Books by Jerry R. Steele Jr.

Children’s Books

From runaway boogers and battling bedtime to climbing into your own mouth to fight off the Cavity Creeps, these tales go wherever the imagination dares—including school kids pulling candy heists with counterfeit money, a zombie vs. fishstick swim meet, and a flower who finally gets her wish, only to realize it will cost her life. From the wild to the tender, each story is written to spark laughter and wonder in little old souls in PJs—told through picture books, chapter books, and bedtime tales.

Literary Fiction & Lyrical Journeys

These are stories shaped by wind and road, grief and grace. Some grew from journals; others sparked in holding cells, waiting for the judge. One blinked into being in a castle courtyard when the wind came barreling through with stories of her own—enough to fill an entire novel. Whether set in Denmark, California, or the Land of the Midnight Sun, these stories speak the language of longing. Blending myth, memory, and rhythm, they move beyond genre—lyrical, emotional, and searching for what still flickers just out of reach, across story, novel, journey, and screen.
