Authors Circa 2014

 

Skylar Hamilton Burris' first full length novel, Conviction: a Sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice quickly became a favorite among fans of the genre and has been on the best-seller's list for Amazon/Waldenbooks Religious Romance regularly.

She followed Conviction with a second sequel to Pride and Prejudice, An Unlikely Missionary, both published by Double Edge Press. Prior to her full-length works, she published a poetry collection,  "A Greater Sound By Far", and a short story, novellete collection, "The Strange Marriage of Anne de Bourgh," also inspired by Pride and Prejudice.

Conviction: a sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
Skylar Hamilton Burris
308 pages - Soft Cover List: 21.95

As the sister of Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Georgiana is assured of a large dowry. It’s up to her to weed out the fortune hunters among her beaus. But will she be able to determine which man most complements her spirit? And once she has given her word to one man can she train her heart to obey? 

Questions of loyalty, faith, conviction, and love feed this engaging romp, which introduces the captivating vicar Jacob Markwood, an ambitious soldier, a flirtatious abolitionist, and an ordinary curate while continuing the lives of favorites Mr. and Mrs. Darcy and Kitty Bennett.

Reviews:

Jacob Markwood could give Mr. Darcy a serious run for his money in the romantic lead depart-ment. . . Skylar Burris has done an amazing job at keeping the reader believing. Her style doesn’t mimic Austen’s beat for beat, but the story is so well written that I had no problem suspending the knowledge that Austen didn’t write this. The author remained true to the characters and the style that made Pride and Prejudice such a good read. This is a must read for any Jane Austen fan.

~Sara Mills, reviewer (Christian Fiction Review) 
. . . [T]his book is wonderful and—PRIDE AND PREJUDICE aside—can stand alone as an excellent novel in and of itself. The characters are rich (and believable for the Regency period); the plot is delightful, and you’ll find Georgiana Darcy to be a moving heroine. Even if you haven’t read P&P, you can still enjoy (and love) CONVICTION.
~POD-DY Mouth, reviewer

An Unlikely Missionary
Skylar Hamilton Burris
196 pages - Soft Cover
List: 17.95

Skylar Hamilton Burris, author of Amazon Religious Romance Bestseller Conviction, explores the life of Charlotte Collins in An Unlikely Missionary her second sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.

In the pages of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Charlotte Collins seems the antithesis of romance. She possesses neither beauty nor sparkling personality, as she herself ruefully acknowledges. Her lack of fortune and prospects forces her to adopt a pragmatic view of life, and, much to the horror of her close friend Elizabeth Darcy, she consents to marry the boorish Mr. Collins, a respectable rector.

From there, Skylar Hamilton Burris picks up the tale. In An Unlikely Missionary, Charlotte and her husband find themselves in the presence of Lady Catherine de Bourgh, who informs them that she has arranged a mission trip for them. This seeming whim of their benefactress will prove to have far greater consequences than any of them can foresee.
Charlotte finds herself far away from the world she once knew and the practical niche she had carved within it. This new world ushers in a new cast of characters: fellow missionaries, Indian villagers, and their fascinating, mysterious, and handsome leader, Mr. Rivers. Charlotte discovers that the very traits she thought were disadvantages in her old world are valued highly by her fellow workers and even by the harsh Mr. Rivers. But will her practicality and pragmatism enable her to endure tragedy, brace her for the revelation of Mr. Rivers’ past, and equip her to search her soul and discover who she really is?

When the Heart Is Laid Bare
Skylar Hamilton Burris
256 pages - Soft Cover
List: 17.95

Coach Calder Johnson's wife has, according to the hospital social worker, expired. Expired. Like a credit card. Not like a human being. Calder hasn't had a true friend, other than his wife, in twenty-four years. So if he's going to heal, he'll have to learn to let someone inside.

Unfortunately, Calder's catalog of potential friends swells with unlikely candidates.  There's Jacoby Reynolds, the blunt Anglican priest who watched his wife die, and Lynn McIntire, the beautiful but strangely efficient single mother next door. Then there's Justin Robinson, an embittered teen Calder wants to recruit for his high school football team. Enter also Connie Myers, the new Calvert High principal, an attractive yet hard-edged woman who's determined to shake up the status quo.

