Matrika Press wishes to take this time to reflect on the past year as we launched optimistically into our endeavor of independent publishing.
This is a ministry of the heart, and as such 2016 found us often in gratitude as the exact perfect people crossed paths with us, and we with them. Authors, editors, curators and collaborators each stepped into this adventure with us, and for this we are grateful.
We thank especially our first authors, who believed in our mission as much as we do to take our UU Values and share them with the world! As a result we published six books in our first few months of operations in the autumn-time and have a dozen more authors’ books being assembled as we write this post.
Looking towards 2017 we see a year filled with hope, filled with creative expression, filled with sharing wonderful works with the world.
Happy New Year Everyone!!
Matrika Press books are now available worldwide!

HERITAGE COLLECTION
Two of our focuses at Matrika Press are to preserve texts and thoughts of our ancestors, and to create publications that share timeless and transformational values and principles. This allegorical story by David Starr Jordan is a tale about the search for spiritual meaning. Symbolic of Jesus Christ’s ministry, it succinctly embodies many Christian heritages and what some essentially draw their faith from, namely that which calls us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves.

What a wonderful show of support for Pittsfield Native, Dr. David Austin. Last night he returned to Pittsfield, his childhood home, to launch his first book, Therese’s Dream – Maine to Darfur: A Doctor’s Story.
He is clearly a beloved figure in Maine as many residents drove from neighboring towns to join in this celebration and to hear him read excerpts from his book. After reading several passages, Dr. Austin offered a brief Q & A, the time was quickly filled with inquiries about life in Africa, medical technology and treatment, challenges of language barriers and civil unrest in the countries he worked in.
Special thanks to Pittsfield Public Library for their generous support of local authors and the open arms that welcomed this author home.
Dr. Austin and his wife, Dell, will be moving to their home in Belize early in the new year where he is setting up a medical practice to help the people there.Dr. Austin will remain available for book readings and public speaking throughout the USA. For more information regarding scheduling Dr. Austin, email:
