Cane Creek Publishers, LLC (herein referred to as CCP) is located in North Carolina. The establishment of CCP began from the desire of author Timothy Penland and his family to see “The True Night Before Christmas” become a published book. The work, which was written in 1999, had been well received over the years with numerous requests for it to be published. In 2008, the decision to publish “The True Night Before Christmas” was made and CCP was born. Additionally, the company has published a companion title which tells the true story of Easter.

CCP has also launched The Night Before Series. An exciting, new children's series telling the stories of holiday celebrations, formative moments in American History, and foundational recountings of Bible stories. This children’s picture book series follows the same contextual format of the earlier Christmas and Easter books. Part of the series retells stories from the Bible, while the others recount major events and personalities in American history. We have 8 stories with more to come! These can be purchased at our On-line store in hardback and paperback.

The most recent release is "Dorothy and the Good Shepherd", which is the first in a "parable series" of children's books called The Lamplight Series.

We are reaching out to authors around the world who want to see their work published. We have a unique system that provides more control and more input to those authors just starting out and not sure what direction to go. This allows the author more ownership of their work, working closely with us to make the dream come true!



Our products are available in a variety of specialty gift shops, at our on-line store, and through our various showrooms and sales representative groups.
