Thalia, goddess of comedyWhat we believe: 
  • Quality of writing always matters.
  • All good fiction begins with strong plotting and strong characterizations.
  • Crime fiction lets people safely explore the very best and the very worst of the human condition.
  • Humor is a great way to let readers tackle painful topics like life and death without being overwhelmed by emotion.
  • Not all books need to appeal to the masses.
Thalia was the goddess of comedy.
She was said to have entertained the
other gods with her wit
and charm.
