*Sunbelt Publications is a primary Southwest/ Baja book publisher and distributor. Here is the page to just their Baja & Mexico books: https://sunbeltpublications.com/product-category/all-regions...
Exciting News from the Sunbelt Crew!
Sunbelt Founders Diana and Lowell Lindsay are retiring! The new owners of Sunbelt Publications are long time employees Lisa Gulick and Maria
Groschup-Black, and Maria's wife Nichole.
Together, Lisa and Maria have 40 combined years with the company and will strive to continue the legacy that is Sunbelt Publications. Diana will
continue in supportive roles while she works on her many writing projects.
Lisa will continue in her role of sales manager extraordinaire and assume the title of CEO. Maria takes the role of CFO while continuing her work in
accounting, and managing the warehouse. Nichole, new to the business, is assuming the role of corporate secretary and holds title as The Manager of
all Things Strange.
To all of our fans and customers, Sunbelt Publications will continue to produce and provide the high quality titles and stellar customer service for
which we are known. We welcome your feedback, so please let us know how we can better serve our community!
Lisa Gulick
Spotlight on Lisa
Lisa began her sales career at Sunbelt in 1997 and quickly became account manager for larger accounts. Eventually she became sales and office manager
where she has delighted us all with her wit, and ability to know just what the client needs. It has been said the she is the one who coined the phrase
"you want fries with that."
When not glued to her sales desk, or managing the latest office project, Lisa enjoys writing, reading, and all things mystical.
Spotlight on Maria
No one is exactly sure when Maria joined Sunbelt, as she just kind of showed up one day, but best estimates are early 2010. Since then she has worked
in a variety of positions and is a Jill of All Trades. Maria started in sales at first and then spent time in marketing. Eventually she took over the
accounting office and found a happy fit. Most recently Maria added warehouse management to her resume and enjoys splitting her activities throughout
the day.
When not working, she tends her worm farm, or can be found fishing off the Ocean Beach Pier for mackerel which she then uses for catfish bait at the
local reservoir.
Spotlight on Nichole
Nichole comes to Sunbelt from a very different background. She is a full-time Special Education Teacher of severely disabled students and also tutors
outside of class. Her patience and calm manner are invaluable to Lisa and Maria as they frequently turn to her for research, ideas, and aesthetics
when planning a project. She is the queen of handling odd forms and processes that businesses require in order to make all of the bells and whistles
work.
In her spare time Nichole can be found.... Oh who are we kidding? Nichole has no spare time.
===========================================================================
Spotlight on: The Rest of the Story...
Debi Young will continue as our Production Manager, putting together award-winning books and creating exiting new publications. In the warehouse we
have assistance as needed from some very key fellas for whom we are so greatly appreciative!
And as it must be said, "Thank You! Thank You!" to our customers, authors, vendors, and friends. Sunbelt Publications is only possible because of your
support, talent, input, and assistance throughout the years. We look forward to to continuing our work with you all!
In addition to change of ownership and management, Sunbelt Publications will be moving to a new location. Keep an eye open for more on that later!

I think I mentioned the coincidence to her, at least once!?
Lisa is the person I heave dealt with for my books, they have distributed over the years.
I wish her all the luck and I have offered to help any way I can.
