We\’d also like to take a moment to celebrate the exceptional books that Audrey Press has published over the last year and the books from our catalog that continue to be our best sellers. As this publishing house continues to grow so does the level of quality and uniqueness in the books we offer book lovers far-n-wide.

We think ALL of our books are winners, but here is the handful that are standouts in 2019.

Audrey Press 2019 BEST SELLERS

 Sissy Goes Tiny by Rebecca Flansburg and BA Norrgard

\
Sissy Goes Tiny by Rebecca Flansburg and B.A. Norrgard

Co-written by Audrey Press\’ own \”Head Elf\” Rebecca Flansburg, Sissy Goes Tiny is a beautiful book that is about SO much more than living in a tiny house on wheels!

Eight-year-old Sissy and her parents make the bold choice to downsize their life and embark on a journey of living tiny and doing more with less. At first, Sissy struggles to get used to the idea of living in a tiny house on wheels and traveling around the U.S, but as she and her mommy and daddy learn about downsizing, repurposing, and how “stuff is just stuff,” she soon understands that a life of “living tiny” will be filled with the big adventures and learning.

This gorgeous diverse picture book is filled with \”gentle messages\” about doing more with less and you can read the full story of this journey here .

\”I believe that Sissy Goes Tiny is going to open so many minds for people! A tiny house is absolutely not for everyone, but we all like to dream and step into the shoes of another lifestyle in our minds. Learning about this lifestyle I think will help people be more supportive of people who do choose to live unconventionally. Sissy and her family are a great example of that.\” Co-author and tiny house dweller, B.A. Norrgard

This ​diverse picture book is now available on IndieBound and Amazon!

Dragons Are Real by Valarie Budayr

\

His name is Norbert and he was a childhood friend of mine as I played on the rolling hills of Gotland, Sweden. What you believed about dragons being terrifying is not correct–they actually make great friends!

What if I told you that all of the fairy tales, myths, and legends that have been told about dragons over the years are WRONG? What if I told you that Dragons are indeed REAL and that they are different than you\’ve ever imagined? Did you know that Dragons are the master of disguises and will do anything for treats?

Readers will love this “fairly true” story based on a childhood friendship with a REAL live Dragon.

YA Thrillers

Ascension by Hannah Rials

\

Hannah has been part of the Audre Press family since she was a tween! Ironically, that is aroung the same time she starting writing the first book in her YA thriller series, Ascension.

Fast forward about 7 years and Ascension was not only the first YA thriller published under our Aletha Press imprint, but the novel was a hit! Now as 2020 approaches, we are so proud of Hannah\’s success and are eagerly awaiting the time when we can release the final book in this popular series in early 2020.

Are you ready to be mesmerized by a modern-day teenage romance filled with “double-blooded” vampires and revenge-seeking witches? Steeped in the mystery, intrigue and rich history of New Orleans and the secretive world of the Deuxsang, teen vampire, Cheyenne, and her forbidden \love, Eli, embark on a very different, and vastly more dangerous, journey as the net of betrayal tightens around them. This intense and fresh novel is enchanting, engrossing and impossible to put down right up to the cliffhanger ending.

Grab Ascension on HERE for $9.95!
