Unbelievable Milestone for The Green Ember Series
Off to Press!
Hi Friend,
Will you take a quick moment to be grateful with me?
Recently, we were looking at some final proofs of the third and final book in the Lost Tales Trilogy. We had to make some changes and correct some last minute mistakes. Last week I shared how I continue making while mistakes pile up around me.
And now, The Lost Tales Book III: The Lost Cause is officially off to the printers! 🎉🎊
This is exciting because it will be the first printing of my 18th book, the 14th Green Ember book. But not long after that, Andrew (Story Warren publisher) informed me that The Green Ember just went to the printers, too.
Not for the first printing, but for the 21st printing.
So I just wanted to say thank you. The 14th book in the Green Ember series is going in for its first printing while the first book going in for its 21st printing. That’s amazing to me! I’m so grateful to my Father in heaven, and genuinely to all of you. Thank you for reading these stories and sharing them with your children. It’s a privilege to serve you and your family in this calling.

Reading Challenge Finale
Our Green Ember Summer Reading Challenge has concluded. I’ve enjoyed seeing and hearing about the fun you’ve had reading (or rereading) Green Ember this summer. There are more reading challenges in the works.
“This is our son, Jaden – he’s 15 years old. He has read through the series around 4 times. He has purchased every book offered on your website, and has read all of them more than once. He wears green ember gear almost daily. His favorite book in the summer reading challenge was Green Ember, Ember rising, and his favorite character is picket. Jaden is looking forward to the Q&A!”“
“My name is Desmond and I am 5 years old. I read all the books with my dad this summer. My favorite character is Picket and my favorite book was Ember’s End! We just started Helmer in the Dragon Tomb.”
Thank you for joining my family on this adventure. My heart has always been to be your ally, to serve you and your family with stories that cultivate moral imagination and heroic virtue, with new stories with an old soul.
I’m on your side,
Sam
