St. Charles, Ill.-based Medallion Press, best known for their romance fiction list, has announced that it is launching a nonfiction line. The new imprint will focus upon motivational and self-help titles, as well as autobiography and memoir.
The debut release in Medallion’s nonfiction line will be a memoir by Dawn Schiller, The Road Through Wonderland, which will delve into her relationship with porn star John Holmes and its impact upon her life. Actor Val Kilmer, who plays John Holmes in the film The Wonderland Murders (Lion’s Gate 2003), and actress Kate Bosworth, who plays Schiller opposite Kilmer, will both contribute a foreword to the book, scheduled for release in August 2010.
Wonderland will be followed in November 2010 by an as-yet-untitled memoir by Medallion publisher and historical romance author Helen Rosburg, and in January 2011 a motivational book by Staci Boyer, an award-winning master personal trainer and fitness educator. Medallion titles are distributed to the trade by IPG.
