Lake Hill Press is my incipient venture in self-publishing. It’s named after the little hill above Swan Lake, on the side of which I live.

Currently, the Lake Hill catalogue includes a grand total of two titles, of which one has been published and the other is still being written.

This project is provisional. If I can find a publisher who possesses ampler resources for production, publicity, and distribution, and who is willing to take on either title on agreeable terms, I’ll be more than happy to turn it over.

The first title, Three Chords and the Truth: The Peter Brunette Songbook, was published in January 2026. It contains the words and music for forty-eight of my songs.

  • Softcover book.
  • Professionally printed and bound.
  • Size: 8.5 inches by 11 inches, not counting the coil binding.
  • Number of pages: xiv + 338.
  • Number of illustrations: 85, of which 64 are in colour.

The songbook may be purchased in my
store, and the digital version is available as a free download.

The other volume, The Artful Animal: Human Nature in Retrospect and Prospect, is a prose work. This is my current writing project and is unlikely to be completed before 2029 at the earliest. Should I manage to complete it, the volume (or volumes) is certain to run to many hundreds of pages.

A draft of its
Prologue, the only portion sufficiently polished to merit sharing, is presented here. Constructive criticism is welcome.
