History

It began humbly on an Appalachian porch with S. D. “Sam” Smith improvising a story about rabbits with swords for his young kids. After years of unforgettable memories in a shared serial adventure, Sam’s kids begged him to write down their beloved story in a novel. He and their Uncle Andrew formed a small family business and independently published the book and its sequels. Over a decade and 1.7 million copies sold later, the Green Ember phenomenon is spreading around the world. For a time the number one bestselling audiobook on Audible, these stories of heroic courage have been enjoyed on all seven continents. (Yes, even on a research station in Antarctica.)

Green Ember fans haven’t just read the books. They make their own stories, flood their beloved author’s mailbox with fan mail, create incredible art, celebrate with book clubs and Green Ember-themed birthday parties, and play as characters in their backyards with rabbit ears and wooden swords. Now, for the first time, there’s a new way to play Green Ember.
