Eckhartz Everyday


*On this day in 2012, we released our second book, Down at the Golden Coin by Kim Strickland. Paige Wiser from Windy City Live said: “Down at the Golden Coin” couldn’t be more timely or original, with the most eccentric spiritual guide since Clarence the Angel. Prepare to set your set your brain to spin-cycle.

It was also the moment when Dave and I realized we could publish for authors other than ourselves. That was now 80 authors ago.



*On this day in 2011, Roger Badesch was trapped on Lake Shore Drive during a terrible snow storm. It became a famous story as he reported it back to his radio station WGN until his phone died. It also later became the cover of his Eckhartz Press book The Unplanned Life, which was released in 2020, and is still available today.



*On this day in 2016, Dobie Maxwell appeared on Steve Cochran's morning show on WGN Radio to promote his Eckhartz Press book Monkey in the Middle



*On this day in 2019, we started taking pre-orders for Janet Sutherland's book Nose Over Toes. A portion of the proceeds from this book continue to go to the Brain Aneuryism Foundation.
