When traditional publishers go for the bottom line, the DDP rises above.
Historical Fiction doesn’t need to indulge sagas set in safe and Eurocentric comfort zones like ancient Rome and Greece and the settings these engendered.
Are you bored by the Victorians and their manors?
Sick of detectives with complexes only Freud could love?
Confused by French periods?
Left aghast by Visigoths, Vikings, and Vampires?

The Desert Debris Press announces the launch of The Muhammad Amalfi Mysteries, a series of international award-winning historical novels of adventure and intrigue.
Set in a time and a place misunderstood and misrepresented by western historical narratives, the Mysteries bring to life the rich but troubled civilization of North Africa during the final decades of Ottoman rule.
From the southern shores of the Mediterranean, the Deys of Algiers navigated the treacherous waters churned up by revolution in France as one European power after another struggled with the choice to make peace or make war while the Deys had to decide between trading and raiding.
With close attention to historical and cultural details, the books in the series bring to life an obscure chapter in history through the keen observations of a gifted but inexperienced young man with the perspective of an outsider. In the later books of the series, Muhammad’s observations are balanced by his older and more experienced wife whose knowledge of the inner workings of society, especially the society of women, far outstrips that of her husband.
