In addition to the two guidebooks on writing style which Orange House Books has published in 2008, we have published the first of our histories of oilfield fiction —A Cavalcade of Oilfield Novels. These histories are modeled on those of Edward Wagenknecht, who traced the development of the novels of England and America in his series. The first of the four books about oilfield novels, Fountain Wells, is now available at online bookstores, for example Amazon.

Almost ready to be printed is the history of Texas Oilfield Novels, Gusher.
