Compared to authors such as Roger Zelazny and Harlan Ellison, Banks takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotion with stories ranging from the sweet tale of a boy who simply wants to be “Touched” by a world he’s struggling to understand, to the haunting and lyrical tale of the savior of abused kids known as "The Soul Man."
===========================================================
While we mainly publish speculative fiction and nonfiction by author
Gregory Bernard Banks, from time to time we will re-release classic
public domain works which we feel need to be preserved and remembered
for future generations. We'll also publish guides to aid other
Independent Authors achieve their own success.
But our main goal is to publish speculative fiction, the kind of
fiction that stimulates the mind and touches the soul. We aim to tell
stories about people and places great and small, take you on adventures
to the quiet corners and farthest reaches of the Universe, to explore
both the wondrous and the mundane. We harken back to the heydey of
fiction when names like Bradbury and Heinlein ruled, but to do so with
a modern day twist which range from fantasy and horror to science
fiction surrealism.

Print: $19.95 The last ten years have been a time of growth and discovery for author Gregory Bernard Banks. He’s grown both as a person and as a writer, and in the process he’s found the purpose in life he’d spent the prior 31 years aimlessly searching for.
Now, for the first time, Gregory Banks, author, poet, and lifelong sufferer of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (a brittle bone disorder) gives insight into what makes him the person he is today, and how his development as a person has coincided with his development as a writer. He shares his feelings, his thoughts, his opinions, and many examples of both his writing and art as he takes you on A Writer’s Journey in Poetry & Prose.

Print: $11.95 Gregory Banks uses both poetry and prose to delve into such wide-reaching topics as depression, domestic violence, suicide, and more. In several pieces, he explores the various facets of Alzheimer’s Disease, showing not only how it affects the individuals caring for those with the disease, but also his vision of the inner hell sufferers of the disease must go through. In the poem, “Surreality,” he expresses how he felt on September 11, 2001 as the sky seemed to fall, while in the short prose piece, “The Calling,” he gives a brief but powerful glimpse into the difficult moments while awaiting the death of a loved one. With simple yet poetic craft, Gregory Banks, himself a lifetime sufferer of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, often uses humor as well as surrealism to show his broad range of literary skills.

Print: $12.92 Many consider H.G. Wells the father of modern science fiction. Many of his novels are timeless classics, like "The Island of Dr. Moreau" and "The Invisible Man." But he's probably best known for stories like "The Time Machine" and "War of the Worlds," stories of such imagination that they have been made into movies several times, including the recent remake of "War of the Worlds" by Steven Spielberg, starring Tom Cruise. But Wells also wrote many short stories, particularly early in his career. Much of these early stories are precursors to some of his later novels, but are often hard to find or completely out of print today.
But now, one of Wells' classic short story collections, "The Door in the Wall and Other Stories" has been brought back in print by WheelMan Press in an attractive 6" x 9" trade paperback edition.
