About Jack Stewart

Jack Steven John-Paul Stewart is a longtime supporter and devourer of many delicious kinds of processed deli foods, hotdogs, and cheeses. Billed nationwide as The Inconsistent Oracle and Itinerant Shaman, Jack was born into this world at the bitter end of the 20th Century somewhere in the vast hotbed of remote obscurity that is the Mojave desert. That he managed to somehow stumble his way back and forth across the dystopian technopolis of the United States, travel under the vast blue oblivion of the Pacific Ocean, and founded a nearly invisible publishing career with his first few novels, is something of a Delphine Mystery. He lives with his ever patient and long suffering wife and their menagerie of mechanical pets in another equally vast, remote, and obscure northern New Mexican desert.

Promoting Independent Publishers, Authors, and Artists

We’re on the lookout for independent peers to cross promote here at Iron Cross Publishing!

Independent publisher, authors, and artists all face a common challenge: exposure. When they are not publishing, writing, or drawing, they spend their time trying to get their work in front of receptive audiences, get an agent, get promoted, get seen! Nothing is worse for a creative individual trying to make it in this industry to have their work sit in an obscure corner of the internet and not be read, looked at, reviewed, and enjoyed.

Are you an author, independent publishing company, or artist that would like to have your work evaluated and posted here? Then send us a note and we’ll look at what you’ve got! We can post your story, post your artwork, and promote your work on social media. At a minimum, we’ll post a blurb and link to you site. Check out our Artist Highlight page, read a story from our Guest Author’s page, or visit our independent publisher peers on the Independent Press page!

Skully says, “Drop us a line!”

This week’s guest is the talented team of Hawk and Young. Read their superb young adult story Robots Love Techno.

Young attended college on a Faulkner writing scholarship and was editor of his school paper. He was a freelance writer for the “Cajun Press” in Avoyelles Parish.

Strange Behavior

It’s so late but I’m not sleepy so why not talk to the world? For those of you insomniacs out there in the real world, feast your eyes on this cover for Tales from a Savage World! She sings from somewhere you can’t see. She sits in the top of the greenest tree. She sends down an aroma of undefined love. It drifts on down in a mist from above.
