Crescent City, California

A harbor light for a short list.

Battery Point Press is a small publishing imprint named for the lighthouse at Battery Point in Crescent City. The list is historical science fiction, opened with one novel and built to grow into a series.

The imprint

The name comes from the lighthouse on the islet off Crescent City, California, a tower you can walk to when the tide is out. The mark is that light: a simple tower and a warm beam on a dark coast.

The list is meant to stay small. It begins with The Long Night: Rome, AD 64, historical science fiction set in Rome in AD 64–65, around the Great Fire. The book is the first of a planned series. The series name is not chosen yet, and sequels are planned rather than announced.
