Two years ago today, the Byways series was “born on the 4th of July.” On Your Marks: The Adventure Begins kicks off a three-way storyline that follows the courses of three brothers. Ewan, Zane, and Ganix take sibling rivalry to new lengths as they race each other across their homeland. While Liberty isn’t anything like the USA, each book in the unfolding tale takes its cue from one of the fifty states. That educational twist sets these children’s chapter books apart, proving that learning can be all kinds of fun.
Stowaways. Runaways. Royalty. Rogues. Magic. Mischief. Luck. Learning.

Update! I’ve spent the last couple months deep in Liberty, wrapping up manuscripts for the next three Byways Books. Time to launching into editing mode! Meanwhile, the illustrations are coming along beautifully. This trio is momentous because with books #11, #12, and #13, we’ve now covered the thirteen original colonies! (And hey, did you notice that there’s a circle of 13 stars on the cover? Rangers also wear cloak pins with thirteen stars.) Look forward to Byways #11, Beneath the Torch: A Ewan Johns Adventure (NY), which is our first brother crossover, Byways #12, In the Middle: A Zane Johns Adventure (NC), and Byways #13, Among the Tents: A Ganix Johns Adventure (RI). They’ll be releasing this summer!

The Keeper charged through the Harrow’s front door, bellowing, “Aurelius!”
“In here,” his brother-in-law sang out.
Following the sound of his voice into the sleeping chamber, he found the man packing for his trip. Holding up two vests in slightly different shades of brown, he asked, “Chestnut or nutmeg?”
