About Calico Gold Publishing

Founded by author James C. Tanner, the publishing house focuses on works that explore history, economics, geopolitics, the American frontier, human behavior, and the long-term patterns that shape societies.
While many titles published under the Calico GOLD Publishing name are written by Tanner himself, the publishing house also aims to support other writers whose work contributes to thoughtful discussion about history, economics, and the forces shaping the future of nations.

Calico GOLD Publishing exists for readers who are curious about the world — and who believe that books have the power to inform, challenge, and transform.
Founded by James C. Tanner, our catalog spans a wide range of genres and subjects: history, geopolitics, and global economics for those who want to understand the forces shaping civilization; fiction, western novels, and character-driven storytelling for those who want to be transported; and personal development, relationships, and business for those building something meaningful in their own lives.
