Words, voices & music
Your text, selected or full narration, character voices, author commentary, music, and atmospheric sound.
Books, curiosities, and creative services, gathered in one place and open to anyone who wanders in.
In the stories, Roxie Maxx keeps an office at the Whiskey Pines Journal, and between chasing down whoever left a body in the crafting loft, she runs a quiet little publishing business out of it. Book design, interior layout, cover work, the whole back-room craft of turning a manuscript into something a reader wants to hold.
That part isn't fiction. The publishing services listed here are real, offered by the woman behind Roxie Maxx, with decades of book production behind them. Hire her for a hardcover, a special edition, or an mBoox multimedia conversion, and you're hiring an actual designer, not a character. The Whiskey Pines Journal offices just make a nicer letterhead than a home office in Michigan.
Everything else in the Emporium is the fun stuff: ebooks and short reads, small curiosities, and, before long, a few games and apps to poke at. New shelves get stocked as things are finished, so it's worth wandering back through now and then.
No account needed, nothing to sign up for. Open a drawer, have a look around, and take home whatever catches your eye.

A good story deserves a lovely home. An mBoox brings your words together with carefully chosen images, sound, movement, and interactive touches—all designed to suit your book. Think of it as a special edition with a few more doors for your reader to open.
Your text, selected or full narration, character voices, author commentary, music, and atmospheric sound.
Illustrations, photographs, maps, archival letters, galleries, video, and animated details that enrich the story.
Clickable discoveries, pop-up notes, puzzles, quizzes, timelines, recipes, and useful tools chosen for your subject.
A novel might invite readers into its story world. A family history can preserve a familiar voice. A business edition can include demonstrations and a product catalog. Every mBoox is individually planned and crafted; this sample shows one possibility, not everything the format can contain.
Open the cover, turn the pages, and try the reading controls. This is a sample edition. For more room—especially on a phone—open it in a full window.
A custom edition can be presented on your website or prepared for digital delivery. Tell me about your project below, and we can work out which features belong in your book.
No pressure and no obligation. I read every inquiry personally and will reply with the best practical next step for your project.
