The New Year
On January 1st 2021, Hobart Books was launched. It was all down to the efforts of Adam Gardner who had spent years in the publishing industry. It was he who made the website and established Hobart as a registered company et cetera. At first we had two books, then four and then six. We moved quickly to get established.
Book seven came from playwright Judy Upton and we knew immediately we had a potential hit. I maintain that words take on a rhythm when used well and Judy's expertise along with her natural humour and ability to tell a story shone through her book, 'Out Of The Frying Pan.'
With its strapline, 'How many artists does it take to solve a kidnapping?', the book's premise and promise was clear.
Why Hobart Books? Adam and I were both stationed in Hobart Barracks in Detmold, Germany, named after Major-General Percy Hobart. When Adam jokingly suggested the name, it seemed to fit and a new publishing house was born.
