An independent house.
Black Dunes Press is the author-publisher house of Rhys van Dael, where every title is written, edited, and designed under one roof.
What we are.
Black Dunes Press is a small, independent house. It publishes the work of Rhys van Dael and a handful of authors writing alongside him, without a chain of outside vendors between the page and the shelf.
Everything is made here. The worlds are authored, not licensed. The editing is done to the line. The covers and interiors are drawn for the format they will actually be read in. Across epic fiction, standalone thrillers, and non-fiction, the same hand touches each book from first draft to final file.
Stories forged in sand and silence.
