Welcome to Calico Tales Publishing
Every great story begins with a single step across a threshold. It’s the turn of a page, the click of a link, the decision to leave the well-lit path and venture into the shadows where truth, danger, and breathtaking beauty lie in wait.
Today, we invite you to take that step with us.
Welcome to the official online home of Calico Tales Publishing LLC. We are thrilled to open our digital doors and share with you a world built from ink, magic, and the undeniable power of storytelling.
Our Pact with You, the Reader
We believe that the best tales are the ones that linger long after the final page is read. They are the stories that get under your skin, that haunt your dreams, and that hold up a mirror to the most hidden corners of the human heart.
Our mission is to curate and publish stories that do exactly that. We are drawn to the shadows, to the defiant, to the beautifully broken. We seek out narratives with the sharp edge of truth and characters who feel so achingly real you’ll swear you’ve met them before. From the mist-shrouded secrets of ancient academies to the searing neon glare of a city that devours souls, our books are journeys into the heart of what it means to be human—in all its messy, terrifying, and magnificent glory.
Our First Chapter: A Glimpse into the Tales
As we launch, we are proud to present our inaugural collection of upcoming stories. Each one is a doorway into a different world, a unique pact between author and reader.
First up:
Saltmare: On a jagged, storm-battered coastline, a grieving sculptor unearths a sentient black clay that gives monstrous, accusing form to her deepest sorrows. It’s a chilling tale of grief, guilt, and a horror that demands to be seen.
The following weeks after:
The Reckoning at Arcanum Hall: Step into a colossal cathedral of secrets where a new scholarship student, Lysandra Vale, must uncover a buried history to challenge a corrupt Council. It’s a battle for the soul of the ancient magical academy itself.
Beneath the Skin of Want: Immerse yourself in the decadent, dangerous mirage of Las Vegas. Here, a brilliant artist and a powerful casino magnate, both masters of illusion, are drawn into a high-stakes game of passion and survival that threatens to shatter their carefully constructed worlds.
The Story is Just Beginning
This website is more than just a place to find your next great read. It is a threshold.
In the coming weeks and months, this space will evolve. We’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses into our creative process, spotlighting our brilliant authors, and, of course, unveiling the new and exciting tales that are already whispering to be told.
This is your invitation to join our community. To be a part of the story.
