History
Originally called 1stBooks, the company was founded in Bloomington, Indiana, USA, in January 1997. Its first e-book appeared in June of that year. In January 1999, it started using print-on-demand technology to produce paper books. AuthorHouse's website states the company has published 60,000 books by 40,000 authors. The company opened an office in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, in May 2004. In December 2005, AuthorHouse was "nominated" by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce for the Small Business of the Year Award.
The California-based investment group Bertram Capital purchased AuthorHouse in 2007 from Gazelle TechVentures, which had owned AuthorHouse since 2002. Later that year, Bertram established Author Solutions and acquired one of AuthorHouse's competitors - iUniverse - before relocating iUniverse's operations to Indiana in early 2008.

Lighthouse
by: OtherwiseTrapped behind this tangled steel, at a loss for words,
I don't know how I really feel, did I get what I deserved?
A second chance or a second curse, I struggle to decide.
The ambulance outran the hearse, you sure you wanna ride?
There's something about the way you move,
That I can't explain.
There's something about the light in you,
And it takes away the pain.
The metal tears into my flesh, and poisons me inside,
But I won't be silenced like the rest, I'll never let this die.
'Cause broken bones can't break my soul, or take away my pride.
I'm gonna steal your precious heart of gold,
I want you by my side.
There's something about the way you move,
That I can't explain.
There's something about the light in you,
And it takes away the pain.
Bring me your light!
Bring me your light!
Light! Light!
There's something about the way you move,
That I can't explain.
There's something about the light in you,
And it takes away the pain.
It takes away the pain.
You take away the pain.
