Xinlishi Press

Xin li shi is Chinese for “new histories.” It is also a homophone (pronounced shin-lee-shuh) for something that comes “from the heart.” Xinlishi Press was created by DL Jung as an independent publisher to tell stories inspired by history, whether they are telling little known episodes from our real world or imagined histories of fantasy realms.
