Publishing great books by talented writers and forging connections with readers for the long-term.
About us
Publishing great books by talented writers and forging connections with readers for the long-term. In 1987, in a small garage in Southern Oregon, Blackstone was born. Founded by Craig and Michelle Black, the early days consisted of a small handful of family members and employees working out of their home, building the business one cassette tape at a time. With a fresh perspective on the reading experience, Craig and Michelle, along with their trusted team, found new and innovative methods to not only produce and distribute audiobooks, but also pioneered creative ways to collaborate with publishers, booksellers, and the audiobook listening community. 2017 marked Blackstone’s 30th anniversary, and the company continues to grow, innovate, and further the ascendancy of the overall audiobook business. To date, we've produced over 12,000 audiobooks, releasing 100+ new titles each month. Our new print publishing venture is built upon this foundation. Our goal is to publish groundbreaking books (fiction and nonfiction) by talented writers, and to forge long- term connections with readers, booksellers, librarians, and the overall publishing community. We’re thrilled to be working with bestselling authors like P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast, Shelley Shepard Gray, Cory Doctorow and more to publish print books, e-books, and audiobooks, furthering our commitment to bringing quality, entertaining stories to as many people as possible, in the most creative and innovative ways imaginable.

⚔️Arrrg you ready for a classic swashbuckling adventure from Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Robert Silverberg?🏴☠️ Praised as 'the John Updike of science fiction' by The New York Times Book Review, we proudly present the #BlackstoneShowcase for Silverberg’s December 10th, 2024 release LORD OF DARKNESS, narrated by Alex Wyndham! Captured by pirates and brought to the west coast of Africa, young British seaman Andrew Battell longs for his home in seventeenth-century England. His only hope of returning is to work hard and be awarded freedom by his Portuguese captors—a freedom he is consistently denied. As he is moved farther and farther inland, away from the coast and any hope of a boat back to England, Battell’s dreams of freedom begin to dwindle. Finally, taking matters into his own hands, he escapes and takes sanctuary among the Jaqqas, a tribe of cannibalistic warriors lead by the sinister Lord of Darkness … Battell recounts his own story in a vivid novel of furious force, singular passion, and intimate detail. . . . 📕Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g22uKbGu? . . #robertsilverberg #lordofdarkness #lordofdarknessbook #hugoaward #nebulaaward #CoverReveal #blackstoneaudio #blackstonepublishing #blackstonebooks #coverartwork #bookcoverdesigner #bookcoverdesign #2024books #2024tbr #alexwyndham #SciFiFantasy #fantasyepic #fantasybooks

We're over the moon for this #pubday announcement!🌛🛸🤩👨🏽🚀 The astronomical sci-fi spy thriller DARK SPACE by bestselling authors Rob Hart and Alex Segura is available now in multiple formats (including audio narrated by Timothy Andrés Pabon and Nicol Zanzarella)!🌛🛸🤩👨🏽🚀 ____________ 💌FROM Rob Hart... Dear Readers, Writing a book can be incredibly hard, and I can say, without reservation, this is the most fun I've ever had... because I got to write it with a friend. It was a blast working with Alex on this, and I'm thrilled with how it came out. The best part is watching people try to figure out who wrote which part (and the truth is, sometimes I can't even tell...) DARK SPACE is a pulpy sci-fi adventure that is, at its heart, hopeful about the future. I hope you dig it. Thanks, —Rob Hart ___________ 💌FROM Alex Segura... Dear Readers, I’ve always loved space operas and sci-fi, whether it’s the sweeping and epic mythology of Star Wars or the exploratory wonder of Star Trek or the gritty high-drama of Battlestar Galactica. As a kid mainlining sci-fi authors like Asimov, Bradbury, and le Guin, I always made room for serialized and complex universes like those - and in my heart of hearts, imagined maybe creating one of my own. That’s what we have with DARK SPACE, which I was honored to write with my friend Rob Hart. It’s a sweeping story about corrupt leaders, bloodthirsty global powers, the wonder of space travel, and the price we can sometimes pay for overreaching - but it’s also a very human story, about two people who are struggling with their own failures and trying to overcome their past mistakes to do some actual good - for themselves and for the world, which feels very similar to the world we all live in now, except the tech is better. DARK SPACE is a love letter to those space operas, to the sci-fi novels that not only entertained but made me think, and to the spy novels - particularly those of John le Carré - that showed us the murky gray areas between “good” and “bad” guys. DARK SPACE hopefully blends it all together into something potent and new - the kind of sci-fi novel that flies high, but also stays close to what makes any story work: character. In Jose Carriles and Mary Timony, readers will discover two very real, very complicated, and imperfect people who will try their best to do the right thing - but might fail on the way. Pretty relatable, I think. The Mosaic is now boarding. We hope you enjoy the ride. Thanks for reading.

The wait is over, #psychologicalthriller fans! TWO GOOD MEN by S.E Redfearn / Suzanne Redfearn (internationally bestselling author of #InAnInstant and #HadleyAndGrace) is officially available now in multiple formats (including audio narrated by Curt Bonnem)!💫🥳🔥 __________ Dear Readers, TWO GOOD MEN has hit the shelves! This is my first suspense thriller, and I am excited to share it with the world. The characters are among my favorites. As Tolstoy famously said, "The best stories don't come from 'good vs. bad' but 'good vs. good.'" I hope you enjoy the cat-and-mouse chase of these two noble men on opposite sides of the law. My children, Joe and Halle, are in town to join me for the launch party, which makes the occasion extra special. I will be putting them to work of course, and my husband will be providing the food and drinks. It comes in handy owning a restaurant (we own Lumberyard Restaurant in Laguna Beach, California). The inspiration for this story came from a teacher I had in middle school who was more poet than educator. Every once in a while, as time was ticking down at the end of the day, he would segue into something that had nothing to do with what we were learning, and the digression I remember most was a story he told of a man who had died and was standing outside the Pearly Gates of Heaven. His whole life, the man had been a history buff, so when God asked him if he had any questions, he said, “Tell me, Heavenly Father, who was the greatest hero to ever live?" God parted the clouds, turned back the hands of time, and pointed down to a man on the sidewalk outside Grand Central Station shining shoes. The history buff was baffled. He had been thinking of Pericles or Joan of Arc or Alexander the Great. God smiled. “Had there been a war during his time, he would have been the greatest hero to ever live.” The story made an impression. It’s hard to know the greatness we possess until it is tested. Which ultimately is what Two Good Men is about--an average, law-abiding guy challenged to be more than he is and forced to act outside the law to do it. I'm sure that long-ago teacher has no idea the effect he had on me, but many of his melancholy introspections have stayed with me and, ultimately, more than thirty years later, his morsel about heroes inspired this story. We never know all the people we affect or how our ripples rearrange the world. Best, Suzanne . . 📕Start reading #TWOGOODMEN: https://lnkd.in/gPva8ViZ . . #seredfearn #suzanneredfearn #thrillerbooks #thrillerbookstagram #scifithrillerbooks #BlackstoneBooks #BlackstonePublishing #BlackstoneAudio #crimethrillerbooks #murdermystery #readingthrillers #twogoodmenbook #octoberrelease #crimedrama #authorsnote #psychologicalthrillers #curtbonnem #pubday #happypubday #happypublicationday #dearreader #dearreaders
