Black Tortoise Press


The Black Tortoise, or the Warrior of the North is the symbol of longevity and wisdom.  With any luck, as we get older, and more contemplative, we get wiser.  Opinions are tempered with the knowledge that almost all issues are more complex than a sound-bite; and the sides of any story are as multifaceted as a diamond.

Black Tortoise Press is an Indie Publisher devoted to family-friendly works that entertain and make the reader think. Black Tortoise Press is an imprint of Uncommon Elements L.L.C. We are not currently accepting queries.
