Apollo 1 Catalogue connects readers with independent authors and creators — giving every voice a stage and every book a chance to find its audience.
We built Apollo 1 Catalogue because great stories were going unread — not because they weren’t good enough, but because authors couldn’t get their work seen.

From the author of Small Town Love comes a gripping tale of trauma, injustice, and the shattering consequences of one fateful decision. Juliana, a young woman in a small town, makes the mistake of delivering baked goods to a camp of soldiers — thinking she is doing a kind gesture. But her world is forever changed when two soldiers brutally assault her. In the aftermath, she is left hollow, replaying the horrific events over and over. Her father then forces her into an unthinkable arrangement: marry her attacker to preserve the family’s reputation. Juliana is trapped. Disgraced. Violated. With no allies and no escape, she must find the strength to survive this ultimate betrayal. Dancing with the Enemy is a harrowing story that exposes the darkest depths of human cruelty and society’s unjust treatment of victims — a powerful novel that will leave you shaken, but inspired by one woman’s resilient spirit.

About Dr. Manuel
Dr. Tracey B. Manuel is a Chief Information Security Officer, U.S. Army veteran, doctoral researcher, and published author. His career spans government agencies including the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, and the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as private sector leadership at his firm Security 1st Consulting — a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business.
As a Basic Training Company Commander at Fort Jackson, Dr. Manuel was responsible for transitioning civilians into soldiers — overseeing the welfare, morale, combat readiness, and training of over 230 people. That experience shaped his approach to leadership development in every setting since.
His book Navigating the Next Generation: A Guide to Working with Millennials and Gen-Z is the culmination of doctoral research and professional experience. He brings that same depth and practicality to every keynote, workshop, and consulting engagement.

Our Story
About Apollo 1 Catalogue
A platform built because great stories were going unread — and that wasn’t acceptable.
The Mission
Apollo 1 Catalogue was founded in 2022 with a single purpose: to remove the friction between creators and the audiences who need their work.
Traditional publishing is slow, gatekept, and expensive. Many talented authors find it nearly impossible to get their work in front of readers. Apollo 1 Catalogue was built to change that.
We give authors and creators a digital home for their work, a platform with worldwide reach, and the tools to share their stories without navigating a system that wasn’t designed for them.
What We Believe
Every idea has value. Every story deserves a chance. The world is better when more voices are heard.
Dr. Tracey B. Manuel
Founder, Apollo 1 Catalogue
Dr. Manuel is a Chief Information Security Officer, veteran, and published author with over two decades of leadership experience. He founded Apollo 1 Catalogue after experiencing firsthand how difficult it can be to share your work with the world.
“I built this because I needed it to exist — and I knew other creators did too.”
