We turn the page. Now begin our foray into being an actual by-gosh publisher!

We’re the same people who have been bringing you SCIFI.radio since 2009, and in that time we have grown from a tiny experiment begun in an MMO, and for a time became the biggest and most popular science fiction and fantasy radio station, before taking the crown and becoming the only one in the world.

And now we find ourselves as actual publishers of the science fiction and fantasy genres we love so well.

Now things are snowballing again, and we were approached by a few writers wondering why we hadn’t formed our own publishing company by now, and when we did, could they please join us?

So here we are. We’re calling it “Helium Beach”.

We begin by publishing short stories, eventually to be compiling them into our first anthology. We’ll also be publishing full novels, and, the Universe willing, tabletop games and game modules as well.

We began by publishing a few short stories on the web, as a sort of adjunct of the services provided to our Patreon supporters.  Now, we are studying up on what it takes to publish actual, physical books.

We know there are a ton of small press publishers out there. We don’t see ourselves as competing with them.  Rather, there is room enough in this new upside down world of publishing for all of us, and there are stories we want to tell, and writers we wish to promote.

Our first release will be a book entitled Juniper Fairchild and the Alterwhere, by Gene Turnbow, who is the editor here (we know, we get it — but one must start somewhere). 

Stay with us. The best is yet to come.
