished, Gutenberg was sued by his financial partner for diverting funds to a secret project that Gutenberg would not share. The courts awarded the entire Bible printing business to Johan Fust, leaving Gutenberg with nothing but his secret.
When print historians Keith Drucker and Madeline Zayne blunder into a centuries-old power struggle, their lives and even the course of history hinge on whether they recover and preserve—or destroy forever—the volatile secrets concealed in Gutenberg’s Other Book.
Gutenberg’s Other Book is an intellectual thriller, casting two librarians as unlikely heroes caught between opposing forces: the descendants of the Library of Alexandria's elite guard and those who would stop at nothing to ensure that the library’s first book never comes to light.
