"As if in a sepulchral reproduction of The Last Judgement ...the good and the wicked, the impoverished and greedy, the sheep and the goats, those who had faith and those who would find faith, gave way to the archangel's weighing of souls as the devil watched on. And their souls passed, ironically, not through a molten river, but through the frigid waters of the North Atlantic." From the thriller, OMAR: A Novel, by Craig O. Thompson

Who Are We? In the days of leveraged buyouts, hostile takeovers, and giant "bottom-line" New York trade publishers... there are times when we might wish that Time-Warner or Bertelsmann would make us an offer. But it's more fun and certainly more challenging to be a young, upstart "small-house" publisher. Brightwater Publishing's Mission: to provide outstanding literary experiences coupled with challenging and intelligent reads. Our plans include a growing list of novels (currently under review), nonfiction books and a very special high-concept cookbook that we are quietly working on behind the scenes (to be published through our CB™ List). Integrity is the key, here. To paraphrase author Connie Shelton, you will find our first "imprint" will have cover art that depicts the story inside, editing that does not sap "the flavor from the original prose," and--with the assistance of our website--our books will not have shelf-lives shorter than a carton of milk. In short--Brightwater Publishing / StrataGem Press™ plans to be around for a long time, serving the needs of our customers with good old-fashioned service. Suffice it to say that StrateGem Press™ is our small imprint house of thrillers--including it's first major publication...OMAR: A Novel-- by author and expert on terrorism, Craig O. Thompson. We knew we had a winner here when complete strangers bought old copies of test-market draft manuscripts and then recommended us to their friends. Hence, the Collector's Galley-Proof-Like Limited, Numbered and Signed Edition. OR, for those looking for smaller personal hardbound or softbound books or for holiday gifts for relatives, friends and business associates, the "First-Edition" copies of Omar© -- available in hardbound or softbound NOW AVAILABLE. To say hello, offer suggestions, or submit queries for possible publication, contact us through our e-mail address: BrightPub@aol.com
