CHARLES D. ELLISON'S DEBUT FICTION THRILLER RECEIVING PRAISE FROM CRITICS
(Philadelphia, PA) - Reverse Grain Publishing (tm), an independent literary
venture based in Philadelphia, today announced the release of TANTRUM, a
gripping modern thriller surrounding the dramatic rise and fall of an
ambitious city politician. Marking acclaimed author Charles D. Ellison's
first work of fiction, TANTRUM is an edgy work of captious fiction and
gritty detail freshly dipped in politics and personal struggle.
"TANTRUM intrigues the reader with fast-moving wit," says D.L Chandler of
Loosie.com. "Classic Ellisonian shotgun blast," raves The Spleen. TANTRUM
chronicles the urban score of a young, troubled and nameless city
Councilman, his unorthodox political style making him the wary target of
nefarious and hidden pursuers. Suddenly, TANTRUM is transformed into a
furious mix of characters and scandalous plot twists.
"Advance praise of TANTRUM is testament to its bestseller potential," said
Allure' Delamater, Chief Executive Officer for Reverse Grain Publishing
(tm). "We are quite honored and pleased to launch this novel as our very
first. Mr. Ellison represents our mission to introduce a new wave of
authors, and a world where our imaginations and intellect can run loose.
With the development of new technologies and alternative distribution
channels, we plan to make our titles widely available to the reading
public."
