DENNER Media began with practical, thoughtful books — journals, guided workbooks, and wellness-focused titles designed to help people engage more honestly with themselves and their lives.
The first author published under the imprint was Candace Raynes, whose trauma-informed wellness titles helped establish the kind of grounded, meaningful work DENNER Media was built to support. From there came Sit With It by Joseph Trevors — the imprint’s first full-length nonfiction release, written for people exhausted by the constant pressure to “fix” themselves instead of understanding what they’re carrying.
That foundation remains central to who we are.
But from the beginning, DENNER Media was never intended to live in only one category.
Today, the imprint officially expands into fiction with the release of Absent Signal by Gerald Barnaby — Book One of the Dark Frequency series.
A contemporary espionage thriller rooted in operational realism and institutional psychology, Absent Signal follows Mara Kess and a five-person ghost intelligence unit operating in the space between flag and shadow. What begins as a contained recovery operation gradually reveals something far larger — a buried intelligence architecture that may have been watching them long before the mission began.
Fast-moving, morally complicated, and operationally grounded, Absent Signal represents the launch of DENNER Media’s fiction arm — and the beginning of a much larger world already in development.
The novel is available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover formats through Amazon and major online retailers, and is distributed through Ingram’s global wholesale network for bookstores and libraries. Readers can also request the title through their preferred local bookstore using the book title, author name, or ISBN.
This matters to us.
DENNER Media was built to publish thoughtful, well-designed books that deserve to exist in the world — regardless of category or genre. Wellness. Fiction. Personal development. Operational thrillers. Journals. Books with weight behind them.
Absent Signal is the next step in that evolution.
And it’s only the beginning.
