Blue Cedar Press is publishing its 7th book late August, an outstanding book by Mark McCormick, prize-winning journalist and currently the executive director of The Kansas African American Museum. Some Were Paupers, Some Were Kings: Dispatches from Kansas has been acclaimed by nationally syndicated journalist and novelist Leonard Pitts and Ed O'Malley, a Republican candidate for governor, former legislator and director of the Kansas Leadership Center, who wrote the forward.
Mark's collected columns accompanied by photos are thought provoking and moving. He is an outstanding writer who uses humor and storytelling to draw attention to the ethical issues of our time, focusing especially on the lives of Kansans, the famous and the invisible. The book can be ordered in advance at bluecedarpress.com website or Blue Cedar Press on Facebook. It will be available at Amazon, but please support Wichita's only independent press by ordering directly from them (Amazon takes a huge chunk from any books it sells and Blue Cedar Press wants to publish two more books in 2018.) Price: $18; group orders for book clubs, church groups, etc. receive a reduced rate of $15.
