Once upon a time, there was a man who had a daughter. The daughter, full of imagination and creativity, wrote a book filled with fantastical creatures, magical abilities, and characters who band together to fight injustice and evil. Having written the book, the daughter approached the man and proclaimed, "I've written a book!" The man, a loving father, immediately founded Austin Publishing in the summer of 2026 to ensure that nothing would stand in the way of his daughter becoming a published author.
To scour the world for quality, wholesome, and uplifting stories, experiences, or pearls of wisdom that have been written down, placed in storage somewhere, or are even just an idea in someone's head — and publish those words or thoughts for the enjoyment of all.
Austin Publishing, because of the inspiration of one young lady, will be a business that works tirelessly to inspire others to become published authors — a publisher, true to their logo, the shield, who delivers wholesome and uplifting books from authors who feel valued and supported to readers who don't have to question what they are reading.
Book One in The Raito Chronicles
A middle-grade fantasy about unlikely heroes.
When the ancient dragons that have held back the power of the Kurayami for centuries fall captive to a growing evil, one dragon turns to a group of teenagers, each with their own unique strengths, to free the dragons and stop the Kurayami's rise.
They come from different backgrounds. Some are warriors, some are royals, and some are regular high schoolers. Separately, they are ordinary. Together, they may hold the power to face danger and become the light the world desperately needs.
