BASKERVILLE PUBLISHERS UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP

After a dormant period, Texas entrepreneur Ron Moore is reviving Baskerville Publishers, an independent book publisher of fine literary and popular fiction

FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB) February 13, 2002
Ronald E. Moore has purchased Baskerville Publishers, Inc., an independent
book publisher of fine literary and popular fiction and performing arts. Moore
plans to restore Baskerville's tradition of publishing works by new emerging
authors, and its stellar opera biography series Great Voices. Negotiations are
underway for three new literary works and two additions to the Great Voices
series, including the autobiography of one of opera's greats for the first time
in English.

"In view of the huge consolidation of the publishing industry, I'm excited about
the chance to find and publish quality fiction which might otherwise go unread,"
said Moore, who was among the leading businessmen in the field of ambulatory
surgical centers. "I was very fortunate to be a part of the development of what
is now an integral part of our health care system. But now I have an opportunity
to exercise those skills in an area closer to the mind and heart."

Baskerville Publishers, launched in 1992 in Dallas by Jane Howle, has carved
a unique niche in the independent publishing world. The company has published
works by award winning authors, such as Peter Landesman, whose book "The
Raven," was the 1995 winner of the Sue Kaufman Award for First Fiction from
the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
