At Dwyer Street Press, we publish the stories we want to disappear into — where Cold War sensibilities meet modern chaos, and secrets peel back like layers of an onion, revealing the blur between truth, betrayal, and the human condition.
Our books are just like us: funny, dark, complex, and raw.
Walk down The Street... see what kind of trouble you can get into.
J.L. Calder - Award Winning Thriller Author and Founder of Dwyer Street
JL can remember picking up a pen for the first time as the Berlin Wall fell, aware then that the event would define a generation. A degree in English Literature from UCLA followed, with a concentration in military and espionage fiction shaped by the tendency to pick electives that featured professors like David Mamet, and a graduation thesis titled James Bond's Role in Shaping the Lexicon of Espionage.
With three subsequent decades in film production, Calder brings a cinematic eye to the page — along with a healthy disregard for taking creative notes.
