Our Books
Stories With Teeth.
Books That Leave A Mark.
We don't believe every story should make you comfortable.
Some should keep you up at night. Some should piss you off. Some should break your heart, challenge what you thought you knew, or introduce you to a world you've never seen before.
At Concrete Rose Publishing, we publish bold fiction, gripping thrillers, unapologetic memoirs, and culturally driven stories written without sanding down the edges.
These are the stories we put our name on.
Read accordingly.

The Crown Athletic Files
Behind Every Scoreboard Is A Story They Don't Want You Investigating.
A collection of high-stakes sports thrillers exploring what happens when competition collides with money, institutional power, ambition, corruption, and the people willing to protect all of it.

But somebody else is keeping score.
