All an author asks for is a chance. A chance, and

All an author asks for is a chance. A chance, and the worshipful adulation of millions, skyrocketing sales and awards and parades and magnificent statues looming before grand institutions named in our honor.

We are a modest bunch.

When I wrote The Green Ember, I genuinely just wanted a chance. I wanted readers to give it a try. Also, I was terrified of this very thing. It turns out this is normal.

“I am afraid it is only too likely to be true what you say about the critics and the public. I am dreading the publication for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at.” J. R. R. Tolkien (as publication of The Lord of the Rings neared)

Getting past the fear is not possible. It cannot be sneaked around. The fear must be assaulted—like war on a sorcerer’s tower. Again and again, until it becomes a habit. The habit of sharing something generous with the world. So we can get a chance.

Give us a chance, and we will give you our hearts.

We will expose our hearts to be shot at.

Whatever the noble endeavor, it is a brave thing to stick your neck out in a world full of flashing swords. Few are brave enough to stick out their soft, supple necks, but everyone has a sword. Everyone loves to use their swords. Swords are easy to use. It’s easy to go around chop, chop, chopping.

When I was ready to share The Green Ember, the weapons were there. “Friendly fire” hit me from behind, from where I expected cover and succor. I reeled, wounded. But then help came, and it came, and it came. It has never stopped coming.

Allies, near and far, charged in. Surrounded me. Pushed me ahead. I was wounded (there are always wounds), but we were advancing. I was moving ahead and I didn’t even understand how it was happening. But nearly everywhere I looked there were friends, old and new, and I was on the march again.

You gave me a chance. You held my heart in your hands and you surprised me with your tenderness. Thank you.

Thank you for encouraging words, for kind reviews, for “giving me five,” and for giving my stories—and me—a chance.

I will never forget it.

I’m a parent like you and I want my kids to get lost in adventures that won’t get them lost. So much modern storytelling is just thinly-veiled propaganda. But I want my kids to read excellent, noble, fun, faithful stories.

So I created The Green Ember world. These books have been a huge hit in my home and beyond (with well over a million sold). Check out the reviews on Amazon. I think you’ll love them too.

I’m S. D. Smith (Sam) and I give your family soul-shaping, memory-making, darkness-shaking adventures.

The new book is officially out at Amazon!

This weekend we honestly and for realsies had to go back to the warehouse (once again!) to sign 4,000 more books—thanks to your incredible support of our store!

But lots of people order from Amazon and that is great for us too! Get it on Kindle. Get it on Hardback. For real. And it REALLY HELPS IF YOU LEAVE A REVIEW. Okay, no more yelling. That was unprofessional and conduct unbecoming an author of such scholarly weight and heft and dignity and gravity and baldness.

Mooses has been a huge hit! Our ten book signed Green Ember Series set has also been flying off the shelves! There’s so much more at our store to love like shirts, swords, mugs, hats, etc.

Because of stuff and things, we didn’t do any major prep for Black Friday or Small Business Saturday or Cyber Monday or WeSellWalnuts Wednesday, but we do have EXCELLENT DEALS that are great for families for Christmas gifts. Only a few days left to get a free audiobook or download with any purchase using code DownloadFREE at checkout.

So, in conclusion, we’re super duper grateful when you buy at Amazon or Rainforest Empire or Our Family Store or at your favorite bookstore or from a sketchy food truck as a zesty side.

Thank you!
