This is the website for PEP Books LLC (the publishing entity for self-published author Paul Eldon Puryear )
I am closing this website down effective 2 August 2025. This has been a good site and it was supported by Register.com & they have been excellent. It is just that after over 15 years it is time to shut this down. I have 400 copies remaining of my novel. How to get in touch with me. The best way to contact is to write me at PO Box 5902 Arlington Texas 76005-5902 or at paulepuryear@hotmail.com. Also pepbooks@gmail.com. At some point in the future (in a year or two like late 2026 or early 2027) I may re-open pepbooks.com as a website and hopefully by then have more offerings. I am retaining the rights to the domain pepbooks.com. In the meantime you will find I post stuff on YouTube from time to time and I may do some podcasting here soon. One never knows with me. Now I will return to the regularly scheduled programming (little joke there)

You can read selections from my book:
"A Man Living Apart From His World"
(4/24/2025) Howdy! Update - Yet still working on site. Still having trouble with loading stuff (pictures).
Site mostly dormant for all intents & purposes for a while. I am going to be (1) adding artwork (as soon as I have it copyright protected), (2) changing some entries & (3) adding some entries from my Magnum Opus, Part I (c). And some discussion of that work - plus Parts II & III to follow. What I call my “professional writing” I cannot include here. Not for public view.
Lot of art work submitted for copyright - paintings, photographic work, etc. Will add when I can. Drove myself insane with Magnum Opus, Part I - got some good comments on it. One reviewer said major literary work quality, another thought it "cathertic." A few other positive comments - and some consideration I was too tough on me and not enough on her. Still read parts at times - get lost in the story, the woman I loved so much and that which I did which cost me her. The “Magnum Opus” - intended for family & friends. Some asked over time (primarily) 2 questions. Was difficult to finish? Hurt in some ways, felt good in others. Tried to be fair & complete. Maybe I succeeded. The “Magnum Opus” is not intended for publication I copyrighted it so be able to use bits & pieces from it elsewhere. Once I get Parts II & III reviewed & copyrighted I will turn my attention fully to other projects. Will publish parts as I can. I hope those who see my “Magnum Opus” will think I did not waste the 7-8 years I devoted to it. I'll include an excerpt or 2 here in for your viewing. Give one a feel for what I wrote. The price of a hardbound copy of my book "A Man Living Apart from His World" is $10. My "compilaiton of Poems (in folio) is $8. If you want to talk about a book, poetry, artwork or whatever contact me - best way write me at PO BOX 5902 Arlington Texas 76005-5902. I started work on my Great American Novel (they say every writer has one ot fhose in them) this June (2024). Still slogging along... Constantly work on myriad projects. Tend not to get much done. Must still be lazy & crazy after all theses years (apologies to Paul SIMON)...
