Five siblings. Five lanterns. One porch light left on.
How the lanterns got lit
Once
We grew up together
Five kids, one house, a lot of read-aloud nights.
Then
We scattered into different lives
A library, a base, a home full of remarkable minds, two brothers building.
Now
The lives became the books
We write what our own children needed — and publish it ourselves.
Five lanterns, one porch
The Builder
Keeps the lights on and the presses running.
The Librarian
M.A. in English. Every book passes her first.
The Military Mom
Writes the stories for the waiting.
The Autism Mom
Mother of two remarkable sons; designs for every kind of mind.
The Youngest
Keeper of the treasury. The Littlest Light — and yes, he knows.
For the record
BOY-run? bwa-ROON? Byron.
Our pen name is easier than our mailbox. Our real name is Boirun — and even we argue about how to say it.
What we hold to
- Honest endings — we never fake scarcity, reviews, or press.
- No preachiness — one verse per book, tucked in like a gift.
- A word for every feeling — the real point of every story.
- Art is AI-assisted, disclosed here — every story comes from a real life.
“Let your light shine before others.”
