Refocuspublishing.com is a bookstore on a quest. Our mission is to advance the equality in representation of genders in literature. We take classic works of literature and refocus them to represent the opposite gender of the original work. This allows everyone to consume these works with equal representation of genders in lead and supporting characters. The wonderful aspect of refocusing the classics is that the characters tend to be fully developed. They are not mundane representations of male or female stereotypes. In order to withstand the test of time they had to be human, and therefore like humans, their gender is irrelevant to the story. Refocusing these classics allows for an immediate collection of stories focused on the human experience from the opposite gendered perspective. Our daughters can connect with female characters being bold, strong, and passionate. Our sons with characters that are kind, intelligent and supportive. Read our powerful stories, see the world differently, and join our quest to create gender equality in fiction! Volume One includes: The Golden Bird Refocused by The Brothers' Grimm, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Refocused by Washington Irving, The Ransom of Red Chief Refocused by O. Henry, Sonnet 18 Refocused by William Shakespeare, Sonnet 130 Refocused by William Shakespeare, Antigone Refocused by Sophocles, The Most Dangerous Game Refocused by Richard Connell, and The Gentleman, or the Tiger? Refocused by Frank R. Stockton and Refocus Publishing.

PAYCHECK, originally written as a short story by Philip K. Dick and first published in 1953, centres on an electrician who wakes up to discover his employer has erased his memory of the past two years -- as a security measure. When he tries to collect his paycheck, he finds he has previously signed a release replacing the money with a bag of random objects. Previous film adaptations of Dick's short stories have included the box office smash hits MINORITY REPORT, TOTAL RECALL and BLADE RUNNER, released shortly after Dick died in 1982.
