FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash. - s4story -- Founded in 2011, Down & Out Books started their publishing house by concentrating on literary and crime fiction. With Eric Campbell, the founder and executive director, and Lance Wright, the associate editor and marketing guru, Down & Out Books is a publishing force to be reckoned with. They are headquartered in Florida.

Asked what this publishing deal means, Susan Wingate said, "These guys are top-notch. Eric and Lance focus on creating bestsellers and award-winners. I couldn't be happier."

With a release date out to late 2022, the author and publisher intend on casting a wide marketing net via regional and national exposure with an emphasis on virtual chats, readings, conferences, and other venues.
