Smart stories, epic ideas

Blog

Author J.B. Simmons blogs on creative writing, editing, publishing, and music. He is the bestselling author of twelve books that bring hope to dystopia. Readers can't put them down.

November 2018 marks the release of The Blue Tower, the first book of a YA series about a boy who wakes up in a mysterious tower with no memories of his former life. He must learn who he was before he can figure out why he's here...and how to get out.

The Unbound trilogy tells the story of a teen from Manhattan with nightmares of a dragon and the world ending in 2066. It has been acclaimed as "The Da Vinci Code meets Hunger Games meets Left Behind... An imagining epic." (Hugh Hewitt)
