Post Scripts is pleased to tell you about a new children’s book, The Daughters Daring, written by one of our own. Steve writes:
The Daughters Daring is the fulfillment of a promise I made to my daughters. When they were little I worked a lot of hours and often got home just before their bedtime. This became our time and they insisted on bedtime stories which I made up for them. Now I have put these stories in writing with a fantasy adventure that features young female protagonists, Emily and Elizabeth Daring.
The book is now available for pre-order on Amazon:
Children’s Fantasy. Emily and Elizabeth Daring, always the adventure seekers, get the adventure of a lifetime when they investigate their kingdom’s missing sweetberries. Deep in the enchanted forest they find themselves surrounded by goblins, aided by gnomes, and at odds with a mysterious witch. When they discover the witch’s plans to send an army of ogres against their home kingdom of Highcynder, the Daughters Daring are faced with their greatest adventure yet! They’ll need their courage and wits to save their home, their family, and themselves!
This amazing adventure is the first ever childrens book from author Steven J Thompson, a veteran and army drill sergeant who wanted to give his own daughters a story about courage, family, and being daring in the face of danger.
Both the ebook and print copy will be ready October 1st.
Once again, congratulations Steve. We wish you great success in selling your book.
Jack & Tina,
Thank you for the friendly post. This one book took a full year’s work from start to finish and is a big accomplishment to me an my family whether we sell any copies or not. I appreciate the support everyone has shown.

Very cool! Fantasy books could always use more strong female protagonists, and to see them coming out of a conservative writer is truly inspiring.
Thank you Chris. If you look at the bookstore shelves there are lots of books like this with male characters, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, etc. I wanted my daughters to have heroes they could relate too, and I hope it does the same for other girls. It could be a niche that has been left unfilled and I’m hoping to capture it.
Wonderful.
