In The Green Ember, we first meet Heather and Picket who find themselves in the midst of an unexpected-and highly dangerous-adventure. Fans will be pleased to learn that in addition to the three books that have already been released, Smith is currently working on at least one more volume in The Green Ember series. The story of The Green Ember was initially inspired by the stories Smith told his children out on the front porch of the family’s West Virginia home. While Smith crafts stories that are stylistically reminiscent of the masters of the genre, the concept of rabbits with swords is a new and undeniably endearing approach. Smith‘s goal is to tell “new stories with an old soul.” If you glance through the hundreds of positive reviews his books have accumulated on Amazon and Goodreads, you’ll find that he has accomplished just that.
