We are excited to celebrate one of our very own Spencer County High School graduates from the Class of 2010, Taylor Carden Kemper, who is now a published author!
Taylorโs debut novel, THE GINGHAMS, is set to hit shelves everywhere on July 28, and we couldnโt be more proud of all she has accomplished. Seeing our graduates chase their dreams and share their talents with the world is what itโs all about!
THE GINGHAMS has been chosen as an American Booksellers Association Kids Indies Introduce Pick! Indies Introduce is a list of the top ten debut middle-grade and YA books publishing within a certain period and acts as a launching pad for new talentโthe books are chosen by a committee of independent booksellers and become featured titles for indie stores across the country!
If youโre looking to support her, THE GINGHAMS is available for preorder now, and early orders come with some fun extras like a signed bookmark and unique stickers to celebrate this exciting release.
๐ Join us in congratulating Taylor and wishing her all the best as she launches her writing career! We canโt wait to see where this journey takes her.
Once a Bear.....Always a Bear!
