Welcome to Centaur Books! As my own journey to becoming a published author unfolded, I learned many things and hope to be able to share information and encouragement with you to help you realize your dream of becoming a published author as well!

A few years ago when I was taking a creative writing course, I was encouraged by my professor to seek out a publisher to publish a memoir that I had written.

After contacting John Paul Owles, the Publisher at Joshua Tree Publishing, that dream became a reality. Since then, he has published three more books that I wrote in the fiction genre.

Centaur Books is a viable source to help you become a published fiction writer! Please explore our website and submit your request for a consultation.
