Charlie G. Hughes founded Wind Publications as a literary press focused on Kentucky and regional writers. Hughes is the co-editor of Groundwater: Contemporary Kentucky Fiction, editor of The Kentucky Literary Newsletter, a biweekly e-mail newsletter, and author of Shifting for Myself, a volume of poems. Root for the Cubs: Charlie Root and the 1929 Chicago Cubs is among more than a dozen new titles that Wind Publications offers for 2009. Hughes, who grew up on a Kentucky farm, started Wind Publications out of a love for quality writing and his own passion for poetry. Hughes has given dozens of other Kentucky authors the same chances to fulfill their dreams by building a book list of more than 50 titles. The complete catalog of books can be found here. Bookstores and retailers can order directly through the publisher's web site; Wind Publications offers a 40 percent discount and honors guaranteed returns in exchange for shipping. Always a voracious reader, often to the detriment of his assigned studies, Hughes consumed endless volumes of science fiction, as well as sports biographies. He played on both his high school basketball and baseball teams, adding that he did so enthusiastically, if not skillfully. |
