Founded in 2019, Nine Sisters Press has also published three titles from J. Carroll Clark’s contemporary series Where Men and Women Live. The series spans fifty years of American life as experienced by three circles of Californians whose lives become more entwined with time. The work unfolds in a manner unlike any other saga, memoir, personal account, roman-fleuve, or series of novels.
It is the summer of 1975, and a newly-minted high school graduate is still unable to decide which college to attend. He feels so out of step with the rest of his class that he makes up his own graduation ceremony rather than don a cap and gown to attend Westchester High’s dull ritual.
Resolving only on a summer aimlessness, he soon becomes enthralled by a circle of artists and surfers, and forestalls his decision as long as he can. Finally, he meets Julia Valentine, a mysterious and enchanting woman who serves as a kind of doyenne to the circle he has befriended. Can she or his new friends help him decide on college – or anything?
Set in LA and Orange County (especially San Clemente and Dana Point) in the summer of 1975, Julia Valentine is $13.95, including shipping and handling.
Every Shepherd Tells His Tale, set in the New York and LA and all along the California coast of the late 1970s, is $17.95, including shipping and handling.
The Fugitive Trail Angel debuted May 19, 2023. Its price is $16.95 including shipping and handling.
Nine Sisters Press takes its name from the Nine Sisters chain of volcanic necks that stretch from Morro Bay to San Luis Obispo. Our colophon is a “9” with a landscape abstraction of a view of Morro Rock, the best known of the Nine Sisters.
