Seventh Star Press, LLC
When the Cold Breathes A Ragnar Stormbringer Tale A Ragnar Stormbringer TaleSeventh Star Press, LLC is the book’s identified publisher and a central institutional presence in the publication record. Its significance extends beyond the imprint line: the evidence connects it with the book’s cover production, Stephen Zimmer’s work as an independent author and filmmaker, the Imaginarium Convention, and a wider platform for creative projects.
Publishing Identity and Publication Record
Seventh Star Press, LLC is explicitly credited as the publisher. The publication materials also give the shorter form Seventh Star Press, identifying the organization in both the formal copyright and imprint information. The book carries ISBN 978-1-948042-45-1 and states that it was printed in the United States of America, placing the organization within a conventional commercial publication framework rather than presenting it merely as an informal authorial label.
The imprint’s public-facing contact information is supplied through www.seventhstarpress.com and info@seventhstarpress.com. These details present Seventh Star Press, LLC as an accessible publishing organization with an established external presence. The combination of a formal legal name, ISBN identification, website, and email address gives the publication record a clearly institutional shape.
Role in Book Production
The organization is also tied directly to the book’s visual presentation. The cover art is credited to Olivia Pro Design, while the copyright notice assigns ownership of the cover art to Olivia Pro Design and Seventh Star Press, LLC. This makes the press more than a name attached to the finished volume: it is identified as a rights-holder in an element that materially shapes the reader’s first encounter with the work.
The production credits distinguish the press’s role from that of the individual contributors. Olivia Pro Design is named for cover art and design, Holly Marie Phillippe is credited as editor, and Seventh Star Press, LLC is credited as publisher. The division of labor records a collaborative production structure in which the organization occupies the coordinating and issuing role while specialized contributors handle design and editorial work.
Connection with Stephen Zimmer
The organization’s relationship with Stephen Zimmer is both professional and entrepreneurial. Zimmer is described as an award-winning author and filmmaker based in Lexington, Kentucky, and as the founder of Seventh Star Press and the Imaginarium Convention. The evidence therefore places the press within an independent creative network founded and developed by the same figure whose literary and visual work it helps present.
That connection gives the press a broader identity than a single-book imprint. Zimmer’s listed literary works include the Rayden Valkyrie novels, The Rising Dawn Saga, The Fires in Eden Series, the Hellscapes short story collections, the Harvey and Solomon steampunk tales, and the forthcoming YA series the Faraway Saga. His visual work includes the television pilot Rayden Valkyrie: Saga of a Lionheart, several short films, and the feature Shadows Light. Within this range, Seventh Star Press, LLC appears as part of an ecosystem supporting independent genre publishing alongside film, online media, and convention activity.
Creative Platform and Public Mission
The evidence associates Seventh Star Press, LLC with initiatives intended to support independent creators. Zimmer is described as striving to help other independent creatives pursue their own paths, and the press belongs to the same institutional constellation as the Imaginarium Convention. This positions the organization not only as a publisher of books but also as an enabling platform within a larger creative community.
The organization’s presence is consequently double in character. On the practical level, it publishes the book, participates in the ownership of its cover art, and provides formal contact and identification information. On the broader level, it is connected to a founder’s effort to build opportunities for independent authors, filmmakers, and other creatives. The available evidence does not establish the press’s complete catalogue, internal structure, or publishing policies, but it does clearly establish a role that joins book production to an expanding independent-creative infrastructure.
