LOS ANGELES, March 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- According to blogger Sarah Johnson, an expert on historical fiction, the 20th century as a whole is still very popular up to and including the early 1970s, if we use 50 years in the past as a guideline for defining what's historical fiction. The novel Afterdamp is set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the coal-mining communities of central Utah. The author, R. Craig Johnson, felt passionately that the miners' way of life and the mining conditions needed to be told, allowing the reader to be guided daily, as the miners were, to the portals of the deep and dark. A. Keith Carreiro's fictional verse Send Down the Master in Person is a reflection on Adolf Eichmann and the Holocaust. A Readers' Favorite review observes that the author "has a talent for blending history with poetry, which makes for an irresistible read. The words reach deep to pull out painful imagery, then take you to lofty heights that reflect both hope and tragedy."
LibraryBub, an industry first, was established in 2015. Dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers. Newbery laureate Pam Muñoz Ryan recalls a childhood attachment to her local library. "The library became my favorite hangout because my family didn't have a swimming pool and the library was air-conditioned. That's how I got hooked on reading" As an adult, a friend encouraged her to write. "Today, I am a full-time writer and I still spend a lot of time at the library. When I start a new book the first thing I do is go to the library for research." Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people's lives, and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.
