Ember to Spine Books publishes stories across genres and formats, from early readers to full-length novels.

Some begin in the Australian Outback. Some cross Cold War Africa, the American West, or the jungles of Vietnam. Some are written for young readers, some for adults, and some are meant to grow with the reader along the way.

What connects them is simple: the story comes first.