Only when Coach Johnson's heart is finally laid bare will he learn that you can find friendship—and love—in the most unexpected places

 

"I am a big fan of Skylar Hamilton Burris' work, and have read all of her current releases. I live and work in Baltimore, Maryland and discovered her books when we moved to our current residence. The discovery was completely serendipidous. Our belongings were packed and the moving van was on its way to our new digs. We used the best family owned Baltimore movers we know of and who had moved us 2 other times. I was waiting for the movers in the new house, and in the garage I came upon a bookshelf full of books that the previous owners had left behind, and among those books was Conviction. I started reading and could not put it down! The movers arrived and I was quite annoyed that I couldn't continue reading! Anyway, I then looked up her other books and I believe I have them all. A chance encounter during a hectic move lead to a long lasting love of Ms. Burris and her charming romance novels." Whitney Charles

 



 

Six Weeks at Ryder
Karen Gonzalez
290 pages - Soft Cover
List: 21.95

Karen Gonzalez was born in New York City. As a child, her family moved to New Orleans and then to rural Picayune, Mississippi, where she spent most of her childhood. After marrying the love of her life, physician Federico Gonzalez, they moved to the Boston area. Karen is an operating room nurse and her husband and she have been married for twenty-eight years. They have four beautiful daughters and now reside in the Kansas City locale. Since the age of eight, she has been a die-hard equestrian and still rides as well as operating a small hunter-jumper facility. Her passion for horse sports has been passed down to her daughter, Bianca.

In 2010, her paper on rehabilitation of brain injury was presented at the first International Brain Injury Association meeting held in the US in Washington DC. She was subsequently invited to submit a further paper and a book presentation featuring Six Weeks at Ryder for the 2014 meeting in San Francisco, CA.

In the summer of 2005, Karen Gonzalez and her husband receive the one phone call every parent dreads: their beautiful daughter, Bianca, who risked injury every time she competed in equestrian jumping instead has been in a horrific motorcycle accident, and she hadn't been wearing a helmet.

As an R.N. working surgery, Karen is only too aware of the extensive brain damage that can come from this type of accident—if the victim even survives. They quickly exhaust their options in their local Kansas town, and Karen takes extraordinary measures to have Bianca admitted to Ryder Trauma Center in Miami, Florida.

During their time there, they ride out Hurricane Katrina and hear first hand accounts of what really went on in the New Orleans Superdome. Through all this, Karen is focused on Bianca. Will she move? Will she ever talk? Is there any hope at all of finding her daughter somewhere deep inside this helpless being? By the end of their Six Weeks at Ryder, she will have her answer.

More Background On DoubleEdgePress.com

 

DoubleEdgePress.com represents a distinctive chapter in the landscape of early-21st-century American Christian publishing. Although it ceased active operations years ago, the website and its archived content continue to circulate through educational portals, archival projects, and literary communities interested in niche presses. The resurgence of interest in the site—particularly through restoration efforts and inclusion in academic reading lists—has elevated Double Edge Press from a modest independent publisher to a noteworthy cultural artifact in the study of Christian literature, small-press economics, and faith-centered creative communities.

Its archived materials, spanning roughly 2006 to 2014, provide an unusually transparent record of a developing publishing house: its goals, its methods, its author roster, and its cultural positioning. Through these records, one can reconstruct not just the catalog of Double Edge Press but the values and vision that guided its editorial choices. From traditional Christian fiction to historical epics, personal memoirs, trauma narratives, maritime histories, and reinterpretations of classic literature, Double Edge Press cultivated a catalogue that blended faith, storytelling, and moral reflection.

This comprehensive overview draws from online research, public records, archived pages, and academic references to present a full portrait of Double Edge Press—its ownership, mission, operations, authors, impact, cultural significance, and legacy.

Ownership and Foundational Vision

Double Edge Press was founded in 2005 and operated primarily from Scenery Hill, Pennsylvania. While never a large corporate publisher, the press appears to have been privately owned and independently managed. The archived materials and distribution policies suggest a traditional yet hands-on management model where the founders engaged directly with author acquisition, editing, marketing, and distribution partnerships.

