Independently made in New England
Websites, iOS apps, books, ebooks, audiobooks, articles… you name it. Our interests are about as varied as the projects we get ourselves into.
We’re Ian and Kristen, a couple of New Englanders who like making things. Penxhere Publishing is where it all comes together.

The written word
People are complicated.
That makes for good stories.
Kristen writes novels, short stories, essays, and interviews. Start with one of the books here, or wander over to her website for more reading and conversations about writing.

A logbook for the way pilots actually fly.
From the flight deck
More flying.
Less logbook housekeeping.
Ian’s an airline pilot. He wanted an electronic pilot logbook that made keeping up with his flying easier, so he built Blue Deck. Your flight records stay on your own devices, with optional sync when you want it.
Windows, Mac, iPhone & iPad

A bouquet with
a little personality. Yours.
What would you look like as a bunch of flowers? Youquet turns the traits that sound like you—or someone you love—into a personal botanical portrait. Add a name, make it your own, and share it, print it, or keep it just because.
Also coming to iOS. The app is in development—stay tuned!
Make a Youquet
The little details make a life.
Finding the words
Because a person is
more than a list of dates.
A free obituary and eulogy writing guide for a tribute that sounds like the person you knew. Kristen brings together the facts and the stories, with examples and prompts to help you find the words.

A little practice.
A little progress.
A simple piano practice app for making time at the keys. Record your practice, see how you’re getting on, and come back when you’re ready. No pressure to keep a streak alive.
In the works. Planned as a free app.
A window into our world
Penxhere is Albanian for “window,” a nod to Kristen’s heritage and her earlier venture, Penxhere Press. These days, there’s a bit more than books on the desk.
We’re Ian Feyk and Kristen J. Tsetsi. Some projects are Ian’s, some are Kristen’s, and some we make together. Each has its own home and personality. This is our place to open the window and let you see what we’re up to.
