To-date, we have published three science-fiction chapter books. But there are plans to publish adult science-fiction and poetry.

Squint & Rocket

Paperback, Kindle

When partners and unlikely friends, the gentlemanly Englishman Captain Ishmael Squint and the rough and rude American Rashomon Rocket, cross paths with their old enemy Henrich Schnitzelwisen, it’s time to take flight in the Captain’s airship and track down the lost treasures of ancient civilizations and renaissance inventors before evil gets there first. Check out this fun, family-friendly 1930’s pulp-style adventure for courageous young readers.

Reviews for Squint & Rocket

Squint & Rocket by Corbett Buchly is a well-written steampunk-esque adventure story that takes place in various locations around the globe….You’ll find plenty of fun and excitement between these pages, as well as some very nice artwork.

The kids of ages ranging from 3-11 loved it and would specifically ask for this book to be read. Even I enjoyed reading it over and over for the kids. Of course, I perfected my character voices more each time.

Loaned this book to my 11-year-old neighbor. He loved it and wanted to loan it on to his friends. Not sure I’ll ever see it again 🙂

What an exciting book for children. It was imaginative, humorous, and fun. Our son and daughter both loved it, and are looking forward to the rest of the series.