The name “Double Edge Press” is itself reflective of its mission: embracing a “double edge” approach to manuscript selection and marketing. This theme is repeated across archived mission statements, emphasizing:

  • Traditional editorial standards

  • Selective manuscript curation

  • A strong preference for new, talented authors

  • Commitment to Christian values and worldview

  • A hybrid printing approach that uses both offset printing and print-on-demand

The press positioned itself as a bridge between traditional publishing and innovative small-press strategies, particularly in its early use of print-on-demand technology—a model that helped new publishers manage costs while offering authors broader availability.

Location and Operational Infrastructure

Double Edge Press operated from:

Double Edge Press
72 Ellview Road
Scenery Hill, PA 15360

This rural Pennsylvania location is consistent with many U.S. independent religious and literary presses that emerged outside major metropolitan publishing centers. Scenery Hill, known for its historic buildings and tight-knit community, likely contributed to the press’s grounded, faith-centered ethos.

Although headquartered in Pennsylvania, the press functioned with nationally distributed reach. Through partnerships such as:

  • Midpoint Trade Books Distribution

  • Accounts with Barnes & Noble

  • Books-A-Million

  • Target

  • Sam’s Club

  • Walmart

Double Edge Press maintained a profile far larger than a typical rural micro-press. These partnerships allowed its authors to be stocked on shelves nationwide during the late 2000s, a significant achievement in the Christian publishing market.

Publishing Goals and Editorial Priorities

The earliest archived mission statement lists three primary goals:

  1. 80% of titles published should be by new, highly talented authors.

  2. 20% should be by previously published authors, including those originally debuted by the press.

  3. A premier line of at least 20 quality titles available by 2006.

This emphasis on new voices positioned Double Edge Press as a launching platform for emerging Christian authors—particularly those writing within romance, historical fiction, and faith-inspired narratives. At a time when larger Christian publishers were consolidating and becoming more selective, Double Edge Press filled a niche for authors seeking an accessible yet respectful publishing home.

Their editorial guidelines later clarified:

  • No works contrary to Christian worldview

  • No vampire/werewolf or paranormal themes

  • No erotica

  • No children’s books

  • No poetry

  • Strong preference for works aligning with traditional Christian morality

This specificity helped differentiate the press from vanity publishers or more general small presses. It aligned itself squarely with values-driven readership.

Catalog Overview and Notable Authors

Double Edge Press developed a surprisingly diverse catalogue for its size, with titles spanning:

  • Christian romance

  • Historical fiction

  • Maritime and military history

  • Inspirational memoirs

  • Trauma and recovery narratives

  • Sequels to literary classics written from a Christian perspective

  • Faith-based contemporary drama

Skylar Hamilton Burris

One of its most prominent authors, Skylar Hamilton Burris, produced some of the press’s best-selling titles. Her novels—particularly Conviction and An Unlikely Missionary—built upon themes and settings from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, appealing to Christian romance readers and Austen enthusiasts alike. Burris’ works achieved strong Amazon sales, especially in religious romance categories.

Her titles demonstrated Double Edge Press’s editorial strengths:

  • Respectfully expanding classic literature

  • Integrating faith themes without overt preachiness

  • Crafting character-driven narratives with moral depth

James Spurr

Another cornerstone author, James Spurr, contributed a multi-book historical fiction series known as the Great Lakes, Great Guns Series. These novels blended meticulous historical research, naval adventure, and personal drama centered on the War of 1812. Spurr’s background as a maritime historian and legal professional gave his writing credibility and richness.

The series was praised by historians, museum directors, and maritime heritage professionals, contributing meaningful cultural and educational value.

Karen Gonzalez

Karen Gonzalez offered a deeply personal and emotionally powerful memoir, Six Weeks at Ryder, documenting her daughter’s traumatic accident and their experience inside Miami’s Ryder Trauma Center. The memoir attracted attention within medical, nursing, and trauma-recovery communities and showcased the press’s willingness to publish non-fiction with profound spiritual resilience.

Marketing, Distribution, and Business Practices

Double Edge Press embraced flexible and author-friendly business strategies. Archived pages highlight:

  • Large discounts for bulk orders

  • Custom discount programs for retailers

  • 30-day net accounts

  • Full return policies on standard-discount orders

  • Rapid order fulfillment

These policies reflected traditional publishing professionalism rather than vanity-press models.

