Hello world!
40 Below Ink is an Alaska publishing company specializing in books written by Alaskan writers. While this blog will include books published by 40 Below Ink, I will also be writing about other wonderful books, regardless of the publisher or locale, as well as providing mini workshops on writing and getting published.
Our first book, which is coming out this November, 2009, is Alaska Virgin Air, a comedic mystery set in Fairbanks, Alaska, and written by Izzy Ballard. (www.IzzyBallard.com)
Here are some reviews of Alaska Virgin Air:
“In her debut novel, Izzy Ballard has created a heroine who not only is clairvoyant but sassy, sexy and warmhearted – the kind of best friend we all wish we could have. Alaska Virgin Air is a comic romp through a northern landscape rich with quirky characters, the adventurous culture of Bush flying, and romantic intrigue. Snappy dialogue, strong characters, and plot surprises make this a compelling read for those who like their mysteries served with humor.”
Sherry Simpson, author of The Accidental Explorer… Read More
“Share intrigue, adventure and romance on the last frontier with an engaging set of quirky characters that include our Alaska born, independent-minded heroine, Abigail Vertuccio, her man-magnet mother, her airline-owning-rock-music-roadie grandmother, revenge-seeking British royalty, their spoiled man-child and enough handsome-charming-save-the-day bush pilots that add the icing on this easy to devour book. Alaska Virgin Air is a comic mystery told with wit and assurance . . . that keeps you engaged to the very end.”
Pat Walsh, co-author of Catch and Release
“. . .the Alaska setting and snappy dialogue will appeal to readers of cozies.”
Library Journal, October, 2009
“I recommend Alaska Virgin Air to anyone who is fascinated by Alaska and who enjoys Janet Evanovich.”
Juanita Helms, former Mayor, Fairbanks, Alaska
“Alaska Virgin Air is a fun-filled ride of humor, intrigue and romance. Readers will enjoy following its clairvoyant heroine, Abigail Vertuccio, as she tries to save the family air taxi business while navigating her way through mysteries that surround her family and friends in the Last Frontier.”
Laurel Bill, author of the Aunt Phil’s Trunk Alaska history series