The use of print-on-demand technology, paired with traditional offset printing, offered scalability. Smaller initial print runs reduced financial risk, while offset options allowed larger distribution when sales justified it.

Their distribution partnership with Midpoint Trade Books was significant. Midpoint was known for supporting independent publishers and helping them reach chain retailers nationwide. For a small Christian press, this level of distribution was a major achievement and helped Double Edge Press titles attain mainstream availability.

Historical Progression and Timeline

2005–2006: Founding and Launch Period

During its first years, the press established:

  • Submission guidelines

  • Distribution networks

  • Initial author roster

  • Plans for rapid catalog expansion

  • Early bookstore events and signings

This era featured heavy emphasis on building name recognition and attracting new authors.

2007–2010: Growth and Genre Diversification

The catalog expanded across several categories, including:

  • Christian historical romance

  • Seafaring historical fiction

  • Memoir and trauma recovery literature

The press gained visibility through book signings, historical society endorsements, and online Christian fiction communities.

2011–2014: Maturity and Stabilization

During this period, Double Edge Press solidified its position as a small but respected independent Christian publisher. Authors were achieving strong Amazon category rankings, new titles were being presented at conferences, and historical fiction titles received attention from academic and maritime organizations.

Post-2014: Dormancy and Archival Preservation

By late 2014, activity appears to have tapered off. The website went offline around the mid-2010s, after which it was preserved by digital archive projects. Today, DoubleEdgePress.com no longer functions as an active publishing house, but its restored content remains accessible through archival initiatives and educational use.

Audience and Popularity

Double Edge Press appealed primarily to:

  • Christian fiction readers

  • Fans of classic literature adaptations

  • Maritime and military history enthusiasts

  • Readers seeking spiritually grounded narratives

  • Religious romance audiences

  • Church-based book clubs

  • Homeschooling families with Christian curricula

Within Amazon’s subcategories, certain titles achieved:

  • Bestseller rankings in Religious Romance

  • Strong customer reviews

  • Long-tail sales due to niche readership

Skylar Hamilton Burris’s novels were especially popular among:

  • Austen fan communities

  • Christian romance bloggers

  • Readers of Regency-era fiction

Meanwhile, James Spurr’s series attracted:

  • Historical reenactors

  • Professors and history lecturers

  • Museum patrons

  • Maritime enthusiasts

  • Fans of Patrick O’Brian and C.S. Forester

Thus, Double Edge Press maintained multiple distinct audience segments—a rare achievement for a small publisher.

Cultural and Social Significance

Double Edge Press holds lasting relevance for several reasons:

1. Representation of Christian Independent Publishing

It serves as a case study in how small presses supported Christian authors outside mainstream religious publishing conglomerates.

2. Preservation of Niche Historical Narratives

Spurr’s novels preserve maritime history and broaden the scope of War of 1812 representation for modern readers.

3. Community Engagement

The press hosted numerous book signings, author events, and showcase opportunities in churches, bookstores, wineries, and historical venues—fostering connections between authors and readers.

4. Literary Continuation of Classic Works

Burris’s Austen-derived novels represent a niche literary tradition where Christian authors reinterpret classic works through faith-centered perspectives.

5. Educational and Academic Integration

More recently, archival versions of DoubleEdgePress.com have been included in courses examining:

  • Religion in commerce

  • Independent publishing ecosystems

  • The intersection of faith and literary production

These academic uses reinforce the site's significance beyond its original commercial purpose.

Legacy

Although Double Edge Press no longer operates as a commercial publisher, its legacy is preserved through:

  • Archive.org snapshots

  • Educational reading lists

  • Surviving paperback copies

  • Literary blogs and reviewer discussions

  • Maritime history networks

  • Christian fiction communities

  • Restored digital versions curated by archival teams

DoubleEdgePress.com stands as a cultural artifact that reflects:

  • The aspirations of early-2000s independent publishers

  • The creativity of emerging Christian authors

  • The importance of archival preservation

Its contributions—whether through historical fiction, personal memoirs, or faith-based storytelling—continue to resonate with specialized audiences today.
